Review: Unexpected Pleasure
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book was a completely unexpected pleasure, and I enjoyed it as much or even more than the Father Brown mysteries.The central figure of the book is a respected judge who left the bench due to madness. Or was he really sane, and the world around him was mad? The central premise is a private club, and in order to qualify for membership, prospects must make their living in a completely unique manner that has never been tried before.The stories are humorous and quite clever, and always guaranteed a surprise ending, unlike anything I had read before. Not a long book- I read it through in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down, it was so entertaining and imaginative.This was just a fun, fun book to read, and if you love books like me, it's a thrill to find a buried treasure like this one once in a while!
