The Invisible Man

'You see, it was just the very things that no one ever notices that he could count on being unnoticed.' The fifth short story featuring the iconic priest detective, Father Brown, The Invisible Man is one of G. K. Chesterton's most sophisticated mysteries. In this enthralling crime novel, a baffling murder shocks London: a man has been murdered in a locked room after receiving anonymous threats, his body resurfacing in a nearby canal. Witnesses swear no one went in – or out. The suspect? A supposedly invisible man. But as panic spreads across the local area, Father Brown, the quiet priest with a razor-sharp mind, believes all is not what it seems. As he begins to unravel the fatal mystery, Brown cleverly illustrates how anyone can become invisible – not by magic, but by expectation. A gripping tale of illusion, perception and the danger of what we choose not to see, The Invisible Man is one of Chesterton's most revered narratives. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by … Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.
