Summary

Anne Perry's Inspector William Monk: in search of justice, he will not stop until he has found the truth...Oliver Rathbone, William Monk's close friend, has presided brilliantly over his first cases as a judge. But the next will bring a far greater challenge.

Abel Taft, a charismatic minister adored by his congregation, stands accused of terrible corruption and fraud which has ruined the lives of those he's betrayed. In court, each victim affirms Taft's guilt, but when the defence's star witness tears their stories apart, the case seems lost.

Rathbone realises he holds, locked away, a piece of evidence that could change the outcome of the trial and bring true justice, but can he, as the judge, become involved? The decision Rathbone makes will draw Monk deep into a dangerous case that will shape the rest of both their lives...

Wonderful story...

...dreadful narration. If I wanted this quality of narration I would buy the kindle version and use the reader to read it to me.
Luckily the narration doesn't detract from the storyline.

Really Good !

Despite the reader having a rushed manner when telling the story, I enjoyed the telling of it and will listen to it again. So I am happy to have used the
gift of a credit.

Blind Justice

A truly chilling novel of accurate Victorian class justice and exploits of the upper class who treated those who they believed were not of consequence with dis refused . I love the way Anne Perry writes and researched her novels

slow

There are too many repetitions of known and established facts in the central part of the book. The ending is good and is well thought out. A good read but slow in parts

Narrator too rushed

I love the Anne Perry Monk books, sadly too rushed in narration and lacks the depth and variation of the wonderful davina porter who read the first 5 books. Sadly the narration prevented me from continuing and also there is too big a gap from book 5 to book 19. So sadly I won't be listening to any more of these stores,

This reader Gabbles

I have ditched the book; I simply cannot listen to this reader. Deirdra Whelan reads at an incredible rate of knots, such a shame but I find it so irritating that it gets in the way of the story. The story gets one star simply because I haven't heard it.

Wonderful Story but......

Wonderful Story but so spoiled by the narrator.
The narrator is speaking far too fast which really spoiled the book for me.

Really Poor Narration

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

The narrator detracts from enjoying the story

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Deirdra Whelan?

Almost anyone. The narrator reads it too fast, as if she can't wait to get to the end. There is no depth to the narration. It spoils the story completely.

Any additional comments?

Don't buy this version of the novel.

Nonsence

What would have made Blind Justice better?

Normally I would not bother if something is really bad to write a review but this book is SO bad I thought I should protest! From beginning to end the story is repetitive illogical and badly thought out - with really weedy characters doing truly uninteresting and unbelievable things. I have enjoyed Anne Perry before and thought it would be the usual Victorian crime melodrama - but frankly the premise makes no sense, nothing that happens makes any sense and the conclusion makes no sense either!

Would you ever listen to anything by Anne Perry again?

Well yes I would, the earlier books are good fun and easy listening/reading but frankly this one is dire.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Deirdra Whelan?

Anybody really - but I see the wonderful Davina Porter has done some - if she had read the book she MIGHT have made it tolerable.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

This might have been a one-off so maybe listeners should try some of Perry's earlier books.
