The word 'heyday' is not normally used as a plural, but maybe an exception should be made for Daisy Hayes. From early adolescence straight to a ripe middle age, our favorite blind sleuth has known different periods of glory, as her adventures in "The Nightlife of the Blind" amply illustrate.

Together with "Cockett's Last Cock-up" and "Murder on the High Sea", this volume combines the most enervating 'impossible crime' mysteries that Daisy was ever confronted with, the solving of which entailed her most classic sleuthing exploits. A locked-room murder, the corpse of a passenger floating at sea far ahead of the ship she was sailing on, and a cold case going 44 years back... But such fiendish plots do not preclude the human interest provided by a great variety of original and endearing characters or, for that matter, an underlying sense of fun.

Perhaps 'heydays' should be understood as referring to the heights that Daisy reached through her most challenging and stirring adventures, never mind in which periods in time they took place.
