Books I'm Reading: Death in the Clouds

 Book #5!


I try to ration my Poirot reading :") 
I don't want to run out!

So each time, I try to sip and savour it. 


This one is a good one to sip and savour hehe.
Because the story itself isn't that dynamic, in my opinion. 


There was a death at the beginning,
a long, on going investigation,
a slight twist at the end & the reveal.

That's kind of it. 


No secondary events happen in the middle 
I guess because in this case, Poirot tries to examine 11(-ish) suspects one by one. Eliminating them based on probability & possibility of committing a crime in an aircraft. 


So, we get to meet these different characters, 
follow or visit them in their 'worlds', while we are invited to guess who did it? 

Even though I was expecting more action, 
any chance of sitting with Poirot & Agatha Christie was delightful, always. 


Whilst the 'plot' of the book is rather simple, 
the crime itself was deliciously complex. I think that's one of the saving grace of this book. 


I think this is one of the books you can read again, just to see if you catch anything in the 2nd read! :)
