Also published as Death in the Air, Originally published in 1935. Features Hercule Poirot and Inspector Japp.

High-flying mystery and suspense via Christie and Poirot! Aboard a plane, a woman dies in her seat, apparently the victim of a wasp sting. Then, a venom-tipped dart from a South American blowgun is found in the aisle. Everyone is suspect, including Hercule Poirot, who was sitting a mere fifteen feet from the victim. Poirot finds closer ties between some of the passengers on the plane than they would admit, but who could have wanted the woman dead? He must find the real murderer and the truth of the case, if only to clear his own name.

This book was a book of the month in August 2012. Here is a link to that thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Read this four years ago, not sure I’ll be able to manage a reread this month.

For some reason I didn't mark this as read in my Goodreads list, but I did just read it in July. It was fun to compare it to the television version. Book version was better, of course, because more details. Not one of my favorites, but one of the memorable ones, so not so good on reread. It is fun to spot the clues when you know what happened.

By some fantastic coincidence, I actually just finished reading this book, not even realizing it was book of the month for this group! It was my first time reading it, and I really enjoyed it. A good old Poirot classic!

I read this one last June so I won’t be reread it. I love the story and characters. I also really enjoyed the way it is a closed circuit mystery with only a limited number of people as the killer.

Finished this one last night. I enjoyed the premise of the story and all the various possibilities. I was sure that (view spoiler)[Jane Grey would be the daughter and never thought she would be the maid (hide spoiler)]. So much for my guessing abilities.
