Any Father Brown and Don Matteo fans here?
I've read all of the Father Brown books and watched all of the episodes for both shows that are available for streaming. I'm not religious but think the stories provide good food for thought.

I enjoy the Don Matteo show, they're light but nice. Never seen the books, I presume there are some.
