About the Author Ernest Bramah, of whom in his lifetime Who's Who had so little to say, was born in Manche-ster. At seventeen he chose farming as a pro-fession, but after three years of losing money gave it up to go into journalism. He started as correspondent on a typical provincial paper, then went to London as secretary to Jerome K. Jerome, and worked himself into the editorial side of Jerome's magazine, To-day, where the got the opportunity of meeting the most impor-tant literary figures of the day. But he soon left To-day to join a new publishing firm, as editor of a publication called The Minister; finally, after two years of this, he turned to writing as his full-time occupation. He was intensely intere-sted in coins and published a book on the En-glish regal copper coinage. He is, however, best known as the creator of the charming character Kai Lung who appears in Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat, Kai Lung's Golden Hours, The Wallet of Kai Lung, Kai Lung Beneath the Mulberry Tree, The Mirror of Kong Ho, and The Moon of Much Gladness; he also wrote two one-act plays which are often performed at London variety theatres, and many stories and articles in leading perio-dicals. He died in 1942.

By Paul Roberge In the Father Brown story, "The Strange Crime of John Boulnois," the title character describes his pleasure of sitting undisturbed in a comfortable chair, reading a mystery novel: "It was not only peace, but a plenitude." To replicate Boulnois's experience, find yourself a chair, a fireside, with a decanter of port at hand, and a Kindle version of Bramah's Max Carrados stories.Carrados is a blind man who detects by way of his nose, ears, and brain. He's assisted by his man Parkinson, who has trained himself to a masterful visual memory, and by an old detective friend, Carlyle. Carrados has the not very credible ability to read text by running his fingers over the printed page, but otherwise he presents a believable character. The plots are well-paced and varied, with the occasional unexpected ending.Sit back and enjoy.

Piepenbrink Max here was first of the breed, solving mysteries by intelligent use of his other senses, rational thought, and the eyes of his butler and others. The four stories here are only a sample. There are four volumes of "Max Carrados" stories in all. Workable mysteries, but not all "fair play" by later standards, since Max dates to a period when the rules of the detective story were still being worked out.Note that Bramah is also author of the "Kai Lung" stories quoted from time to time by Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. But the Max Carrados stories stand well on their own merits.

An Enjoyable Mystery Classic By Postscripter I just love the the real classics of mystery- those books and detectives that inspired Christie and Sayers. These four stories are great examples of why Ernest Bramah and his detective was one of those classics. Pity that Sherlock Holmes has so overshadowed the rest, that so many worthy fictional detectives have been forgotten.Then only reason I don't give this collection a 5 star rating is that once or twice a detail in the solution is not explained, as it is in the best mysteries. But don't let it keep you from getting this book, as it has period charm and atmosphere.Consider, that even the third rate, lowest, trashiest for the public litrature of the 1900's (which this book is not), was still better written than much of what is seriously on offer today. A sad comment on the average written english skills of most authors.
