Anna Munden

A supposed accident at sea makes a daughter doubt the innocence of her father.

When headstrong Merrin, trapped in the rhythms of her family's mussel-picking trade, stumbles upon a mysterious hagstone, she unwittingly sets off a chain of events that challenges her family ties, and the unseen forces shaping their mundane lives.

Father Brown is based on G. K. Chesterton's detective stories about a Catholic priest who doubles as an amateur detective in order to try and solve mysteries.

In the last years of Victoria's reign, London is beset by the "Touched": people — mostly women — who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities, some charming, some very disturbing. Among them are Amalia True, a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair, a brilliant young inventor. They are the champions of this new underclass, making a home for the Touched, while fighting the forces of… well, pretty much all the forces — to make room for those whom history as we know it has no place.

An anthology series of hotly contested criminal trials that divides the nation and take place in the full glare of the media spotlight.
