Unfortunately, these pieces ever coalesce, the whole thing is a bit of a mess. So, there are a lot of factors in play behind the scenes of Troublemaker. Jones is credited as the artist, but Ben Dewey did what looks like a lot of legwork to earn a credit for “background pencils.” Well, that’s not entirely true it’s the first half of the third story in a series.The art is by Joëlle Jones … kinda. Though it is Evanovich’s first graphic novel, Troublemaker is actually the third book in a series, following the Barnaby and Hooker books Motor Mouth and Metro Girl. The author has collaborated before, but often writes as a sole author – this graphic novel script was her first fiction writing with her daughter Alex. The book is the first work in comics by Evanovich, an established and well-loved novelist. ©2004 Janet Evanovich (P)2004 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.Janet Evanovich’s Troublemaker is a strange graphic novel for a whole bunch of reasons.
