In this new series, based on the character created by G.K. Chesterton, the charismatic priest Father Brown investigates the murder of an eccentric beekeeper, uncovers the hidden motivations behind a deadly art exhibition, and steps in when Mrs. McCarthy’s family reunion is threatened by a fortune-teller’s predictions. And when rebellious socialite Bunty is tried for the murder of a young aristocrat, it’s a race against time for Father Brown to prove her innocence and save her from the hangman’s noose.
