A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of an Agatha Christie story.On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which Hercule Poirot is an apprehensive passenger, a woman is found dead.

But which one? Poirot, Japp and M. Fournier of the Surete will make their way through shoals of red herrings before reaching an utterly unexpected conclusion.

Review By Ms Marple - Death in the Clouds was the first Christie novel I read, which started my love of all the Poirot novels. The ingenious storyline based on a murder that takes place on a flight home, sees Hurcule Poirot using all his little grey cells to crack the case. The dramatisation is as always first class and It is wonderful to hear Philip Jackson, who we all know from the ITV productions of Poriot, play the part of Japp.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon - a highly recommended audiobook.

Every superlative has been used to describe the literary achievements of Agatha Christie and it would be hard to exaggerate any claims for her fame. With sales of around four billion and still climbing, there can be few people in the English speaking world and beyond who have not heard of or read at least one of her books.

Now there’s a new way to enjoy the queen of crime, and that’s on CD or MP3 audiobook format. And what better place to start any Christie audiobook collection than with Death in the Clouds? First published as Death in the Air in 1935, this story has the new fashion for commercial flight as its backdrop. During a flight from Paris, one of the passengers is found dead, seemingly from natural causes. But the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot was also on board and knows better. The plot involves the usual questions of who, how and why, with a long list of suspects, and is resolved in one of Christie’s dénouements with Poirot displaying his analytical skills to the full. Listeners will be hard pushed to correctly identify the murderer as a number of false trails are laid as traps.

First adapted by ITV in 1992 and starring David Suchet as Poirot, Radio 4 have laid on a full cast of readers for this BBC drama MP3 audiobook, which is guaranteed to delay any chance of getting off to sleep early for bedtime listeners!
