If you have been reading the novels as well you'll like this
I like the interaction between Peter and Sahra. It is both slightly comical and professional. There is no indication of attraction between them which I'm thankful for.
A more straightforward story than the previous outing in the comic series, but just as strong, this sees Peter teaming up with DC Guleed to investigate an infestation of supernaturally animated black mould. This leads to crooked landlords in London's famously expensive housing market and some casual (and not-so-casual) racism. It's another solid police procedural that allows both Molly and Sahra to kick ass and - even if it's not overly complicated - it takes a few twists along the way. As usual, there are connections to the books, as well as to previous comics in the series, but this one feels more standalone than usual, requiring less prior knowledge to follow, but rewarding the familiarity if you have it.
