Sinopse

In James Hay's 'No Clue!', readers are introduced to Detective Jefferson Hastings, an astute protagonist embedded in a world of crime and aristocratic intrigue. Set against the lavish backdrop of Sloanehurst, Hay's narrative unfolds with a blend of suspense and meticulous detail, characteristic of the early twentieth-century detective genre. The book basks in the literary tradition of the whodunit, bearing the influence of contemporaries such as Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Hay successfully weaves a complex mystery, one that relies on subtle hints and the psychological acumen of his detective, demonstrating a deep understanding of both human nature and the mechanics of narrative suspense.
In understanding the author, James Hay, Jr.'s background illuminates the fabric of his creative output. As a novelist and a seasoned journalist hailing from Harrisonburg, Virginia, Hay's career encompassed contributions to 'Asheville Citizen' magazine and his involvement with the National Press Club. His firsthand experience with political figures and his residence in historically rich locales permeate his writing, evident in the authentic settings and the intricate societal interactions that define his work. Hay's insight into crime and its investigation, enriched by his connections, undoubtedly shapes the verisimilitude and engrossing realism found in 'No Clue!'.
'No Clue!' is a seminal work recommended for aficionados of classic detective narratives and readers yearning for a cerebral engagement. Hay's craftsmanship in suspense is coupled with a layered storytelling approach that captures the essence of the genre while offering an array of dimensional characters and a well-structured plot. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of a well-told mystery, and a nod to the intricate dance between a detective's intellect and the elusive truth within a crime. For those seeking to be ensnared by a tale that rewards the attentive and the astute, James Hay's novel remains an undiminished choice.

    The Scandal of Father Brown was G.K. Chesterton's final set of Father Brown short stories. Also included in this collection is the short story "The Mask of Midas". 
    The enigmatic and diminutive priest continues to fathom the deepest of mysteries in a set of 11 fascinating stories which are set in such diverse locations as a Mexican Hotel, an English Seaside Pier, and an Oxford University Garden. Chesterton presents his humble and blinking detective as an almost childlike contrast to the bizarre and dark machinations of the fallen world. And yet Father Brown is far from a saintly figure; with his enjoyment of good wine and cigars, he is fully in the world but not of the world. Indeed, it is his accurate and insightful reading of Men and Women's souls that often lead him to understand their actions and motives. If any has taken to heart Christ's admonition to be as “wise as serpents and harmless as doves" it is Father Brown! 
    Head Stories Audio presents "The Scandal of Father Brown" :narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
