Bury the Lede: 01/08/22

Bury the Lede by Gaby Dunn is a graphic novel about a newspaper intern learning the ropes from an award winning reporter. Together they break a huge story that cuts at the heart of corruption in Boston.

At the heart of it, Bury the Lede is a mystery. A woman is in jail accused of killing her husband and son. The son's body, though, hasn't been found. Madison doesn't believe the wife did it and sets out to discover who did.

As this is also a story about how newspapers work, the focus is narrow, sticking to what a reporter can do within their bounds. That includes the rocky relationship between intern and mentor.

The book is a standalone but I would definitely read another volume — another mystery — if one were published.

Four stars
