A woman is killed up in the sky in an airplane, and the culprit appears to have been a wasp trapped in the cabin. Upon closer inspection, Poirot finds that several other factors may have led to this woman's demise.

For some reason, I enjoyed this one. It was good to listen to during chores because even if I missed something small, I could still follow the plot, so that was nice!

I knew the killer pretty early on but like Poirot, had no idea how they did it. A fun one! 

This was a really fun one. I enjoyed the cast of characters and the setting

I do always enjoy poirot mysteries. I got about halfway through and started to suspect that I’d actually read it before, but who can say lol. Probably not one of my favorites, but an enjoyable ride.

Frankly, not one of the best. Poirot is as lovely as ever, but there seems to be something about the plot and the solution that doesn't quite gel. I read a copy that was published in the 1970s and I hope that one particular phrase has been edited out by now as its so out of kilter with now.
