Relation In Favor Of Books Death in the Clouds (Hercule Poirot Mysteries #12)

A woman is killed by a poisoned dart in the enclosed confines of a commercial passenger plane…

From seat No.9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No.13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.

What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No.2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman.

Judge Regarding Books Death in the Clouds (Hercule Poirot Mysteries #12)

Not the best of Christie's mysteries, and some truly appalling casual racism that threw me out of the story as a modern reader. Blah blah context, I know, but the characters themselves were detestable. I quote this as an example as the two romantic protagonists get to know each other over dinner:They liked dogs and disliked cats. They both hated oysters and loved smoked salmon. They liked Greta Garbo and disliked Katherine Hepburn. They didn't like fat women and admired really jet-black hair.

Hercule Poirot at his best. A gripping who dun it high in the air drama. The only case where Jury actually convicts Poirot of murder before their opinion is not upheld.For a change we see Poirot moving around looking for clues rather than solving the case from the comforts of his chair. Interesting read

Such a fun read! Intense and unexpected as always. The book is about a murder on a plane, eleven suspects including Hercule Poirot and lots of twists and turns. The characters were absolutely amazing and enjoyable. The telling of the investigation/crime was fascinating to read. Death in the Clouds is an excellent mystery/crime novel with a touch of romance, drama and a pinch of humor.I love Agatha Christie books so much.

During my time making my way through all these Poirot novels, it is strange how often Ive encountered that ones that dont seem particularly interesting to me from the brief plot description on the back end up being some of the better books. This and Lord Edgware Dies are two excellent examples of that. I enjoy most of Christies novels in general, but this one is shockingly fun.It is important to remember that though Christie wrote several, what we might call clichéd books, they were not so

Not my favorite Christie, but fun all the same.Of note: Since I first added this book to my TBR in 2008 (thanks, Goodreads!), I have developed a rather bad fear of flying, so this book (in which one passenger is murdered by another) was like, one nightmare scenario on top of another for me. Add wasps (FUCKING WASPS USELESS DEVIL BUGS) in to the mix and why dont you just kill me already.This is a Poirot mystery, and a later one at that. I have tried in vain to read all the Poirot books in order,

Death in the Clouds is the twelfth book by Agatha Christie to feature perhaps our favourite retired detective, Monsieur Hercule Poirot. His great friend and companion Captain Hastings is also in this novel, and along with a French policeman, Monsieur Fournier, they make an effective trio. The novel was actually first published in the United States in March 1935, under the different title of Death in the Air. Perhaps it was thought that this was more evocative of the exciting new mode of travel,

Not one of Agatha Christie's best novels but enjoyable nonetheless. The usual formula ... a murder and a small group of suspects. What makes this story unusual is the setting. During a flight from Paris to Croydon a passenger is found dead. Apparently the victim of a poison dart from a blowgun. No one saw anything. Not even Poirot who was sleeping. This is 1935 and there were only a few passengers in the section of the plane where the murder took place. But how could someone shoot a poison dart
