Publisher's Summary
In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet, reasoned the detective, like 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 makes up his mind to accept just 12 more cases: his self-imposed "Labors". Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
©1947 Agatha Christie Limited (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd

"Agatha Christie's Poirot as always - excellent"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes! If they like mysteries, an Agatha Christie book read by David Suchet or Hugh Fraser is a no-brainer. If you like short stories, this one is for you.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?Yes. It is a collection of short stories and each one is excellently done.
What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?His narration is very good and it gives the familiar feel of the episodes because you recognize Hasting and Poirot's voices.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The solution always is great.
