Miss Don't Touch Me, by Hubert, ill by Kerascoet, 192 pages
This is a graphic novel for mature readers, as the plot would suggest. What looks like serial murders are taking place around Paris, and when one of the murdered is Blanche's own sister, she sets out for revenge. This takes her into a high class brothel, where she poses undercover as a dominatrix by the name of "Miss Don't Touch Me." The first half of the book is a bit of a mystery, while the second half goes in a bit of a weird direction that's kind of a downer. The art is beautiful, though, and since the setting is jazzy 1920s Paris, the details and story are very entrancing.
