The Poet and the Lunatics
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
The same pen that wrote the famous Father Brown stories here presents another volume of equally delightful mystery and murder stories with a central figure running through them all. For those who like to go a bit further than plot there is an additional mental exhilaration in store. (Ontario Library Review, 1929)

Retired Librarian
This is not for everyone. There is a great deal of talking and very convoluted ways of reaching the solutions/answers to the riddles and puzzles presented. There is a great deal of philosophy and delving into the characters involved. Not the average mysteries in any sense of the meaning.
