Отец Браун
Част от най-добрите произведения на Честъртън с главен герой отец Браун са събрани в “Отец Браун и неразрешимата загадка”. В книгата са подбрани разкази, в които детективското разследване е нещо повече от наблюдателност, прозорливост и пъргавина на мисълта. В тези творби авторът залага върху всяка дума и всеки жест – и в литературен, и в психологически смисъл. Подобна художествена презицност отдавна липсва сред съвременната криминална белетристика и именно затова срещата с разказите на Честъртън обещава първокласно удоволствие за изтънчения читател.

Определено имаше някои историики, които далеч не ме грабнаха. Но имаше и някои, които бяха добри и интересни, за жалост обаче, първият тип лично за мен бяха в повече. Книжката не е нищо особено, но все пак ѝ давам 3 звезди заради малкото завладяващи истории.

12 разказа за отец Браун, всеки от тях уникален по своята заплетеност и развой. Много ми хареса как във всяка история отецът е представен с по няколко думи - никъде авторът не се опитва да създаде пълна картина на отчето (което на хартия е доста по-симпатично от екранизирания образ). Самият начин на писане на Честъртън също ми допадна, кратки разкази, ясни герои, мрачни образи.
Препоръчвам на феновете на класическите криминални романи :)
