A good follow-up to the first volume - better in some ways (it's a little less plot driven, and takes a little more time to explore the characters). Set in a Parisian brothel, but this isn't soft Europorn as I had thought it might be. It has something of a social conscience, and - like the first volume - while much of it reads like an adventure romp it still retains a steely edge to keep you anchored.

Slightly disappointed that this one is less of a whodunit. The mother plotline made me rageful. Still very readable and well-executed. I'm sorry this seems to be the end.

What the hell was that ending???? I’m so bummed because although the tone was very different from volume one and it wasn’t another whodunit, I was still really enjoying this volume. The pacing was good and we got more from one of my favorite characters, Miss Jo, but the total trash ending ruined it for me. It wasn’t so much the lack of happy ending, it was Blanche’s attitude (about a certain turn of events) towards the end that made all sympathy I had for her troubled life dissipate. Enjoyed most the way through, but ultimately left disappointed.

This French comic maintains a light, comedic tone while dealing with heavy violence, forced prostitution, and a lobotomy as an attempt to cure homosexuality. At times it really works.
