From AudioFile

A French woman dies in mid-air on a plane crossing the English Channel. A poison dart indicates murder. That she was notably ugly provides a clue, albeit a cryptic one. Fortunately for justice, the famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot happens to be aboard. In fact, evidence points to him as the perpetrator. This short BBC Radio 4 dramatization is thoroughly professional and a lot of fun. Further, it has the welcome "house sound" of the Beeb's radio plays--pristine, lightly layered, and clear. Fussy listeners may grumble that the production is a bit bland compared to Dame Agatha's original, but overall this gets high marks for enjoyment.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Hercule Poirot Gets Angry, Juil 7 2004
This review is from: Death In The Clouds (Paperback)
... might have been the better title, but I wasn't there when she decided on the title. Oh well.

Air travel in its infancy was neither a preferred nor a classy mode of transportation. The infamous air-sickness was the major drawback of airplanes in the 1930s. But Poirot, desperate to go back to London, had no other choice, and had to board an airplane. All was well, except for a major air sickness in Poirot's part. When they touched down in London they realised that one of their passengers had died during the flight, and much to Poirot's anger, sat a few seats from him!

Agatha Christie was fine here, playing with Poirot's sense of pride that a murder had occured under his own nose and could have done nothing to stop it. And he had a premonition that another murder will happen unless he could unmask this killer...

Told with her usual wry humour, the solution won't make you jump in your seat, but rather you'll be, like, "Oh, so that's why it happens." You'll enjoy watching Poirot gets angry.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful Premise, Odd Conclusion, Juil 2 2004
Par Ricky Hunter (New York City, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Death In The Clouds (Paperback)
Agatha Christie was perhaps a little too clever in creating the premise for Death in the Clouds. A woman is killed in a plane with eleven other passengers and stewards around her and let us just say that a wasp, a blowpipe, a dart, and snake venom are all involved. It is an impossible crime (I know this because one character or another says so, frequently) and quite an intriquing one. Sadly, the conclusion does not live up to the anticipation and Hastings abscence as narrator is sorely missed. It is always a joy, though, to read Poirot regardless and the book is crammed with many red herrings and a little more romance than usual. Not top drawer Christie but still a minor pleasure.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sudden Twist, Avril 4 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Death In The Clouds (Paperback)
A murder on an aircraft? Right, and within just a few feet of detective Hercule Poirot! I haven't read many books by Christie, but I knew this was going to be a good one...
And it was. It goes through a female passenger being murdered on a aircraft from Le Pinet, under everyone's noses unnoticed. Poirot is air-sick on the plane and is called upon the investigation. The mystery unfolds page by page, introducing new characters--suspects-- chapter by chapter. There were many varius suspects, and they never narrow down. There was a bit of a twist in the last few chapters of the story, well, for Poirot and another in the last chapter for the readers, yet it makes sense and draws in a nice ending. This is a definite page turner and a great read when you think you're bored, because with Christie's mysteries, you never know what's going to happen.
