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.

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

My Mum and I listened to this together in a car journey to and from my brother's house. On arrival, half way through, we couldn't stop talking about who we thought had done it and why it couldn't be this person or that. It really made the journey enjoyable.

I love Christie's books, not only because they're genuinely good mysteries but because you experience what life was like at the time of writing. This explores the jet set of 1935 but still remains relatable, thanks to one of the passengers having won enough money to take a one off holiday. People often wrongly assume Christie's books are solely set amongst the upper classes but as usual, her suspects are from every class & encompass different nationalities. Characters remain believable whilst humorous, brought vividly to life by the unsurpassable Hugh Fraser. There's also a spot of romance!

Another marvellous mystery to keep you guessing

Another excellent, exciting mystery featuring our beloved Poirot. A good, solid narration. Indeed, an Agatha Christie could never be anything less than a 5-star experience.

This is the first Agatha Christie I ever listened to way back as a child on a long car journey with the family. I must say it's one of my favourites, the story, the red herrings, the humour... a must listen for all fans
