The Man Who Knew Too Much Reviews

3.5
“Since this is a collection of different stories some of them are better than the others, meaning they have more memorable plots and settings and I understand the certain social critique Chesterton is getting at. There were more political themes in this one than any old Father Brown story though so I was a trifle lost a lot of the time. I do enjoy the challenge of trying to follow his stories nonetheless. I can heartily agree that Horne Fisher does indeed know too much.”
