Didn't work very well as a graphic novel. The story cut out too much of the vital plot points.

As always with her books intriguing.

A great combination of his styles, comic and geeky yet deep and meaningful.

An enjoyable first novel. Not your normal murder mystery but compelling plus lots of sex
