Death in the Clouds

Hercule Poirot investigates a murder high in the sky.

On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which the Belgian sleuth 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 it's a case of murder...

First published in 1935, Agatha Christie's whodunnit stars John Moffatt as Hercule.
