icthusbookcorner's review
2.0
My thanks to NetGalley and Europe Comics for a review copy of this book.
This book was ok, but that it. I enjoyed the mystery element of this story and the illustrations were satisfactory but besides that, I don't think there is much more to this comic book.
The main character is supposed to be an independent woman (which doesn't sound very 30's to me but I'd be okay with that) however she does not come across like that at all. Renée spends a big chunk of the novel lusting over one of the male characters and most of the time she waits for them to decide what to do, I would be okay (mind the book is set during the 30s) if this if she wasn't described as "modern for her time" type of woman. For me, the lack of a tied up conclusion didn't really suit the story.
