A review by georgioszog
The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie

3.0

"The Labours of Hercules... Mais oui, c' est une idée, ça"

I find Christie's idea of great ingenuity. Hercule Poirot, the Belgian neat detective, takes on twelve cases that resemble the Labours of Hercules, his great predecessor, but they are modernised. I must admit that the idea was good but the stories themselves were fairly "queer" because there was no time for the case to be developed and, as a result, the end was very strange for the reader. Nevertheless, it is a rather good collection of short stories that it is worth to read.
