What Members Thought
A fine mystery featuring Hercule Poirot and a confounding murder on a plane in plain sight of the passengers including Poirot. But more importantly, just know that this Kindle Unlimited edition has a fair number of irritating transposed passages & word usage errors (see my Kindle Notes for some examples). Choose another edition and save yourself the bother.
Hercule Poirot finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation when a murder takes place almost under his nose on a flight from Paris to Croydon. Unfortunately because he suffers from travel sickness he was asleep for most of the flight. In the confined space of a commercial airliner in the 1930s, the number of suspects is limited but the police of both France and England fins themselves puzzled for quite a long time.

Death in the Clouds, as narrated by Hugh Fraser (aka Captain Hastings), is lots of fun. Of course, I had no idea who the murderer was, and honestly, Poirot's intuition bordered on unbelievable. I do think this is one of Agatha Christie's best novels, primarily because of the unusual setting.

I don't have much to say about this one other than that I enjoyed the mystery and enjoyed Poirot's interactions with Miss Grey.
For all the things that make the story memorable, this is the third time I have read the story and still could not remember who the villain of the piece was. So, the actual motive and murderer are less memorable than the circumstances of the crime. ...more

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate the Poirot books so much more now than when I first read them. I find him a very comforting detective, much more so than Miss Marple (though I used to love her books the best).
This was a good mystery with some humour and match making too.
