  The Absence of Mr Glass

  G. K. Chesterton

  A fun-filled little story by Chesterton, the father of the paradox and perhaps as skilled a popular storyteller as any of the Edwardian Era. It is always a delight to read any of these simple Father Brown stories because while they are worthy detective tales in their own right, they are also ingeniously constructed parables which teach us, not too didactically, how not to assume or judge things prematurely. Chesterton's writing is witty and concise and yet also vivid and nuanced and Father Brown himself is a charmingly congenial character worth rooting for every time. 
  Father Brown is a short, nondescript Catholic Priest with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella who has an uncanny insight into human evil. His methods, unlike those of his near contemporary Sherlock Holmes, although based on observation of details often unnoticed by others, tended to be intuitive rather than deductive. Although clearly devout, he always emphasizes rationality: despite his religiousness and his belief in God and miracles, he manages to see the perfectly ordinary, natural explanation of the problem. He is a devout, educated and "civilized" clergyman, who is totally familiar with contemporary and secular thought and behavior. His character was though to be based on Father John O'Connor (1870 - 1952), a parish priest in Bradford, Yorkshire.

  🐑 Sheep breeder and show organizer Baa-bara Woolcott is running the prestigious National Sheep Show when the event's most competitive exhibitor—a notorious fleece champion with questionable breeding practices—is found dead in the show ring, tangled in blue ribbon with a suspicious shearing mark on the championship fleece. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Baa-bara notices the fleece has been deliberately contaminated with vegetable matter and the victim's breeding records contain falsified lineage documents. With the sheep show in turmoil and the farming community bleating with suspicion, Baa-bara must herd the facts together. Assisted by her 4-H club students and the handsome veterinary geneticist analyzing DNA samples, Baa-bara uncovers a scheme involving sheep identity theft, fraudulent breeding records, and a sophisticated operation swapping premium breeding stock with inferior animals. From suspicious wool crimp patterns that reveal cross-breeding to DNA markers that don't match the registered lineage, every fleece tells a story. But when Baa-bara discovers the victim was systematically replacing prize-winning bloodlines with ordinary stock to control the breeding market, she realizes the killer is protecting genetic integrity more valuable than any trophy. With the grand championship judging approaching and the real fleece fraudster still pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, Baa-bara must corral the evidence before her own reputation gets sheared for good.
