My third or fourth Poirot mystery, and I'm truly enjoying them. This one was a fun puzzle with interesting characters, and I'm growing very fond of Poirot. I'd quibble that I don't think sufficient clues were given to the reader to figure out whodunnit, and the whole matchmaking thing was a little w...

Christie is always such a comfort read for me. I love starting one of her mysteries and slipping into an almost hypnotic rhythm of gathering and analyzing clues. It's like sitting down to a jigsaw puzzle on a rainy afternoon. This was a new one for me, and for the most part I loved it. Because the...

I don't have much to say about this one other than that I enjoyed the mystery and enjoyed Poirot's interactions with Miss Grey. For all the things that make the story memorable, this is the third time I have read the story and still could not remember who the villain of the piece was. So, the actua...

A woman is killed by a poisoned dart in the enclosed confines of a commercial passenger plane... 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 C...

Series: Poirot # 12 This was a weird little mystery, partly because it's 1935 and Hercule Poirot is flying on an commercial airliner or aeroplane. It was also interesting to read about a commercial flight from back then and how the plane was arranged. I was initially a little confused because the ...

Not too much to say about this one besides the fact I really enjoyed it. On a flight we have Poirot on the scene when a woman is found dead before the end of the flight. At first it appears that a wasp has stung her, but looking closer it appears someone has killed her with a dart. With a plane ...

In this installment of Dame Christie's fantastic mystery novels featuring private investigator Hercule Poirot, we find ourselves with M. Poirot on a flight across the English Channel where a murder occurs mid flight. Only problem is - nobody has seen anything, neither the passengers or the stewards....

Enjoyed the story as such, but at the end when the identity of the murderer is revealed to the reader by Poirot, I felt quite disappointed, since I believe there was no way I as a reader could have found it out myself with the given information. Usually, Christie does manage to give all clues to the...

If you have read any Agatha Christie, you know that at some point the famous "untraceable poison from the South American Indians" will pop up. This is something that a clueless character usually mentions in cases of unexplained deaths and which Poirot always derides. So when I realized that the deat...

Vintage Christie - a locked room murder on a plane. I have to admit I was disappointed by the murderer. I was hoping for a romance. But I guess we got a couple of others anyway.
