About this listen
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 made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed ‘Labours’. Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

I love Agatha Christie short stories!
Hugh Fraser reads Poirot books really really well. These are fun and varied short stories which work well for listening before bed.

Perfect for short attention spans
Whilst this is a full and single novel, the story itself consists of many short stories. Each chapter can be listened to as it's own story and I find it perfect for going to sleep to as you don't lose your place in the novel. Just set your timer to finish at the end of the chapter. I'm a bit obsessed with Poirot and iv tried all the different versions and readings/profrmances. Definitely the full novels read by hue are the most reliable and best quality. He reads wonderfully and is a man of a million voices. I was often convinced Poirot was there in my room or that it was an actual woman speaking. Truly an amazing talent.

Couldn’t solve a single one myself
As always Hugh Fraser did a marvellous job bringing vivid detail with his voice to the colourful array of characters, definitely worth a listen.
