I love a Christie thriller.

What could go wrong with a comic adaptation of Agatha Christie's murder mystery?
The answer would probably be: nothing.
Especially when the characters or some scenes were drawn with dramatic references to other pop culture icons. A distant aunt that looks like Meryl Streep. A blonde, devilishly smart woman which bore similarities with Sharon Stone's character in "Basic Instinct". And the male protagonist which final pose resembled Richard Gere's famous pose for "American Gigolo" official poster.
I never read the original novel version. Can't remember why. That's why this comic book adaptation was the first of its series I bought and read. Quite interesting, though. And one should applaud its twist.

Graphic novel version of this standalone thriller from the Queen of Crime. Very quick read but lacking in the atmosphere of the original

4 Stars!
I can't wait to read the full adaptation!
I must say I was very intrigued!
Such diabolical stuff! Clever, smart people though!
Possibly one of the best, if not the best Agatha Cristie books I've ever read. Considering it was written towards the end of the career she didn't fail to suprise audiences of the time, or me and the audiences of my time I am sure. I had no idea of what would happen, especially if there would be murder most foul like in her other crime novels. I didn't think there would be murder and who the murderer turned out to be shocked me, but I guess I should of seen it coming. I was dumbstruck like I was to Sara Shepard's sequel to The Pefectionists: The Good Girls. But if you look closely, you may be able to piece it together. The ending confused me as well as the start with the Gypsy of Mrs Lee and how Rudolf Santonix figured it out. Did she know of the plan already after HE told her or did she piece it together and therefore try to warn HER. What was her death? Another murder by the person whom murdered Ellie? Or was it the work of the OTHER HER. It left me baffled and there were a few loose ends. Like, how does the title or the poem by William Blake: Auguries of Innocence fit in with the story and the final declaration by Michael Roger (the snitch). Was he put in prison? What was his Endless Night, what does it mean when he proclaims Ellie ( Fenella Guteman) was born to Sweet Delight and he to Endless Night? Explanations please!
It was very addictive! I couldn't really put it down without having it in the back of my mind. My brain did get tired but I was always thinking of it, the wisp was there. It only took me about 2 hours to read, with breaks in between. I found the characters to be very obnoxious though, the mains ones anyway, especially Mike and I had firm reason to! You couldn't trust him, not Uncle Frank or Cora. They were more trustworthy than him I think, though clearly selfish. Or maybe Ellie was telling the truth? Perhaps she just didn't get on with her stepmother but she did her dad, otherwise why else would he leave the fortune to her and not his 2nd wife? So many questions! I feel sorry for how the characters died because of one man's selfishness. Santonix seemed to die a painful death too. What would become of Mike? Anyone know..........?
There are definitely gaps in this graphic novel which is why I may have so many questions. Reading the actual novel should clear things up a bit I reckon, as I understand graphic novels have to cut stuff out ( that is apparently unimportant). I am sure I'll like it as much!

Michael Rogers and Ellie Goodman meet at an old ruins rumored to be cursed. The two fall in love, marry, purchase the property, and build a grand new home on the land where they met scoffing at the rumors of the curse. But everything is not perfect in paradise.
I've seen a movie adaptation of this Christie and so I knew what was coming, but even so, it is still one of Christie's most shocking and diabolical twists in her mysteries. This graphic novel adaptation is able to convey all the shock of the real story. That said, it is not a very happy tale and features one of the most conniving of Christie's killers. A testament to Christie's skill, though not a "fun" read.
Notes on content: Two or three mild swear words. No sexual content beyond a kiss. Two fatalities on page, neither of which is bloody.

Aku suka versi novelnya, tapi (imho^^) di adaptasi komiknya ini kerasa garing dan hambar~ mungkin terutama karena ekspresi karakter-2nya keliatan datar — ga jelas apa lagi marah, senang, khawatir, dll~
Dan mungkin sulit juga meringkas novel jadi komik(?)
Jadinya malah kelewat ringkas dan ga jelas motif pembunuhannya, kisah masa lalunya, dsb (^ ^;)

Great illustrations capture a feel of Christie's time, and while I felt it may have been a bit too abridged (I haven't read this novel so don't know if the abruptness of the ending was faithful to the original or particular to the comic book adaptation) it was fast- and well-paced.

Adaptasi dari cerita Agatha Christie. Menurut saya kurang tergambarkan dengan baik di sini. Ketegangan dan suasana misterius tidak tertangkap lewat adaptasi ini.

I admit it. I read these Christie graphic novels for the cover designs. At least I understand now why this one was in the bargain bin.

much better graphic than Ordeal by Innocence. story a bit abrupt. could have added more graphic on the part how great taking over their lives.
