[Iranoctis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ich hatte mir nach der ersten Ausgabe zwar gewünscht, dass mehr persönliche Hintergründe sichtbar werden, aber die Erzählung wird mir ein bisschen zu "messy". Sprünge, lose Enden - am Ende alles vor allem aufgrund der Zeichnungen atmosphärisch stimmig, aber trotzdem auch ein bisschen anstrengend und daher enttäuschend.

Miss and Slim take a job to kill a rich guy on a boat, but as usual kill anyone else who irritates them too. A certain amount of affection introductes itelf into their relationship. Like the first book, it looks amazing, the art and colours utter perfection.

Not particularly fond of the artwork, but it is a good crime story.
