The Adventures of Father Brown is an American radio crime drama that aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System, adapted from G. K. Chesterton's stories of Father Brown. It debuted on June 10, 1945, and ended on July 29, 1945.
Each episode began with commission of a crime, after which Father Brown's help was sought either by the police or by someone affected by the crime. Father brown solved each crime by thinking as the criminal would have thought. He said, "When I've reached the point of committing the crime myself, then I know who the criminal is." He worked with Detective Flambeau more than any other policeman. The series shifted the setting to "the contemporary American scene"
