Death in the Clouds  (English, Undefined, Christie Agatha)

Death in the Clouds is a detective novel by Agatha Christie, featuring Hercule Poirot.

Summary of the Book

Hercule Poirot wonders whether death follows him everywhere. He seems to meet it wherever he goes. But in an airplane from Paris to London, he expects that he will be able to rest peacefully. In Seat 29, he observed his fellow passengers with interest. To his right sat a pretty young woman besotted with the man opposite. In another seat, a Countess sits, her addiction to cocaine is as obvious as the nose on her face. And in Seat 8, across the gangway, sits a detective writer who is being annoyed by a rather troublesome wasp. However, Poirot hadn’t noticed a seat behind him, where a woman sat, slumped in her seat, the life gone from her body.
