Best of vs. Complete

It seems that most people after viewing this are purchasing 'The Complete Father Brown' rather than this, and I would too. I've read Father Brown stories and they are all great! You cannot get enough of them, and I recommend getting 'The Complete', rather than 'The Best of'.

Great stories

I had to read this book for school, and I really enjoyed it! It's a collection of short mysteries which are solved by a "mild, hardworking little priest, named Father Brown." I'm not too crazy about mystery stories normally, but these were great! Father Brown is so awesome! He's one of my favorite characters out of all the books I've read, and that's saying quite a bit. This book is funny at times, and contains lots of small tidbits of wisdom. I highly recommend it.
