The Mirror of the Magistrate: A Dead Judge, a Poet Under Suspicion | Father Brown

A judge is dead. A poet's strange behaviour makes him an easy suspect. Father Brown doubts that an easy explanation is a true one.

The Mirror of the Magistrate sets evidence against assumptions about character. As the inquiry focuses on an awkward outsider, the priest asks whether the investigators understand the man they are accusing.

This G. K. Chesterton mystery explores the danger of mistaking eccentricity for guilt. Hear the case in HRV's Father Brown collection.
