Death in the Clouds - Agatha Christie ... murder is committed on a flight to Paris. 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. To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirot's first appearance, and to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this title in a collection of facsimile first editions is the perfect way to experience Agatha Christie. Reproducing the original typesetting and format of the first edition from the Christie family's own archive, this book sports the original cover which has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.

Both stories were published very close to one another and, though the numbers have increased in "Death in the Clouds", the comparisons can not be missed.

Rating:

As the air liner Prometheus embarks on its flight from France to Croydon the majority of the passengers and crew presume that the journey will pass without incident. Yet, in one of the compartments someone out of thirteen people is aware that matters will be rather different. A short while after the flight commences a woman by the name of Marie Morisot is found dead in her seat. Suggestions are first given to the possibility of an allergic reaction to a wasp sting, since that creature was flying round the plane at the time.
