Commissaire Kouamé : Un Si Joli Jardin by Abouet and Mary
Abouet's Aya de Youpougon series of graphic novels is a favourite of mine, and so I decided to try another series by her, Commissaire Kouamé, also set in Ivory Coast but rougher around the edges and focused on some police investigation. It's clearly much more of a dark comedy than Aya is, less serious and more provocative, but I quite enjoyed it. It's not the mystery that I enjoyed as much as the acerbic way in which the story depicts the police and politics of Abidjan.
