Had to read more Father Brown after the first book

Revisado: 04-23-16

What did you love best about The Wisdom of Father Brown?

The stories, like the first book, are wonderful and the mysteries are great fun to solve. As always Father Brown is right in the thick of things, however, Flambeau is almost always present in these stories, which adds a whole new dynamic. I liked that it's almost "the adventures of Father Brown and Flambeau."

Which character – as performed by Frederick Davidson – was your favorite?

The performance was perfect! The narrator sounds just as you think Father Brown ought to and can then seamlessly move into a French accent for Flambeau. There isn't a whole lot of changing the voice to match a character, save if they are notated as being from a specific country of origin, which I liked as it seemed to keep the flow of the book better.

Classic story and a wonderful read

Revisado: 04-23-16

I always wanted to read this book as a child but never could seem to get around to it. Reading it as an adult I see how ahead of its time it was, and how Anna Sewell was trying to further the treatment of animals through a fictional autobiography of a horse. The performance was absolutely fantastic, as the narrator really made an effort to portray the emotions of all the characters.

Great mystery and classic Poirot

Revisado: 04-22-16

This was my second Poirot book and after the first I was anxious to read more. Although he is an odd fellow his methods are so interesting and this book is a great example of that. It had me guessing to the end. Just as I thought I had it sorted another plot twist was thrown at me. Absolutely loved it!

Wonderful collection of Poirot short stories

Revisado: 04-22-16

This collection of short stories was great to listen to some really had me going in one direction and surprised me with the outcome in true Agatha Christie fashion. I thoroughly enjoyed the short story format after the novels that preceded this book. I gave the performance four stars only because for the last few stories David Suchet's accent was slipping and the lines become slightly blurred as to whether it's Poirot or Hastings speaking. Other than that, he's a marvelous Poirot and reads in both accents flawlessly for most of the book.
