Une chasse à l’assassin ! Quelle merveilleuse idée pour égayer la fête au village. Et quel meilleur consultant en la matière que le célèbre Hercule Poirot. La romancière Ariadne Oliver, a un mauvais pressentiment... Quand la « fausse victime » de cet innocent divertissement est retrouvée assassinée. Une chose est sûre, le criminel n’échappera pas aux redoutables cellules grises du plus célèbre des détectives !
This is really one of my favourites, an enormous pleasure to read and re-read for the Agatha Christie fan I am. Excellent staging of the plot (not easy at all), captivating images and very nice colours. A masterpiece, way better than most other volumes in this series, e.g. those by Rivière which are an insult to the genius of Agatha Christie. One would wish that Marek would return to producing comic strip editions of Agatha Christie's novels, his are the best, and amongst his, this is perhaps the very best. I am glad that his Rendez-vous avec la mort has been reedited this year with Paquet (although I do not like the new colouring very much), and I hope new editions of his other four adaptations of Agatha Christie novels will follow as they are almost unavailable and go for crazy prices.
