Anisha Inkspill (anishainkspill) | 366 comments Hiya, I've finished reading The Labours of Hercules (Agatha Christie) but it was an audiobook of almost 9 hours, looking up the printed / eBooks versions pages numbers vary from

280 to 450 pages,

the average of the 2 numbers, is 385

so not sure which one to apply:

280, 385 or 450 pages

385 sounds like the right choice. I'll add it to the total.
