The Innocence of Father Brown by G.K. Chesterton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was a bit too "English" for my liking, too many descriptions of English scenery, etc. I found the collection of stories charming, if nothing else, having been written around the turn of the twentieth century - also not one of my favorite periods of literature.
I was surprised to find so little overt theology, given that the main character is a crime-solving Catholic priest.
I did, however, enjoy G.K. Chesterton's sharp wit and I look forward to reading his more theological works.
