Rivers of London Volume 5: Cry Fox
Rivers of London Volume 5: Cry Fox | Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel
2 posts | 10 read
CSI meets Harry Potter in this fantastic new graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch, writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series! Vengeful Russian mobsters are looking to hire members of London's own more-then-natural underworld to bring bloody retribution down on the witch Varvara. However, the ex-Soviet sorcerer is under the protective wing of London's own wizarding cop, Peter Grant (now a proper detective and everything), and to get the attention of Grant and his colleagues, the daughter of a prominent Russian oligarch is kidnapped by parties unknown but possibly fox-like. What makes it worse is that Peter is going to have to leave his beloved London and *gasp* go out into the countryside! And when there's trees and fields and wildlife involved, things never end well...

Sorry for being a little obsessed with The Rivers of London series lately; they are light enough that I can enjoy them when I can‘t concentrate, but they still can have some deeper themes. Cry Fox features Aaronovitch‘s take on The Most Dangerous Game with Reynard the Fox (or is he actually a fox?)

Mehso-so

The comics are still not as great as the books - it's missing a lot of the character flavour - but this most recent volume focused more on the supporting characters which I do appreciate. Pity the art is nothing to write about - it does the job, and not much else.
