3.5
“3.5-3.8 I like some of the stories more than others.
And since the exact collection I listened to is not on here imma write down which stories were included if only for my own sanity.
The Blue Cross- 4 stars, took a bit to get into but I love the tv show Father Brown episode of this story and the ending was fun.
The Honour of Israel Gow- 3.5 I’ve half forgotten what happened in this one already but I liked the people working together and that one of my fav characters in the show and books I learned a new thing about. I won’t say who cuz spoilers but the character kinda switches sides from crime to inspector and it was cool.
The Absence of Mr Glass- 3.5 like them all my fav part was the end when they put everything together cuz it was kinda chaotic at first
The Resurrection of Father Brown- 4 Not a story I was previously familiar with but it was fun and I liked that it was a little different than the others. Plus being Catholic myself it’s fun when they talk about faith a little more in the story! Oh and the Sherlock Holmes references were greatly appreciated of course.”
“Fun detective stories. Has some quotable quotes.”
