Summary
Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself...

dreary
hard to listen to and to follow the stories because of the dreary, monotonous narration.

Woeful
I liked the tv series so thought this would be the same.
Wrong.
The narrator has a monotone voice so all the participants sounded as Sean Connery or Micheal Cane were narrating.
May be just me, I found the whole of part 1 hard to follow, so the rest will not get a listen or mention.

Monotonous narration
The stories might be ok, but it drags and you miss some of the story because you stop listening at times...feels so uninteresting due to the narrator not being up to scratch. Overall, downloaded 41 hours and listened to only 3 hours worth, one to avoid unless you only listen to one chapter every so often

This title would not download onto my iPad. It was fine on my computer and iPhone, but when completed on the iPad a box appears telling me that the file was corrupted, please try again! This has not happened with any other Audiobook I have purchased.

Audible re do this!
Had major problems with this book. Downloaded first time, it was slow. When tried to listen a little alert came up stating it was unable to run it. So deleted and tried again, second time it stopped about ten minutes into first story! Read tales some years back and was looking forward to listening to them. No wonder it was so cheap! Not sure why its so bad running/downloading. The narrator was dire. what i heard of it too.. Avoid if I were you. sending it back

Good narration, easy listening.
As someone unfamiliar with the TV show I found myself enjoying these short stories which are similar in style to Sherlock Holmes. If you're looking for a romping narrative and nail biting tension this probably isnt the audiobook for you. The stories contained within can be digested individually with no need to start at the beginning. I found this easy listening whilst working from home and driving as I could zone in and out without feeling that I had missed a key plot line. Great if like me you stick an audiobook on before going to bed and can never remember where you were up to by the time you fell asleep! The narrator is easy on the ears and consistent throughout.
