The Paradox of the Whispering Manor: A Gilbert Chesterton Mystery

By Thomas M Lutz

The secluded Whispering Manor holds more than just secrets; it cradles a dead man and a paradox only Gilbert Chesterton can unravel. Invited for quiet writing retreat, the budding mystery author finds himself thrust into a real-life whodunit when Lord Ashworth is found murdered, a cryptic chess piece clutched in his dead cold hand. The local constabulary sees an open-and-shut-case, but Gilbert senses a deeper game afoot. As Inspector Davies narrows in on the obvious suspect, Lord Ashworth's estranged nephew in line for an inheritance, Gilbert Chesterton perceives inconsistencies, a subtle dissonance in the seemingly simple crime. He champions the underdog, applying the very keen observations and moral insight he attributes to his literary creation, Father Brown, to uncover the truth. But at Whispering Manor truth is a shifting shadow.

Can Gilbert Chesterton expose the redemptive human nature lurking beneath the layers of deceit, and unmask a killer before an innocent man pays the ultimate price.
