Rivers of London: Water Weed is the sixth collected volume of the Rivers of London comic book taking place between The Hanging Tree and Lies Sleeping. This volume comprises of four issues of the comic book.
After two of the less well-behaved River goddesses, Chelsea and Olympia, decide to "tax" a drugs mule using the Thames as a highway, Peter Grant and Beverley Brook find themselves drawn into a cannabis smuggling operation with weird magical connotations.
While I liked the story I found the sexualisation of the younger goddesses a bit off putting and the sex scene was just unnecessary. That being said the "police procedural" aspects of the story were as good as any you'll see on TV with and interesting and unexpected antagonist.
If you can look past the parts mentioned this is a good story but I'm afraid they're there and pretty in your face.
