Another wonderful, dark story

Anne Perry and her characters as well as Davina Porter’s excellent narration make this fictional story that includes some of the history of 1800’s England both an entertaining and enlightening listen. Thank you to all.

More depth than earlier works

Anne Perry reaches a pinnacle of perfection in revealing character and plot. This is attorney Rathbone’s comeuppance and his deliverance. Perry delves deeply into his moral makeup and his conscience and allows readers to identify with his struggles. Despite our many strengths we are fallible and have lessons to learn. The author has a gift with her insights into the human heart and mind, shown more keenly in Blind Justice than all the prior books in her Inspector Monk series. As narrator, Ms Porter does a superb job of nuancing this wonderful prose.

Best Perry Ever!

What did you love best about Blind Justice?

I have either read or listened to the entire Monk and Esther series; this book, with Sir Oliver's career, reputation and freedom in the balance was by far the best...and Davina Porter is perfect, as always.

couldn't put it down

I've been reading Anne Perry for years, always enjoying her books. With audiobooks now, Davina Porter makes them more alive and addictive.

Amazing

One of my favorites. Unique look at right, wrong, and standing for right even when it goes against the rules. Davina Porter did an amazing job.

Wonderful!

Where does Blind Justice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of Anne Perry's best.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

This was suspenseful. I was worried for Rathbone from the start and I was not sure how it would end.

Which scene was your favorite?

The courtroom scenes were outstanding.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The obvious pain between Rathbone and Margaret.

When she came to confront him in the home they once shared.

Perry Strikes Again

I admit it right from the start. I am an Anne Perry addict! I have been reading her work as long as she had been writing, I think.

Blind Justice is one of her best books. Monk, Hester and Oliver Rathbone are present, but the twist on the story (not a plot spoiler, no worries) is terrific, unexpected and completely engaging.

Davina Porter's narration of this wonderful mystery is - as always - magnificent. Her voice is ideal for Perry's characters, no matter their traits, accents, quirks, etc., etc.

This is a "must read" for Perry fans!

Only one bad thing about this book!

As always, an excellent story told by an excellent narrator - Davina Porter is one of my top five favorites - and only one problem. The end of this book sounds like and feels like the end of the series. I pray my instincts are totally off base. It is never pleasant to see the end of a leading character's career, though, Ms. Perry has allowed for career changes in earlier books in this series which broadened the scope of experience for those characters. I will be waiting for the next book in her Monk series and hoping she will write many more.

Love the legal analysis!!

I am an attorney and I love reading the different perspectives and the analysis of Anne Perry. She can present both sides do convincingly.

Thoroughly enjoyed it

There were a few minor plot holes but I really enjoyed it. If you like this book, look at the Pittsburgh series by the same author.
