Grandville mon amour6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Whether Bryan Talbot puts two hundred words on his page, or none whatsoever, there is little difference in how long you take to read them all, for the level of fine artistry and detail is evident throughout. The film version would be spectacular, as it is on paper. The fact we get a prologue here, then the initial title page, and many of the end credits and copyrights etc at the back, suggest this book is cinematic. Are they linked? What might their story be? And is there a darker part of the past yet to come out of some secretive hiding place, and cause even more danger and peril? But in the prologue here he bursts out of his quandary, and once more causes problems for LeBrock - this time by slaughtering some Parisian prostitutes. At least the main problem, 'Mad Dog' Mastock, was sentenced to the guillotine. The first book in this series didn't end particularly well for DI LeBrock, the badger who works for Scotland Yard. Summary: A return to the world of the badger detective - or is that detective badger? - with his nemesis fresh out the cage. ![]()
