In the span of the first dozen pages (give or take a few), we meet four detectives in four different decades all in London. All of these detectives have one thing in common: they’ve stumbled upon the exact same body of a victim in the exact same location in each of their respective time periods. Their mission is to solve this case, but they unearth a plot much larger than they could possibly imagine.

This graphic novel inspired a TV show of the same name and to be quite honest, I preferred the TV show. I was hoping the graphic novelization would expand on the story, but I thought it lacked a lot of the character development and intrigue that I loved in the TV series. There were a lot of changes made from page to screen, and I think they helped me appreciate the characters (whether I loved them or hated to love them) and the underlying bigger plotline a lot more. Most of the plots in each storyline were simple to follow in the graphic novel, but the end was extremely confusing, and I was left wondering if I’d experienced a happy or sad ending. Altogether, I found it unsatisfying, though the art was brilliant and the concept was really cool! I would only recommend this as extra reading to those who have watched the TV show and are interested in checking out the source material and some additional lore. Newly interested folks: check out the Netflix series.
