A quick wrap up to our mystery which was a little disappointing in it's bracing pace; I would happily linger with these amateur detectives through several volumes! Again, the artist's style is pleasing and the humor remains intact and a little inside baseball (although I'm not sure what non-Golden Age fan or reader at least familiar with these authors and their styles would be drawn to this). I'd only like it to be longer!

As we continue the story of the Detection Club, we finally get an answer to the whole mystery. Is it satisfying? A bit. But I feel like it lacks something to make the story better. The story is predictable. The way the authors argued about who the culprit is is quite annoying and it feels like a filler to make the story longer though I think it could be compiled in 1 volume rather than 2.

Having read The Detection Club Part 1 which I didn't like I went into this one with my mind open hoping that the second instalment of the series I would like but I really do think that me and graphic novels/comics really just don't work.
The art style was amazing and I enjoyed the premise of the story and wanted to love it but I just didn't.

On paper "The Detection Club" had all the ingredients to be a hit with me. Sadly, it was a bit of a miss. While I found the premise quite interesting, with a nod to one of my all time favorite novels, "And then there were none", the actual plot was a bit weak and not developed enough (those small paragraphs of text here and there were greatly appreciated). I understand this is graphic novel with just around a hundred pages, so not all characters can have the same weight in the story, but some of the club members were mere spectators, centering the investigation in Agatha Christie and G.K. Chesterton. This pairing worked pretty well with some witty dialogue and retorts. The art was quite nice.

The Conclusion to the mystery from vol 1 did not disappoint me.
Again the art style in this one is really cute I am in love with it. I really have no complaints about this one other than the fact that it was way too short and basically did nothing but resolve the mystery.
I finally found out who the narrator was and was not bothered by his narration in this one. So I pretty much got everything I wanted.
I do not understand why was this story separated into two volumes. It is pointless. It's as if it was separated only to have a cliffhanger at the end of volume 1. I mean it was short enough to be one book.
I still recommend this. It's short but fun.
