“Mr. Chesterton writes extremely good detective stories—detective stories the more fascinating because if there is about them a hint of irony, there is also more than a hint of poetry and a shadow—or, if you will, a glow—of the mystic and the supernatural.”—New York Times
“The stories are entertaining; the mysteries and their solutions are ingenius and interesting.”—New York Sun
“The stories are vastly entertaining, and excellent specimens of literary craftsmanship at the same time.”—The Outlook
“Never were philosophy, ethics and religion preached in a more unusual manner.”—Chicago Tribune
“In their own Chestertonic realm, the stories are personal and convincing; full, too, of the charm of landscape. The author arranges his scenes and marshals his characters with an artistic eye worthy of a Poe.”—Chicago Evening Post
