Isa Browni lood
Isa Brown on lühikest kasvu ning tüsedavõitu ja tal on tavaliselt kaasas suur vihmavari. Selle petlikult süütu välimuse varjus peitub inimhinge hea tundja ja kuritegude osav lahendaja – sellele on aidanud kaasa preestriamet ja paljude pihtimuste kuulamine. Kui Sherlock Holmes kasutas kuritegude lahendamisel teaduslikke meetodeid, siis isa Brown loodab pigem oma intuitsioonile ja sellele, mida teab inimlikust kurjusest. Ta püüab panna end mõistatust lahendades kurjategija olukorda, mõelda tema kombel ning jõuda nii lahenduseni. Kõigile juhtumitele antakse lugude lõpus siiski ka ratsionaalne seletus.

Lisaks isa Browni lugudele mõned krimijutud ka teistest kogumikest. Head ideed, kahju, et lood on lühikesed.
