Publisher Description
A woman is killed by a poisoned dart in the enclosed confines of a commercial passenger plane. Flying from Paris to London.
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.
How could this happen with the world's No. 1 private detective on board?

Find a Different Copy…
2 big reasons for my rating:
1. This edition is LITTERED with transcription errors, formatting errors (random paragraph breaks in the middle of sentences), and errors displaying many of the characters with accent marks, which are frequent in Christie novels.
2. Just not the most compelling Christie story. Not terrible, the story is overall probably a 3-3.5 star story, but honestly this edition was so annoying to read it made one of my favorite authors feel like a chore.
I implore you, please invest in a better copy, even if it’s a little pricier, because here, you definitely get what you pay for.
