This review is from: Best Max Carrados Detective Stories (Paperback)

Max Carrados, the blind detective was given birth to by Ernest
Bramah. Even being blind, Max could tell you almost minute details of a person seeking his help. Sherlock Holmes could do
it by just looking at the person but Max had to rely on his
inner intuition and most of the time he was correct. Ernest Bramah
was born in Manchester, England in 1868. Oddly enough he started
out as a farmer, then drifting into journalism. He is believed
to have lived in China for awhile as he was also the author of,
Kai Lung, a story teller in ancient China. I have not read these
tales; I do not know how hard they are to find. The Max carrados
tales were mostly written in the 1920's. Aside from this book, I
know he has other stories out there but I havent been able to find
them. Max Carrados has always intrigued me; b eing able to solve
difficult mysteries with no seeing capacity. Some of the tales in
this book are:The coin of Dionysius; the Knight's Cross Signal
Problem; The mystery of the poisoned Dish of Mushrooms(a very special mystery) and 4-5 others.
