About this audiobook
Valentin's problem is that he has no clue where to start looking... until in a restaurant where he has his breakfast, the salt and sugar are in the wrong containers. And then he learns that two priests had been in the restaurant earlier, and one of them had deliberately thrown his soup at the wall.
On a hunch, Valentin at once sets off in hot pursuit of the two priests, and finds a trail of the oddest clues all across London.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Can Father Brown outwit the great criminal Flambeau, and if so, how in my first Father Brown story.
An amusing short story. On to the next - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5In this first Fr. Brown mystery, Fr. Brown takes a back seat to Detective Valentin of the French police. Valentin is chasing a robber and is one step behind him. He is led on a merry chase from Harwich, through London to Hampstead Heath where Fr. Brown finally appears. Before the arrest is made, there is a discussion about the universality of Christian morality, which a century later this atheist did not find very tolerable. The chase itself is good fun.
