LibriVox, public domain recording of Ernest Bramah's Four Max Carrodos Detective Stories read by Andy Minter.
Ernest Bramah is mainly known for his ‘Kai Lung’ books - Dorothy L Sayers often used quotes from them for her chapter headings. In his lifetime however he was equally well known for his detective stories. Since Sherlock Holmes we have had French detectives, Belgian detectives, aristocratic detectives, royal detectives, ecclesiastical detectives, drunken detectives and even a (very) few quite normal happily married detectives. Max Carrados was however probably the first blind detective. (Summary by Andy Minter)

Perplexing . . .
On one level, these are entertaining stories that are fun to listen to. On another level, the stories are perplexing and require quite a bit of thought, attention and inference to piece together just how Max figures them out. In so much detective/mystery fiction, the answer is handed to you on a plate in the last chapter. Here it is not, so you either walk away with a superficial "well, whatever", or you puzzle for days to pinpoint the clues that Max "saw" along the way.
As always, Andy Minter does an excellent job as a reader. I enjoyed his Indian and Australian accents in this project. It's clear that he puts a lot of work into designing the voices for the characters, before one word is ever spoken into the microphone. Well done Andy!
