Death in the Clouds

When an airplane steward finds a dead woman shortly after takeoff, Hercule Poirot, aboard the same flight, discovers a poison dart pushed behind his seat. Instead of being stung by a wasp, the woman has been murdered, and Poirot becomes the suspect. David Timson skillfully portrays diverse multinational characters and excels in bringing Poirot and his clever antics to life as he unravels the web of deceit surrounding the dead woman. Timson smoothly switches genders while maintaining pace and the integrity of characters. Agatha Christie fans will be hard-pressed to identify the killer until Poirot reveals his name. G.D.W.
