1952. Collins facsimile reprint of 1935 edition for The Crime Club. Hardback, blue boards with gilt lettering. With dustjacket. "This story is a classic locked room mystery, a technique at which Agatha Christie excelled. One of the twelve people aboard a flight from London to Paris must have murdered Mme Giselle, whose past appears to be filled with those who might seek revenge. In 1935, the year this novel was published, a regular London-Paris air service beganusing converted bombers for the aircraft. Agatha Christie was a huge fan of air travel, having taken her first flight in 1911, she described the experience as extraordinary." [Source: agathachristie.com] Hercule Poirot, a passenger on the flight, must unravel the mystery. The book was first published in the US with original title Death in the Air. Attractive bright-coloured dustjacket, with some nibs and shelf wear, and small ballpoint mark below author's name. Tanned pages. Mild bumping to spine ends and corners of boards.
