#29 - Death in the Clouds
Tumblr media
Having just gotten home from vacation I can gladly say I did not experience Death in the Clouds, but guess who did? 
Oh, you silly goose, I can’t tell you. That’d ruin it!
Death in the Clouds was a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). It actually ranks surprisingly high in the ongoing list I’ve got going for one of Christie’s less famous works. It’s got drama. It’s got fashion. It’s got romance. It’s got France. What more could you want? A particularly unique method and distraction mechanism, that’s what! 
This book is one of the greats when it comes to the old trope of that one clue that just doesn’t fit, throwing the whole case off. The blowpipe and the wasp on the airplane befuddle even Papa Poirot, who does much of his solving behind the scenes here. Poirot does some of his most thorough and solid detective work in this novel, really digging in on the ground to figure out what happened in the sky. The solution was also one of those where the actual thing itself is not surprising, but the characters involved sure are. This was one where I audibly gasped for the first time in a long time. 
To tell you the truth I might come back and edit this review because (cough cough just got back from vacation) my brain is foggy and I don’t feel I’m doing this book justice. Just...it’s really good, you guys. Read it. Please.
Rating: 8/10. Colour: wasp yellow.

The mystery book by E.R. Fowles titled The Calo Chronicles Book One: Hunted is an expert at making her characters more than just one-dimensional individuals. Having complex characters is a good call on her part because they greatly serve the mystery aspect that her book has. Readers can speculate and analyze someone like Samuel Calo and be unable to predict his motives, actions, and how he thinks due to his complexity...

British mystery writer Agatha Christie's masterwork "And Then There Were None" was released in 1939. One of Christie's most well-known and extensively read pieces, it is adored by people everywhere. Its intricate storyline, perceptive psychological analysis, and unexpected conclusion make it an engrossing read.

Ten guests from various backgrounds and occupations are welcomed to an opulent mansion on a secluded English island, complete with ten little dolls adorned with carvings of Indian heads, at the start of the narrative. Invited guests with sinister past secrets assemble in this unsettling location. But as soon as they get on the island, an unexpected storm makes it difficult for them to leave the island or the mansion. Then they discover that they are being murdered one by one.

As the narrative goes on, the characters encounter bleak circumstances and grow wary of other characters. They attempt to solve the mystery of the successive deaths while confronting their own pasts, but it is challenging to find the real offender and determine the motivation.
The intricate psychological portrait of the individuals and the methodical disclosure of details about their pasts and secrets are two of the book's many captivating features.

You stole my baby!” Lara Smith is hysterical, her red lipstick smeared. A teddy lies abandoned in the empty crib. But I wasn't hired to look after a baby. I didn’t even know this nursery existed…Lara’s husband calls the police and screams: “The nanny has taken our little girl.” I’m frozen in shock. This is impossible. I was only meant to be looking after the Smiths' nine-year-old twins… I'm certain that earlier this evening when they left for their fancy event—Lara in high heels and a floor-length gown, Corbin in a tux—they never mentioned a baby. And they definitely didn’t show me this nursery room, up in the eaves of their sprawling, beachfront mansion. But their angelic blonde twins are now blinking at me in matching horror, and my heart pounds painfully as handcuffs snap shut around my wrists. As I'm pushed towards the waiting police car, I look back one last time and meet Lara's eyes. Am I imagining the cold calculation in them? I try to swallow my panic. Why was I really hired for this job? And then an even more chilling thought races through my mind. Do Lara and Corbin know who I really am? Because if they do, my life is in terrible danger…

THE HOMEMAKER by Shari J. Ryan Release Date: June 12, 2023 Genre: Psychological Thriller Standalone
I pull back the blanket to take another peek at my beautiful baby boy. My heart flatlines. He isn’t there. “Where is he?” I cry, my whole body trembling. But my husband just shakes his head. “Darling… we don’t have a baby.”
What is he talking about? Stumbling to my feet, I look frantically at the highchair, the playmat in the corner, the sofa. I need to find my little boy.
Limbs like ice, I rush toward the stairs, shouting my son’s name. But my husband grabs my arms and gently reminds me there is no baby here.
I can’t listen. I don’t understand how our child isn’t in our home. I don’t know who could have taken him. I just know I have to find him.
Climbing the stairs two at a time, my hand is already stretching toward the nursery door, but my husband overtakes, blocking my way.
He forces me to face him. I think I can hear the baby mobile over the crib. I can practically smell the newborn smell. But my husband sighs and shakes his head.
He says it again, firmly this time, as a tear tracks down my cheek: “We don’t have a baby.”
I blink rapidly, my breathing ragged. I think he expects me to agree. But I know that my son is real. I can feel his weight in my arms. And I will stop at nothing to get him back…
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will have your heart racing. Prepare yourself for jaw-dropping, mind-blowing twists! Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.
