In one panel Peter Grant is riding an unicorn and in another panel he's getting a lift on a small whale. Just add more Latin and it would be exactly the Rivers of London graphic novel experience I want.

MUCH better than the previous volume. Peter helps investigate a murder that's associated with road racing...being run by the fey. Great illustrations, lots of action, unique characters, and a fun conclusion. LOVED this one!
If you're coming across this review and haven't heard of Ben Aaronovitch, you need to go & start this series with [b:Rivers of London|9317452|Rivers of London (Rivers of London, #1)|Ben Aaronovitch|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1401385034l/9317452._SY75_.jpg|13552476] (also titled "Midnight Riot"). Fortunately/unfortunately, it's comprised of graphic novels, novellas, and novels. Aaronovitch clearly had more material than would fit in his novels, so he inserted his 'extra' stories using other means, and references them. Decide just to read the novels? You'll wonder about some of the references from the graphic novels. Want to just read the graphic novels? No, no, no. The GOOD news is that it's worth it to read all of them. You can find the overall reading order for all 3 types of stories HERE. Overall, this is a fantastic series & I love them.
