About the Author Dame Agatha Christie is the world’s best-known mystery writer. Her books have sold over two billion copies worldwide and have been translated into 44 foreign languages. During a writing career that spanned more than half a century, she created two of the world’s most famous detectives. Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. The author of 79 novels and short story collections, she was also an
accomplished playwright--one of her 14 plays, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. She published six romantic novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott and wrote four non-fiction books, including an
autobiography. Several of her books, including Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, were made into hugely successful films. She died in 1976.
Some of Christie\'s novels only betray their age by a subtle reference to a bygone time, others have plots than hinge on a point that modern technology has made obsolete. In this day of cell phones, SUV, satellite TV,
computer networks etc just how isolated can a house in the English countryside be? Still other stories are dated in a very charming way, and lead the reader back to a far different time. This 1935 novel takes us back to a day
when air travel was very different from today. A plane of 21 passengers had 2 pilots to fly from Paris to London and 2 stewards who served five course meals. The story opens with Poirot embarking on a flight between Paris and London. He and the other passengers settle themselves for the journey, marred only by the presence of a stowaway wasp which is quickly killed by one of
the passengers. The situation changes when a steward tries to wake one of the passengers in preparation for landing. She has died during the flight.
Poirot sets out to solve the crime which appears to have been committed by using a dart tipped with snake venom shot from a blowgun. All the passengers are under suspicion and have lives that are surprising intertwined.
The trail leads Poirot from London, to the English countryside and back to Paris with inquiries stretching halfway around the world. In the end Poirot is, of course, triumphant. He even manages to help true love along the
way.
Even though this is very much a period piece the mystery is intriging and Christie comes through with one of her characteristic surprise twists.
