The detection club by Jean Harambat
3.0
A light, quick read with bits of hilarious humor.
The Detection Club is not the most brilliant mystery I've read, but many details make it worth the read. Take how funny it is that Knox's commandments are completely destroyed through the story, how Chesterton's athleticism is highlighted, Carr's obsession with maps, and how everyone ignores him. Agatha Christie is forever my fav.
The start was slow (around 50% of the piece) and some characters were annoying (i.e.: the billionaire, whose name I don't even care to remember). It's also a shame that we didn't get to see more of the detective's dynamics.
The drawings are nice, just what you would expect from a comical spun to a historical mystery fiction.
I read it in about half an hour and couldn't believe its conclusion: a cliffhanger!! I want to find out what has happened, but grabbing the second part is not one of my priorities.
