review 1: Graphic books are relatively new to me and I am still sampling them from different genres within the genre. This one is billed as a mystery graphic novel and mysteries are some of my favorite books, so I grabbed it. It has also been praised as a great first book by this author, who is based in Brighton. The story takes place in London, the home base of the main character, who is a private detective. I haven't read many British mysteries so probably missed a lot, but certainly enjoyed it. The famous British understatement is found here and makes for lots of smiling in the middle of a murder. Hmmmm.....is that a good thing? Not sure about the talking teabag, but I intend to check out Berry's other books. 3 stars
review 2: The art in this book is a... moremazing. The monochromatic scheme really immerses the reader in the noir style of the story. There are many nuances, and ever time I read this book I discover new details or story points. The partnership between Britten and Brulightly hints at the mental difficulties within his character. You really have to read this book more than once to fully understand the progression of events. less
