The Classic Tales Book Club was so much fun! It was great getting to know you, and talking a little shop. I think next time we'll have some giveaways, so keep your schedule clear for the second Wednesday in April.
I've been having fun designing the specials for our Kickstarter for the next Arsène Lupin book – The Golden Triangle. Boxed sets, special editions, enamel pins – I've got a lot to do, and I want to get it all ready so we can hit the ground running. Keep an ear open for when we pull the trigger!
G.K. Chesterton was a pioneer of the detective story. Many consider his creation of Father Brown the equivalent to, if not an improvement on, Sherlock Holmes. The window that a man of the cloth has to the dark secrets of crime is indeed fascinating and very effective in solving crime.
One thing I noticed in today's story is Chesterton's use of racism as a plot device. This story will land differently on twenty-first century ears than it did when it was written in 1911. I don't want to say much about it other than there are some racially charged terms in the story today – just a heads up.
And now, The Wrong Shape, by G.K. Chesterton.
