About this listen

A man is found dead beneath a church tower, and the verdict seems obvious: an accident, an act of God, or perhaps divine judgment itself. But Father Brown sees what others miss.

In The Hammer of God, G.K. Chesterton delivers a chilling mystery that dismantles human pride and challenges our assumptions about justice, holiness, and guilt. With quiet insight and piercing logic, Father Brown proves once again that the greatest dangers are not supernatural—but moral.

Perfect for Mystery Monday, this classic detective story blends theological depth with a razor-sharp mystery that lingers long after the final word.
