Like a good brie, you feel Hermelin will only improve with age.
Grey's work is intricate and stylish, the images often as wordy as the narrative itself.
Grey's pictures are nostalgic, comic, decorative and dramatically composed, and invite budding detectives to pay attention.
It's rare to find such a talented illustrator who can tell a gripping, original tale so effortlessly.
Fans of Grey's work will once again relish the hectic pace of her storytelling, its humour, its intertextual allusions, its typographical playfulness and its general layout.
