Will Father Brown discover who killed the well-to-do ne’er-do-well? It appears as though he was stricken with the hammer of God. Is that a thing?

G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual self-trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot.

This story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, The Innocence of Father Brown.

Running time: 44 minutes

Horne Fisher is extremely well connected. The plans of Prime Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors and Chancellors are matters of table conversation - usually because these people are dining with him. And when a man so well connected is also a brilliant detective, all sinister motives and plots systematically unfold.

Whether it is a case of police corruption, or a war with Sweden, Horne Fisher can always solve it. But Horne Fisher is also a philosopher, and not a policeman, and the murderer is seldom punished.

G.K. Chesterton, author of the Father Brown stories, here introduces another detective outside the realm of conventional law enforcement. The Man Who Knew Too Much contains eight stories full of mystery and adventure, with a fair share of food for thought.

Running Time: approx. 6 hours, 22 minutes
