⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
I loved the story, it was so different and now I guess my new fav genre is mystery. Thanks Christie. (Obviously except the casual racism)
Oh god i wish the murder reveals be with the facts already shared with the audience previously then we also get to guess simultaneously.

Siempre me sorprenderá que, haga las conjeturas que haga, haya algún detalle que se me escape y me impida descubrir al culpable. Perfecto para leer d una sentada durante una mañana

"Death in the Clouds" by Agatha Christie is a murder mystery set on a flight from Paris to London. Hercule Poirot, a passenger, witnesses the death of Madame Giselle, initially thought to be from a wasp sting. However, Poirot soon discovers a poisoned dart, indicating murder, and must identify the killer among the eleven other passengers and crew within the confined space of the plane. 


Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • The Setting:
  • The story takes place on a flight from Paris to Croydon (London), creating a "closed circle" mystery where the killer must be one of the people on board. 


  • The Victim:
  • Madame Giselle, a French moneylender, is found dead. A wasp is initially suspected, but Poirot quickly realizes the truth: a poisoned dart was used. 


  • The Investigation:
  • Poirot, with his keen observation skills, begins to investigate the other passengers and crew, searching for clues and motives. 


  • The Suspicion:
  • The suspects include a variety of characters: a detective writer, a dentist, a doctor, a Countess, and others, each with their own potential reasons for wanting Madame Giselle dead. 


  • The Mystery:
  • The challenge for Poirot lies in figuring out how the dart was delivered in such a confined space, as well as identifying the killer among the diverse personalities.
