Sobre IBD

G. K. Chesterton’s book of short stories, The Man Who Knew Too Much, published in 1922, mixes theology with mystery fiction. The eight stories revolve around the detective, Horne Fisher, as he solves crimes occurring among the political elites in prewar England. He is both aided and hindered by his own enmeshed in the lives of these politicians, due to friendships or familial ties. Fisher discusses the state of affairs with his friend, Harold March, and we come across many of Fisher’s philosophical and theological positions, which reflect those of Chesterton. This is a fabulous and thrilling read, full of intrigue and suspense, but also a reflection on how to make sense of the bad and good in all people.
