Epub Blind Justice
I enjoy the Monk series very much (even though the last 3 or 4 books in the series have not been as enjoyable as the earlier books). Blind Justice is well written and has an interesting story regarding Oliver Rathbone buried in it. But for the most part, there was too much extraneous writing that did not move the story along nor was it interesting (for example the dinner party and Oliver's fascination with the judge's wife).
Anne Perry seems to be moving in a different direction in her writings by suddenly changing some of the characters. For instance, in the Monk series Anne Perry has careful developed Oliver Rathbone's character and how he built his career and made an excellent reputation for himself. He gets married after his reputation and career has been established and finds a woman who seems perfect for him. Anne Perry carefully developed the character of Margaret (from an upper class family) who was a volunteer at Hester's clinic. Then suddenly the woman changes, leaves Oliver, and (in this book) becomes vindictive. Oliver gets in trouble and loses everything, including his judgeship and his law practice. Why? Where is Anne Perry going with the character of Oliver Rathbone? There are no clues to let the reader know.
As other reviewers have pointed out, Anne Perry spends too much time sharing Oliver's thoughts. They were boring (because he keeps going over and over the same issues, not only in this book, but in the previous Monk books). It seems like Anne Perry has lost her inspiration (and fills in gaps with the boring thought processes of the characters) and isn't finding material to keep the Monk series attractive to the readers. Note to Anne Perry: I can help you there.
William Monk and his wife Hester have been battling injustice for years, often at great cost to their safety and peace of mind. In Anne Perry's latest Victorian mystery, "Blind Justice," Hester and Monk are determined to support and assist their close friend, Oliver Rathbone, who is under arrest and about to stand trial. If convicted, Rathbone could lose everything that he has worked so hard to achieve--wealth, position, and a reputation for integrity and brilliance.
Now, Oliver stands accused of perverting the course of justice. If he is convicted and sent to prison, he will endure terrible physical and emotional suffering. Monk, Hester, and their ward, Scuff, would like to spare Oliver this terrible fate. Monk, who was a private enquiry agent and is now the commander of the Thames River Police, does what he can to uncover facts that might put Rathbone's actions in a more favorable light.
One reason for the continuing popularity of this series is Perry's insight into the culture, social conditions, and atmosphere of Victorian London. The author focuses on the divide between rich and poor and also exposes the hypocrisy of those who purport to be respectable citizens while secretly engaging in corrupt and immoral behavior. Even if these scoundrels were to be exposed, some of them have enough power and influence to avoid retribution.
Monk and Hester continue to be a well-matched pair whose successful union is based on respect, affection, and honesty. The addition of Scuff to their family has enriched their lives immeasurably. Their happiness is in marked contrast to Rathbone's loneliness, guilt, and regret. He is at a crossroads, with his personal life in ruins and his legal career in jeopardy.
