✦ Synopsis
En cette belle matinée de 1934, Hercule Poirot, retiré des affaires,
savoure son petit déjeuner dans son appartement de Mayfair... Mais,
lorsque sir Claude Amory appelle au secours le détective, le chocolat
crémeux et la brioche dorée ne sont plus qu'un lointain souvenir. Les
recherches de ce célèbre savant atomiste suscitent bien des convoitises,
y compris dans sa propre maisonnée... Première pièce de théâtre
d'Agatha Christie, Black Coffee contient déjà les ingrédients qui feront
le charme de ses Œuvres : manoir dans la campagne anglaise, savant en
danger, huis clos oppressant et, surtout, détective aux moustaches
inoubliables et aux petites cellules grises mythiques... Charles
Osborne, biographe et fin connaisseur de la reine du crime, a su
transposer Black Coffee de la scène au roman avec élégance et sans rien
lui faire perdre de ses qualités essentielles : mystère, dynamisme et,
bien sûr, un humour très british !
