Father Brown is a Roman Catholic priest who is short in stature, clumsy, and all together blends into the furniture. However, Father Brown also solves crimes. He stars in shortstories that were originally serialized in newspapers between 1910 and 1936.
These stories are extremely well-written in terms of the language itself. The mysteries are compelling without being super macabre, and Father Brown as a character is a great detective. I've heard the 53 or so stories vary in quality, but this anthology is a very good collection of mysteries.
