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… Here you will find the complete Father Brown stories in the chronological order of their original publication. The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13.

This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Very well done on all counts
A very enjoyable collection of stories, well read and well told. I was amazed at how the author was able to immerse herself in the 12th century so completely, and bring the time and the lives of the characters so vividly to our mind. She was able to show us how humans haven’t really changed in character, just the trappings of civilization have changed. Our essential natures remain the same, we fight the same internal battles of good and evil that have been struggling within ourselves since biblical times.

A well-produced selection of Cadfael stories.
Derek Jacobi's fine performance and many character voices brings this selection of stories from the Cadfael Chronicles to life. If you liked Ellis Peter's historical novels you'll enjoy the respectful treatment they're given here. It's a good representative cross section of the 21 books in the series.

Sir Derek Jacobi is true to form
This is a good collection of Ellis Peters' stories: great mysteries, excellent narration, although I personally preferred to slow it down by 10%.

👍👍👍
Derek Jacobi will always be Cadfael to me. I’ve found spending some time in the 12th cent a refuge from the 21st.
