A woman is killed by a poisoned dart in the enclosed confines of a commercial passenger plane...
From seat No.9,Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman,clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead,in seat No.13,sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8,a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.
What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him,in seat No.2,sat the slumped,lifeless body of a woman.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'It will be a very acute reader who does not receive a complete surprise at the end.'- Times Literary Supplement
Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
