What is the story The Secret Garden by Eliza Burnett about?

Answer 1

*****Spoilers******

The Secret Garden is an absolutely brilliant mystery. In the previous story in the anthology, we are introduced to the great detective Valentin, and the clever priest Father Brown. In that story Valentin is a good guy.

In "The Secret Garden", a man is found beheaded in the garden. The problem: Why would someone hack off someone's head when he could just stab him or something? How did the dead man get into the garden in the first place? (A high wall surounds the garden). One guest, Brayne, is nowhere to be found after the body is discovered, leading the guests to believe Brayne was the culprit.

But then a surprise turns up- on the other side of the wall, in the river, a head without a body is found- Brayne's!

Father Brown finally comes up with a solution- The beheaded "body" found in the garden was not really what it seemed. It was Brayne's body but the head was that of a man who had been guillotined as a criminal. The murderer had beheaded Brayne and thrown Brayne's head over the wall where it fell into the river; hence, the discovery of the second head.

He had then placed the head of the random guillotined man's head by Brayne's body to make it look like one beheaded person.

The culprit? Valentin, who feared that Brayne, a millionaire, would provide funding to the Nationalistic party, of which he was a political enemy.
