The Oracle of the Dog | A Father Brown story by G. K. Chesterton | Full Audiobook

The press calls it the "invisible murder case": Colonel Druce was stabbed while alone in his summerhouse – yet multiple witnesses confirm that no-one was seen to enter or leave. And the victim's dog, who was out on a walk at the time of the murder, began to howl inexplicably at just about the time the crime was committed. Could the dog really hold the key to the mystery...?

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was an English author, theologian, philosopher and critic, who produced a wide-ranging output of fiction, poetry and journalism. His writing covered a wide variety of subjects, ranging from crime fiction to Christianity. His most famous novel is probably the "metaphysical thriller" 'The Man Who Was Thursday' (1908), but his most famous fictional creation is surely Father Brown, the Catholic priest-detective who featured in more than 50 short stories published episodically between 1910 and 1936. A complete contrast to his (near) contemporary Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown is quiet, unassuming and solves crimes with instinct, intuition and a deep understanding of human nature.

'The Oracle of the Dog' first appeared in the December 1923 edition of Nash's and Pall Mall Magazine, London, and in Hearst's International (in the USA) in the same month. It was subsequently published in the third collection of stories featuring the priest-detective, 'The Incredulity of Father Brown' (Cassell & Co., 1926).
