Where The Body Was by Ed Brubaker
3.0

This team always get me hyped for a book. Love criminal, but everything they do is either great, amazing, or atleast good.

I think sadly where the body was falls into the last for me.

It's really just a slice of life of this small little town with some pieces of shit people, but also multilayered people since no one is just "good" or "bad". I think the idea of this book is good but the characters, all of them, fall a little flat in the end. I didn't get attached to a single one which kind of surprise me. I did enjoy the overall plot but it also felt a bit aimless. This book wasn't as strong as their previous work. The art though, as always, remained pretty strong throughout.

A 3 out of 5. Thanks Netgalley for the advance review!
