Rivers of London: Detective Stories #4.1

Rivers of London: Detective Stories #4.1 (2017) Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan, Luis Guerrero, Mack Chater

I am… confused by this.

This is Detective Stories #4.1 and it just came out. Rivers of London: Detective Stories #2 comes out July 12. Rivers of London: Detective Stories #3 comes out August 9th.

All I can figure is that they’re just messing with us and publishing randomly. Which is actually a very interesting thing to do.

Peter Grant is hoping to become a detective, but first he has to go to the review board.

This story is supposed to be one that can serve as an introduction to the series, and I think that is doable. Whether you could jump into the latest book after this? That I don’t think so.

But I do like it, and am very curious as to where this is going.

Two additional notes. First, I love the fact that the female characters are realistically built (and curvy! Or dumpy! As described!) while Peter and Nightingale are almost stick figures they are so tall and thin.

Second, I’ll note that while the previous book took *forever* to come out, he seems to have come up with a LOT of extra material while writing that, which is coming out it comics, which is really cool.
