I didn't find this short graphic novel particulary interesting. The illustrations were just ok and because it was so short, the lack of detail made it seem bland and rushed. I'm sure the regular Agatha Christie novel would make for a better read.
micrummey's review against another edition
3.0
An adaption of the Agatha Christie novel this graphic novel is told from the point of view of Nurse Amy Leatheran who is recruited to an archaeological dig in Mesopotamia, to look after Mrs Leidner the wife of the leader of the dig.
Mrs Leidner is murdered and with one of those amazing Christie coincidences Porot just so happens to be relatively near by in Syria.
The light colours used in the scenes works well and the illustrator Chandre does well in the flashback scenes in using a sepia tone.
At only 45 pages not a long read but passes an engaging hour.
