Kate at Cross Examining Crime hosts a fun mystery cover game on Instagram called Murder Every Monday. Our assignment, should we choose to accept it, is to display book covers and titles from books you own that meet prompts which she posts well in advance (see link).
Today's theme is books with a character that is blind. This was a tough one. I know that I've read (and own) more books with blind characters, but I can't seem to think of them. I've hunted down every one of them that I've reviewed, but there were others read before blogging that are going to be missed.
Most of these have a blind detective--if only briefly. The John Creasey book finds Inspector West temporarily blinded by a former "client" bent on revenge. Kendrick and Bramah both feature very talented blind detectives. Christie features a blind woman who has a corpse foisted upon her and Dalton features blind victim.
