So rather than reviewing the book as a whole, I thought I would say a few words about each of "The Labours" and then give an overall rating. So taking the average we get 3.67, so 4 stars it is. An enjoyable book with some good stories and some average ones.

The Nemean Lion 4 stars
An enjoyable short story in which Poirot investigates the theft of a Pekinese dog !!

The Lernean Hydra 3 stars
A fun but obvious story in which Poirot delves into rumours and gossip against a local GP

The Arcadian Deer 3

There are 39 Hercule Poiro
