Publisher Description

A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of an Agatha Christie story. On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which Hercule Poirot is an apprehensive passenger, a woman is found dead. A doctor on board is inclined to put it down to a wasp-sting, but Poirot suspects that a poisoned dart is the real cause - and, perhaps rather too conveniently, a blow pipe is discovered stuffed down the back of his seat.

Clearly, the murder can only have been committed by one of the passengers or crew on the plane. But which one? Poirot, Japp, and M. Fournier of the Surete will make their way through shoals of red herrings before reaching an utterly unexpected conclusion.

"A notoriously ruthless French money-lender is murdered in a crowded aeroplane cabin by an arrow dipped in South African snake venom, and no one saw or heard a thing! Only the fantastic Hercule Poirot could possible solve a mystery as bizzare as this! "

    " I'm pretty sure I've read every novel and short story that Agatha Christie wrote and this is one of my favourites. A tightly plotted book, it's the ultimate in closed-room mysteries. "

    " Yet again, Agatha Christie kept my "little grey cells" going with Death in the Air. I did not exactly hit bullseye in my attempt to solve the murder mystery, but came very close with my thoughts on the blowdart and the wasp. "

    " This particular Poirot was very entertaining. Again, Christie almost causes the reader to befriend the criminal without knowing whom that might be. It's the only one of the Poirot murders to take place on a plane, as well. "

    " I have this book under the title of "Death in the Air". "Death in the Clouds" was the American title of this book, while "Air" was the British title. Quite a number of Dame Agatha's books had different British and American titles, which can make it confusing if you are trying to read ALL her books. "
