✦ Synopsis

In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yetreasoned the detectivelike Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters.

So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed 'Labours'. Each would go down n the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

Review

Richly devious and quite brilliant. -- San Francisco Chronicle

Review

Poirot and Agatha Christie at their inimitable best' Sunday Express 'I have often thought that Mrs Christie was not so much the best as the only living writer of the true of classic detective story' Margery Allingham 'A finely shaped book, richly devious and quite brilliant -- by far the best volume of Poirot shorts' San Francisco Chronicle
