conversations.value: Death in the Clouds: In the book, Poirot is a passenger on board a flight from Paris to Croydon.\nSome time before landing, one of the passengers, Madame Giselle\xa0– a wealthy French moneylender\xa0– is found dead.\nInitially, a reaction to a wasp sting is postulated, but Poirot spies found the true cause of death: a poison-tipped dart, apparently fired from a blowgun.\nIt becomes apparent that the victim has been murdered.\nFrustrated with the evident artificiality of the blowpipe, an item that could hardly have been used without being seen by another passenger, Poirot suggests that the means of delivering the dart may have been something else.\nIs it the flute of one passenger, or perhaps one of the ancient tubes carried by one of the two French archaeologists (father and son) on board.\nOr maybe Lady Horbury\'s long cigarette holder.\nWhy were there two coffee spoons in the victim\'s saucer.\nPoirot\'s focus is upon a wasp that has been seen in the compartment and which provided evidence for the original theory of the cause of death.\nWithout explaining himself, he asks for a detailed list of the items in the possession of the passengers, and finds an incriminating clue, but does not specify to which passenger the clue pertains, although he expresses considerable surprise.\nMadame Giselle is suspected of using blackmail to ensure her clients paid up, so any of the passengers could either have owed her money or feared exposure.\nEqually, Madame Giselle had an estranged daughter who will inherit her considerable estate: could one of the female passengers be this heiress.\nMuch of the novel focuses on the pursuit of this line of inquiry, with the passengers all coming under suspicion in turn.\nSpecial attention is given to Mr Clancy, a detective novelist who enables Christie to include the same sort of parodies of her craft achieved in other novels through the character of Ariadne Oliver.\nThe only other suspect who proves of material significance is, however, the Countess of Horbury, a woman from the lower classes who married well.\nShe was one of Madame Giselle\'s debtors and her wealthy husband has cut her off.\nThe countess\' maid has been called into the compartment during the flight where she would have had the perfect opportunity to commit the crime.\nWhen this maid is revealed to be none other than the victim\'s daughter and heir, Anne Morisot, it seems she must be the murderess.\nBut the maid was only on the flight by accident, having been asked to be there at the last moment.\nMoreover, the death of Anne Morisot from poison on the boat-train to Boulogne leaves no clear suspect.\nPoirot reveals in the dénouement that dentist Norman Gale, heretofore seen as a sympathetic protagonist with a crush on the novel\'s ingenue heroine, Jane Grey, is none other than Anne\'s new husband.\nGale\'s plans – almost certainly including the eventual murder of Anne herself – had been laid well in advance.\nGale brought his dentist\'s jacket on board—the item which had made Poirot suspicious earlier when reviewing the passengers\' list of onboard possessions.\nIn the apparently innocuous moments when he apparently went to the water closet, he actually changed into this jacket to pose as a steward.\nUnder the pretense of delivering a coffee spoon to Miss Giselle he had walked up the aisle and stabbed her with the poisoned thorn.\nAs Poirot puts it: "No one notices a steward particularly".\nGale\'s intention had been to frame the Countess, and the blowpipe found behind Poirot\'s seat would have been found behind hers had they not switched seats at the last moment.\nPoirot invites Mr Clancy to the dénouement where he gleefully allows the novelist to see how a real-life detective solves a case, to both men\'s great enjoyment.\nFinally, in a single stroke Poirot makes a romantic match by pairing off Jane Grey with the younger archaeologist, who has fallen in love with her.
