Ep.73 Father Brown: The Sins of Prince Saradine

Nostalgic Mystery Radio

Rough and tough Hard-boiled detectives grab a lot of attention, but who would have a better insight on the nature of human evil than “a man who does next to nothing but hear men's real sins”?
Where could you find a more “soft-boiled” character than the parish priest. Mutual brought The Adventures of Father Brown to the air in 1945. Father Brown was the antithesis of the more celebrated soft-boiled detective, Sherlock Holmes. Where Holmes was a master of deduction, Father Brown relied on intuition based on his familiarity on men’s souls.
The Sins of Prince Saradine: Father Brown accompanies Flambeau, who was invited to visit the mysterious Prince Saradine in Norfolk. They get in some good fishing, but things don't go well when they come across a couple of murders.
