“Homicide: The Graphic Novel, Part One” by Philippe Squarzoni (4 stars)
Here’s how we got here: I run a True Crime Book Club, so I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to represent the subject matter. We’ve read interpretations, watched documentaries, and researched the typical true crime literature. Someone on a message board suggested this graphic novel (which is broken into two parts, but we’ll get to that later). Intriguing that I’d never heard of a graphic novel rendition of a true crime book. Apparently there are a few and I’m looking forward to giving a few of them a try with the club in the future. I figured I’d give this one a try since it came so highly recommended. So I ordered a copy from my public library and away I went.
