Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC of Bury the Lede that I received in exchange for a fair and honest review.

First, full disclosure: I have probably read somewhere around ten graphic novels in my entire life. I am not really an expert on them as a medium. Having said that, I do know thrillers.

Bury the Lead is a graphic crime noir novel. It has a gritty, dark feel that stays true to the conventions of crime noir. The plot line is well executed and I didn’t notice any blatant plot holes or anything that made the text feel unrealistic. It felt pretty organized and well developed.

In terms of what I didn’t necessarily love. . . Well, it’s part of not getting graphic novels. I’m not really sure if this is just the norm because it seems to be my constant complaint with that kind of text, but I just never feel satisfied at the end. This one was no different. Yes, the plot tied up well. Yes, it was a decent storyline. I just missed detailed. I wanted more of everything. I wanted more answers, more movement, more character development. I don’t know. Maybe this is a me problem, but for me it just wasn’t the best.

This review is on Goodreads.

I'm super new at graphic novels, so I don't have a very informed opinion. Not sure that graphic novels are my cup of tea... That being said, I was living for the queer characters!
