The Secret of Chimneys by

The Secret of Chimneys

A murderous international conspiracy centred on the Chimneys estate provides the backdrop for a thrilling new comic strip adaptation.

Little does Anthony Cade suspect that a simple errand on behalf of a friend will make him the centrepiece of a murderous international conspiracy. Someone will stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia.

The combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete can do no better than go in circles – until the final murder at Chimneys, the great country estate that yields up an amazing secret…

Famed for her crime masterpieces, Agatha Christie’s books have become the best-selling in the world, appealing to readers young and old for their ingenious plots and immediately recognizable characters. The stories have also transcended the printed page, become bestselling audiobooks and award-winning films, plays and television series. Now words and pictures combine in an exciting new way of telling these stories – full-colour graphic novels which enhance the original stories and offer a completely new way of enjoying some of the world’s most popular and exciting mysteries.

I haven’t read this Christie story in its original form. But as a regular reader of a variety of graphic novels, I think they’ve done a fantastic job adapting it for the graphic genre.

It was an entertaining murder mystery. A quick read that followed well. A story of royal impersonation, jewel thievery and murder.

I will going to get my hands on more of these Christie adaptations, asap.
