The eyes of Max Carrados

In this collection the remarkable detective Max Carrados, a man who lost his sight years ago, uses his sharpened hearing, smell and intuition to unravel puzzles that baffle ordinary police. His long‑time companion, the sharp‑tongued former solicitor Carlyle, brings cases to him and provides the necessary foothold in the world of high society and shady alleys alike. Together they confront a range of tangled situations—from counterfeit ancient coins and vanished heiresses to poisoned feasts and eerie hauntings—each episode a self‑contained mystery.

What sets Carrados apart is the way his blindness becomes an advantage; he perceives subtle nuances in tone, footstep and scent that most people miss, turning ordinary rooms into maps of clues. Listeners are invited to follow his methodical reasoning, feeling the tension rise as he pieces together motives and alibis in real time, guided only by his extraordinary senses. The stories balance clever plot twists with a gentle humor, making each case a satisfying listen that showcases how determination can illuminate even the darkest of mysteries.
