Before jumping into the main part of these scribblings, after all you are here to read a review of the story are you not, I want to give a shout out to what a great cover this issue has. I mentioned with last issue’s review that I thought this story had a touch of the old pulps about it, and this issue has a rather fabulous cover that also references that. It’s in the style of the old EC comics of the 1950′s, and is a pitch perfect imitation. Not that I need a reason to love this book more, but this certainly doesn’t hurt. By now most of you will know what is going on, but for those that came in late, Nightingale and friend Angus Strallen have been pitting wits against a magic...

I loved the first issue of the new story arc that we saw last time round. Ticked quite a few boxes for me. We got some period adventure, which is always nice. We learnt something new, again, very nice. Some spotlight time on Inspector Nightingale, which is long overdue. And a very good storyline, which of course for Rivers of London is what we expect for a minimum. That storyline, if you need your memory jogged at all, went back to a wartime friendship, a present day funeral, and a serial killer case in the 1950′s. A wartime friend, Angus Strallen, had approached Nightingale to help capture Professor Uwe Fischer. Not only was he a serial killer, he seemed to be using dark magic too.
So, a story about a serial killer of young women, all a bit...
