3.0

I liked this volume better than the first in the series, perhaps because the stories felt more varied to me, but I did feel like the anti-religious drum-beating of all those who opposed Father Brown got pretty same-y after a while. There are only so many stories in a row where a character should say, "YOU'RE a priest, therefore you believe in all sorts of mystical nonsense!" before it becomes a bit tired, just from a writing perspective (regardless of how you feel about religions and priests).
