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)

Total agreement with Paul....up to now I've given librivox a wide berth. This reader is not of their usual level. Good stuff!

Thank you r. green. Its always good to have someone validate your judgement. If you have been frustrated by poor quality narration and therefore not listened to what should be excellent stories then may I suggest a channel called Selva Lore. Selva meaning Jungle in one of the South Asian languages such as Hindi, Gujarati or Tamil. These are the boys own adventure type stories about man eating Tigers or Leopards and the hunting of them. The narrator is a man called Apratim Viraaj Singh who is South Asian and they are in English. Not only are they great stories, for adults, not children, but Mr Singh's velvet tones together with his pacing, emphasis pronunciation and occasional small mistakes is just peerless. His accent brings the story to life and if you enjoy the subject matter then there is simply no equal. Wonderful. You obviously have good judgement in these things so please do give them a try. I listen whilst driving or when about to fall asleep..

May I compliment on your excellent reading. Enhanced at times by accents. I must admit to having been put off some recordings in the past due to the reader. Not this time. Thank you very much Mr Minter.

In the second story "the knights Cross Signal Problem" I don't understand how the solution helped prove the signalmans innocents. The villain has a relatively easy out - suicide, instead of a trial and being hanged. But without a confession, nothing Max knows helps the client.

It’s really the singer not the song. (For those who enjoyed Mr. Andy Minter’s reading, he had actually read some other works under the name Termin Dyan at LibriVox.)
