Max Carrados by Ernest Bramah

5.0

Max Carrados is one of the Edwardian detectives in the short story collection. I found him interesting. He is blind from an accident, but has trained all his other senses to make up for being unable to see. He also has an assistant who "sees" for him and has trained himself to make note of things his employer might be interested in. A friend has become a private detective and comes to him for information about a coin that may be fake, Carrados' name given to him by a coin dealer. Max asks him to come to him again with a case if he helps him solve this one. So becomes a regular communication between the two and Max helping him to solve cases or solving them for him.
His eplanations and how he learns what he wants to know are quite interesting.
