Summary
Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton's lovable little Norfolk priest, has an uncanny knack of unraveling mysteries that leave lesser mortals floundering. His sympathetic understanding of human nature never deserts him, even when he himself is touched by a breath of scandal, thanks to the hasty conclusions of a crusading newspaperman. In this collection, Father Brown uses his distinctive style of deduction to solve the seemingly insoluble.
The stories included are: "The Absence of Mr. Glass", "The Paradise of Thieves", "The Duel of Dr Hirsch", "The Man in the Passage", "The Mistake of the Machine", "The Head of Caesar", "The Purple Wig", "The Perishing of the Pendragons", "The God of the Gongs", "The Salad of Colonel Cray", "The Strange Crime of John Boulnois", and "The Fairy Tale of Father Brown".

Variety of tales
Love the length of the tales and love to hear the original stories which are of course different from the tv.

strange organization
as others have said each chapter contains more than one story so the change from one to another is strange and confusing

Not all stories included
What is included is great, 5 stars to stories and the narrator, but beware that only 8 of the stories listed in the description are included. Also I really would wish the chapters could be divided after the stories for easier navigation.

Layout
Given that it is a collection of short stories, why not split the chapters to reflect that,?

Incomplete
Graham is a better narrator than the ubiquitous Frederick Davidson, but at least three stories are missing, and the stories included don't match the "Chapters".

Chapters do not correspond to each short story
This is very irritating, why Audible do you do this? Surely it can't be difficult to have one chapter per story 😡
