Rivers Of London: Body Work by @Ben_Aaronovitch

By Pamelascott

His latest case begins with a perfectly innocent car on a homicidal killing spree - without a driver. But the, before you know it, there's a Bosnian refugee, the Most Haunted Car in England, a bunch of teenagers loaded on Ketamine and seemingly-harmless wooden bench with the darkest of pasts...

I'm ashamed to admit I've only read one book in the series. I jumped at the chance to read Body Work because I've always wanted to read more. This graphic novel uses an unusual structure, the illustrations are on one side and the original script and directions are on the other. It took a few pages to get use to the layout. I really enjoyed this book. The story reminded me a little of Christine by Stephen King only a little less graphic and horrific. I also enjoyed reading the original script and notes.
