Aïe, fait pas bon vieillir...

2 stars

Un grand classique qui a mal vieilli. La mécanique de l'intrigue, toujours aussi formidable, n'est pas en cause, mais les dialogues, les conventions sociales, les allusions coloniales ou racistes, un n word, aujourd'hui ça ne passe plus. J'avais déjà ressenti ce malaise avec "Meurtre en Mésopotamie". Les romans "exotiques" de Christie ont décidément du plomb dans l'aile...
