Death in the Clouds - 1935 *** 1/2


Unlike the majority of the reviewers of this book I actually found it a bit slow during the middle. The pace at the beginning was wonderful, and the ending was superb but the middle was too fluid. Poirot is right in the centre of the action, taking a plane back from Paris with a group of other people. During the journey, one of the people is murdered on the plane in her seat (a wealthy old woman no less) but the problem is no one has actually seen the culprit, or the murder taking place.
Poirot's grey matter is working overtime to solve this case, as usual never knowing who to trust.
