The Naomi Blake series follows a former police officer who lost her sight and now lives in a quiet English village. Despite being out of the force, Naomi keeps getting pulled into criminal investigations, often working alongside her partner Alec and former colleagues. Her sharp memory and keen instincts for reading people make her a natural detective even without her vision.
Starting with Mourning The Little Dead in 2002, the series ran for 16 books through 2018. The cases range from murder and missing persons to identity theft and organized crime. Adams uses the rural English setting well, and Naomi’s blindness adds a fresh angle to the standard crime fiction formula without ever feeling like a gimmick.
