Our take

AI-drafted

Ferris closes out the story she began in her celebrated 2017 debut, following Karen Reyes as she keeps investigating her neighbor's death in 1960s Chicago, rendered entirely in ballpoint pen on lined notebook paper. The color work in particular has drawn attention as a leap from the first volume, giving the book a more haunting and controlled visual register.
