Father brown is just not my favorite character. He's not likable... he has, I think, a lack of charisma!!!
The story is fine, but I I didn't like the religious touch he leaves at the end, too pretencious and out of place, in my opinion.
This was my second work of Chesterton and I'm starting to think he's not my type...

More vintage wisdom of Father Brown as he visits a friend's library on a writing assignment.

tried it out for oct fruitclub. will not be choosing (it's far too long to be considered a short story, anyway). i was bored and uninspired for most of it, but not so uninterested that i couldn't finish it. i will give it this one praise: absolutely banger last line.

This was my first G. K. Chesterton book, but I think I can say that Father Brown is a new favorite character. For being a short story, the characters were quite well-developed and endearing!

How was Colonel Druce killed while sitting in his summer house at Cranston, Yorkshire. No-one was seen entering and the knife was never found.

Father Brown is told of a mystery by his young friend, Fiennes, surrounding the murder of Colonel Drive. Unsolved, Fiennes recounts what he knows as well a giving Father Brown the newspaper account of the mystery. Father Brown is now well known for his mystery solving abilities; can he figure out thus one. Very enjoyable!

On the surface, this story is simply a light murder mystery with a twist ending, as readers have read multiple times from Agatha Christie and other brilliant mystery authors. But, below that, this story has a basic central theme. That we as humans often project our own assumptions unto animals, as well as unto other humans. In a sense, this story is an examination more of psychology than of murder, and I loved it for that. I鈥檝e read dozens of short mystery stories, but none of them had me impressed as much as this one.

Just another brilliant short story by G. K. Chesterton. The irony and the flawless apology to the rationality of the Catholic vision portrayed by Fr. Brown add a special component to the story.
I still have one doubt? Where did the murderer take the weapon from?

Keep calm and believe in the ability to detect the criminal of Father Brown. The story is as perfect as the protagonist Father Brown, who just by listening a story detected the original criminal. Pleasant reading.

I have to admit Father Brown is not among my favourite characters, but I'm still giving this 4 stars because of the lovely dog and because I found Fiennes to be quite charismatic. In my experience, any story becomes better when it introduces a dog!

An interesting novelette wherein the behavior of a dog during a sequence of events involving the murder of a man aids in Father Brown's identification of the perpetrator. Unique story line. Better than most, thus 3 stars.

My first Father Brown story but definitely not my last. Loved the inventiveness and motive of the murder!

Far-fetched.

Father Brown rails against superstition while figuring out another seemingly confusing crime.

Easy reading for boring evening.
