Death in the Clouds

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

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.

Critic reviews

"It will be a very acute reader who does not receive a complete surprise at the end." (Times Literary Supplement)

Most interesting. The psychological analysis was k

the psychological analysis was the key to the crime. I reread it twice to follow the clues left by Monsieur Poirot.

Narrator

This is one of the hedt narrations I've heard. He made me want to hear more of him, and more of the author.
