Death in the Clouds (Poirot)

Product Information

Madame Giselle (or Marie Morisot)'s name is slightly changed to Marie Giselle, and Anne Morisot was renamed Anne Giselle. The airline clerk's name is not given in the episode, although the one in the original novel had the name "Jules Perrot". The characters of Dr Bryant, James Ryder and Armand Dupont are omitted from the adaptation; Jean Dupont is the only archaeologist on the flight. My wife and I listened to this audiobook whilst decorating over the last few days and at 6 hours its a jolly good listen. Hugh Fraser does have a penchant for narrating, and for the various voices he uses without it sounding too contrived.

The voice of Poirot. I used to read Christie's novels until recently I started to listen to them. Hugh Fraser brings Poirot's French/Belgian side of the character to life. As I have limited exposure to French, I cannot but imagine Poirot as the typical English gentlemen. Hugh Fraser gives me a more complete illustration of Poirot's characterBefore I was so rudely interrupted...the French police had just found Anne Morisot's body on the Boulogne boat train...so what's next, M. Poirot? The heiress to a fortune, however ill-got (loan sharking is ill-got gains in my book), is dead! Now who benefits? In other words, find the husband she married so hastily a month ago. The youngest of three children of the Miller family. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.

Agatha Christie. Πραγματικά, κάθε φορά που θέλω κάτι πιο "ελαφρύ", κάτι να ξεφύγει το μυαλό μου για λίγο, στρέφομαι στην αγαπημένη Agatha και εκείνη δεν με έχει απογοητεύσει ποτέ.The characters of Dr Bryant, James Ryder and Armand Dupont are omitted as potential suspects. Mr Dupont's son does appear, and mentions that his father passed away before the opening of the episode. And here we are almost a week later and I've rounded up my marking as the more I think about it, the more I am convinced this is over 4 .5 and therefore rounded up to 5. The motive for deliberate murder is usually simple: love or money. Here we learn of several characters who have financial difficulties, and more than one who are unhappy in their marriages or relationships. But the method employed here seems so extreme as to be absurd. Was the victim stabbed repeatedly in the chest? Were they strangled? Or bludgeoned to death? In fact we learn of the murder at the end of chapter one, and it frustrated all the detectives for a long time after. Inspector Japp expostulates:
