Agatha Christie - And then there were none - a graphic novel review


It may have been years, decades maybe, since I read this book from Agatha Christie, but this good story has always stayed with me.
Ten people are invited to stay for a while on an Island. While their host is strikingly absent, they find out that everyone has something to hide. When they are killed one by one it is important to find out who is the murderer before everyone is killed. This does not seem to be such a simple job, and fear fails to die one by one, as in the children's rhyme is mentioned.

François Rivière has transformed the story into a comic strip. He takes the outline and knows how to keep the tension in the story.

Frank Leclercq drawings are good, although I do not think the cover is so beautiful, the content is beautifully drawn. Striking is the coloring, by displaying the intense atmosphere in some shades, he knows how to strengthen the story line.

Nice album.
