Rivers of London Volume 3: Black Mould

Rivers of London Volume 3: Black Mould (2017) Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan

I read these as ebooks, but being able to read on paper made a surprisingly huge difference.

It’s possible I picked up on more things because it was the second read, but I think it’s because I could read it as a whole, instead of flipping through individual panels (which is what I have to do on the Fire, because otherwise the text is too small to read).

Bits such as where the criminal tells Guleed and Peter, “you don’t look like the police” followed by the look they’re giving each other, came across much better for me on paper.

Of course, now I’m obsessed because I recognize one of the album covers on one of the walls, and I can’t figure out what it is.

I also find it much easier to flip back and check things with paper.

But I mostly love that Guleed gets a fair amount of page time, and that she’s a hell of a character.
Rating: 8/10
