Death in the Clouds - Locked-Room Classic

Hannah finally gets a break from Hastings… because he’s not in this one. And honestly? Any book without Hastings starts at a 4-star baseline.Episode 148: Death in the Clouds by Agatha ChristieIt’s always a good day when we get a Poirot mystery and a Hastings-free flight. Sam and Hannah dive into one of Christie’s most delightfully absurd premises: murder above the clouds, suspicious passengers, and a wasp that definitely didn’t do it.We talk about Christie’s knack for misdirection, our running the Anti-Hastings Club lore, and why stories set in confined spaces (planes, trains, creepy mansions) just hit different. Sentiment this week: positive, with a healthy side of chaotic giggling.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (Episode 149)⏱️ Time Stamps00:00 Intro01:25 Historical Context03:36 Background04:55 Age Level & Content Warning08:32 Judge a Book by It's Cover10:06 Discussion56:43 General Thoughts58:54 One Question for the Author01:01:48 Rating01:02:20 Read Again?01:02:28 Outro🔗 Connect with Us on SocialFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575460276754⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
