This graphic novel in the Rivers of London Universe sees the semi-regular character list expanded once more as Peter and Thomas get dragged in to another missing child case.
This time it’s the child of a Russian oligarch with Russian Mafia connections and some sort of connection to the “Faceless Man”.
As usual things spin out of control as they mafia send people to recruit Varvara Sidorovna who ‘politely’ refuses their advances and also to intimidate Bev with interesting results.
We also see the interference of Lesley which muddies the water even more and the possible abduction by a Russian monster, a Leshy complicates a lot of things, but as we progress through the whole story simplifies and comes to a very sharp ending.
I really haven’t read any of the graphic novels before, no matter what I thought, but am enjoying them and the depth they add to the universe.
Riverathon continues.
