Himmel, Herrgott, Mord: Pater Brown ermittelt
Wie ein Held wirkt er nun wirklich Pater Brown ist unscheinbar, unbeholfen, dicklich, kurzsichtig, hat einen riesigen Kopf und macht einen etwas einfältigen Eindruck. Noch dazu ist er Priester. Doch unterschätzen sollte man den Geistlichen aus Essex keinesfalls. Gesegnet mit reichlich Menschenverstand (und göttlichem Beistand), hat Pater Brown noch jeden Verbrecher überführt, wenngleich er die Strafe oftmals der göttlichen Gerichtsbarkeit überlässt. Und als katholischer Geistlicher weiß er mehr über die Sünden, die Abgründe der Menschen, über das Böse als seine säkularen Kollegen Holmes, Poirot oder Marple. Was ihn das Böse auf Erden ertragen lässt? Sein Humor – und der hat es in sich. In diesem Band sind zwölf Fälle des wohl ungewöhnlichsten Ermittlers der Kriminalliteratur versammelt.
