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 while 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.

Review of 'Death in the Clouds' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This story is one of my favourites. Poirot takes a flight, and unfortunately wakes up to find that an older woman was murdered some seats behind him. The murdered woman turns out to be a moneylender, who has many enemies and holds embarrassing secrets of her clients. Poirot then proceeds to help the investigation of Scotland Yard's Inspector Japp. This book has its funny moments, such as learning that someone once mistook Poirot for a hairdresser, or just reading the lines of Mr. Clancy - a detective novelist. All in all, I enjoy this story very much and I know I will keep re-reading it.
