The Scandal of Father Brown by G.K. Chesterton

3.0

This was the weakest of the Father Brown books. I’ve read that Chesterton had grown tired of his detective priest after the first two books, but I don’t think it really showed until this last collection. Chesterton’s language lacks the artistic flair of the early stories and the crimes all seem vaguely similar. I enjoyed it for what it was but I’m not sure I would read another if there were more.
