<\/a>Rivers of London<\/a>: Detective Stories #4.1<\/em> (2017) Ben Aaronovitch<\/a>, Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan, Luis Guerrero, Mack Chater<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I am… confused by this.<\/p>\n

This is Detective Stories #4.1<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"Peter Grant is hoping to become a detective, but first he has to go to the review board.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But I do like it, and am very curious as to where this is going.
<\/p>\n

\"\"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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
