Blind Justice

1994Bruce Alexander

2.9/5

A delightful historical mystery! The main character, Sir John Fielding was half brother to Henry Fielding who wrote the brilliant The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling and this book is written in a Fielding type style. Old fashioned but still easy to read.Set in London in 1768 the book is busy with prostitutes, gamblers and street thieves. We visit Newgate Jail and Bow Street Court where Sir John deals out justice on criminals caught by the Bow Street Runners. I love all this historical stuff!Then of course there is the mystery which is written a bit like an Agatha Christie novel with lots of clues for us to follow, a few red herrings along the way and finally a gathering of all the important parties where the truth is slowly revealed. I was not smart enough to predict the clever twist at the end.I thoroughly enjoyed this and have already ordered the next book.
