The Club of Queer Trades, by GK Chesterton (Book Review)

The Club of Queer Trades,
by GK Chesterton (Book Review)

Short Review:
A mystery/detective book with very unexpected endings! Great book with a funny and witty take on businesses. Totally different perspective about some everyday occurrences and unfamiliar experiences.

Review:
This book stays strictly inside G.K. Chesterton's style. Or perhaps better stated, this book defines Chesterton's style. He starts with a situation that doesn't make any sense, builds a detective case about the situation or story, and then wraps up the story with a full and clear explanation that's almost hilarious. Different from the Father Brown series, this book focuses on explaining strange occurrences less related to crime, and more related to "business". It's a great light read.
