Effroyable printemps
Le printemps, avec ses giboulées soudaines, ses prairies en fleurs et ses odeurs inégalables, pousse même les plus casaniers à sortir d’un pas plein d’entrain profiter des merveilles de la nature que l’hiver avait savamment éclipsées. Mais l’insouciant pèlerin ferait mieux de se méfier, car le crime aussi rôde, revigoré par tant de mortelles possibilités. Quand s’en vient le renouveau, mieux vaut s’assurer l’amitié d’un brillant détective… Un recueil incontournable pour tous les amateurs de cosy mystery, qui rassemble les plus brillants enquêteurs de la reine du crime : d’Hercule Poirot à Miss Marple, sans oublier les plus atypiques, tels que le futé Parker Pyne ou le mystérieux Harley Quinn.Traductions entièrement révisées

J’ai adoré Effroyable printemps. Ce recueil de nouvelles est un pur régal : chaque histoire est captivante, bien ficelée et délicieusement machiavélique, comme seule Agatha Christie sait les concocter. Je les ai toutes dévorées, une par une, impossible de m’arrêter !
Petit bémol tout de même : certaines remarques sexistes font un peu grincer des dents aujourd’hui. Mais bon, il faut replacer ça dans son contexte historique… et se concentrer sur l’essentiel : le talent indéniable de la reine du crime.
Bref, un recueil à lire sans modération pour les amateurs de mystères brillamment ciselés ! 🔎✨
