Giorgio de Chirico. Immagini metafisiche

Qui a tué Roger Ackroyd? [nouvelle édition]

Après avoir lu « La Vérité sur Dix petits nègres » et « L’affaire du chien des Baskerville » (lu en anglais : Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the Baskervilles), je suis définitivement persuadé que la rigueur…

The Eighth Detective
by Alex Pavesi
What eighth detective (or what eight detectives, in the UK edition)? You’ll understand towards the end of this unusual book which mainly consists of 7 stories, which per se are not that bad, so if one would only read the odd chapters fro…

La Vérité sur Dix petits nègres

L’homme de l’année 1989 – 16 – L’inconnu de la place tiananmen

Cette aberration est de la propagande pure. Je sais que cette collection n’est pas censée décrire la réalité, mais au sujet des évènements de Tiananmen, un peu plus de discernement s’imposerait.En admettant qu’il s’agisse d’un massacre…

Tif et Tondu de Blutch et Robber – Mais où est Kiki ? N/B
by Robber
On ne peut nier ni l’effort ni le talent, mais après avoir lu la version en couleurs dans Spirou, cette version noir et blanc, complètement redessinée par rapport à celle en couleurs, ne me satisfait nullement.

The Killings at Kingfisher Hill

I dare say it’s only with the fourth “New Poirot” that Sophie Hannah finally managed to reach a cunningness comparable to that of the Grande Dame of Golden Age’s Crime. The first three attempts were of unequal quality in my view: I rated…
