A little too long, but kept my interest. If you are expecting a mystery along the line of Christie's "Death In The Clouds," it might disappoint. The death does occur on a cross-channel flight, but 90% of the book recounts how the murderer plans and carries out the murder. You go along with him on his scheme, and feel what he feels as he first thinks he is going to get away with it, then live with him through his trial up until the verdict. The last chapters tell how Inspector French came to suspect the killer and how he put his case together (and explains some points both you and the killer were wondering about.) It's a well constructed tale for those into police procedurals.
