What Members Thought

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 ...more

A journey into the world of Hercule Poirot was bound to be joyful and reinvigorating. Hercule Poirot , the Belgian detective despite of his vanity and arrogance is my favourite literary character and perusal of an anthology purely based on him was sure to be a delightful experience.
