This story was excellently preformed. Chesterton spins beautiful sentences which made me want to push the 30 second rewind just to hear words said that way again. Father Brown makes philosophical and moral points along with his explanations which make the listener think about more than just the story. I loved it!

Excellent writing and narration

I've read the Father Brown series numerous times so the fact that I'm already a fan of G. K. Chesterton is well established. Father Brown is a character that has the ability to think like a criminal and yet hold onto his core of ethics. Father Brown is not a contemporary detective. This series was written some time ago (around the first world war) and so the stories reflect that era. One of my favorite things about this character is his wandering thoughts. He is more concerned with the repentance of the criminal rather than the prosecution of him.

Nigel Peever's voice is an excellent match for the Father Brown series. I wasn't sure what to expect as I have also listened to the dramatization and seen several TV versions of these books. I was pleasantly surprised. Peever creates different voices (and accents) for each character and yet he is easily able to capture that nostalgic feeling that you want to experience with this mystery series.

I also got a sense of the character's age which is wonderfully unique. His pacing, enunciation and breath control is excellent. His performance just feels effortless I think it's the sign of a skilled narrator when their performance allows you to forget you're being read to and focus on the story instead.

Nigel Peever's voice rivals that of George Guitar, 😃 such that he makes you believe or personifies Father Brown incarnate.

Soothing narration

The Innocence. of. Father Brown..by.Chesterton
What a fantastic collection, the stories maybe from another era of time, and a few British words, we may not be use to. They still bring hours of enjoyment, and with the audio by Nigel Peever, they were superb.

These are GK Chesterton’s enjoyable Father Brown mystery stories. The narration by Nigel Peever was wonderful as usual. He created unique voices with accents and inflections appropriate to the characters. His performance brings the characters and story to life.

New life for Father Brown classics!
