I downloaded this to the kindle app on my iPhone as my "emergency" book, so that I would never be without something to read in a pinch. It is free on amazon.
This is a collection of eight related short stories, all mysteries featuring an amateur sleuth named Horne Fisher. I read the first one today and, although I thought the plot was rushed, it was still entertaining. Chesterton is better known for his Father Brown series, which I haven't read, but think I would enjoy.

I read that a loooong time ago. But I'm glad you mentioned it. I can add it to my post next week for my Friday's Free Books on Kindle list. Thanks for posting it.
