Description
Jordi Lafebre’s latest graphic novel is a romp! Equal parts comedy and murder mystery. With a charming female lead that reminded me of Ronnie del Carmen’s character Nina.
Eva, a brilliant young psychiatrist, is reluctant to be analyzed by Dr. Llull, but she has no choice if she wants to get her license back. So she tells him everything–little by little, we piece together Evas story, of the week she spent trying to solve a mysterious murder case, and appreciate her ability to deal with lies and dangerous situations as well as the suspicions of the police.
From the publisher:
A few days ago, Eva was called in by one of her patients, Penelope, to accompany her to the reading of her grandmother’s will.
The eccentric psychologist quickly discovers the heavy secrets that weigh on the wine estate. And for good reason: finding out about people is her business.
While Eva is staying at the estate, a family member is murdered. Suspicions quickly turn to Eva, who will need to investigate to prove her innocence.
After the poetic Always Never, Jordi Lafebre gives us, with embedded stories and colorful personalities, a luminous graphic novel, with a resolutely modern rhythm and a light tone imbued with humor. A story mixing comedy and thriller.
