Even though the previous book (A Sunless Sea)
dealt with Opium and this book (Blind Justice) is centered around religious
fraud, the two books are duplicates. The ethical dilemma in both is Sir Oliver
Rathbone’s struggles with the pornographic photographs of powerful men bequeathed
to him by his deceased father-in-law. Should he use them for good or will the
implied power corrupt him? The author extensively refers back to previous
volumes in this long series. These two books overlap in their backstories.
Aside from these major duplications, small details are also duplicated, such as
lawyers needed to stall the trial waiting for new evidence.
The other disappointment was that the final revelation seemed to be obvious from the beginning.
Don’t read these two books one after the
other.
