Father Brown

Father Brown

Father BrownSimon Marper

(light-hearted mystery, from G K Chesterton) - 3f, 5m

Every detective has his Moriarty, and mild-mannered Father Brown is no exception … but has he met his match? When three priceless diamonds disappear mysteriously in the midst of a lively pantomime, acted out impromptu by the guests at a festive house party, Father Brown is on hand to try and unmask the culprit. But is the thief one of the assembled company? And who is the guest who arrives at the door unexpectedly, halfway through the charade?

 

"A perfect and entertaining homage which is suitable for the whole family!" (whatsgoodtodo.com)

"As with all good mysteries there are missing jewels, telegrams, a few red herrings and a comic policeman. All wrapped up in the end by the calm all seeing Father Brown ... an enjoyable performance" (fairypoweredproductions.com)
