Golden Age (42) : Called Back

In Called Back by Hugh Conway, a blind man witnesses (though not be sight of course) a terrible crime, a murder. Later on his blindness is cured and he falls in love with a mysterious woman. However, he knows that she was involved in the crime but not exactly how...

Although the book was apparently a success when released in the late 19th century, and was adapted into a stage play, i found this a troublesome and frequently annoying read. 

The story moves on at a pace though i found it rather melodramatic and the plot a bit too fanciful, though a common fault/feature (delete depending on your point of view) of the time.
