Histoire
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Histoire
Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's "private collection". Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.

It had been a typical New Year's Eve party. But as midnight approaches, Mr. Satterthwaite - a keen observer of human nature - senses that the real drama of the evening is yet to unfold. And so it proves when a mysterious stranger knocks on the door. Who is this Mr. Quin? Mr. Satterthwaite's new friend is an enigma. He seems to appear and disappear almost like a trick of the light.

Description
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 makes up his mind to accept just 12 more cases: his self-imposed "Labors". Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

The Best of the Poirot Short Story Collections
Though the funny little man with the egg shaped head and luxurious mustache has filled out most of the queen of crime's bibliography, he has excelled generally more in his novels then in the short stories. Oh, he has good short stories alright, but compared to the likes of Miss Marple, Mr Quin and Parker Pyne, they generally fall a bit short. They're not bad, but they don't quite reach excellence like his novels do.
The one exception to this is this collection of short stories, The Labors of Hercules. I'm not sure what sets this collection apart per se: the semblance of an overarching narrative perhaps, maybe the running theme, maybe the diversity in tales represented, maybe maybe maybe. But whatever the reason, I find it the best of his short stories; moreover, even if you disagree, there'd be seldom denying I think that this collection has Poirot go a greater variety of quests then any other collection. From solving a kidnapping of a dog to escaped murderers to reuniting lovers to proving an 'insane' man sane, there's no lack of interesting setups with equally interesting conclusions to the various problems. And whereas in other collections I might be tempted to skip a tale or two, there's no such one here to bore me.
Between that and excellent as usual narration by Hugh Fraser, this collection does no wrong. Be you an old or new Christie fan, you owe it to yourself to check out these stories; you won't be disappointed.

Excellent, as per usual
Once again, Agatha Christie lets us spend time with her most popular sleuth: Hercule Poirot, this time in a series of enjoyable, and quite varied, short stories :-)
Hugh Fraser’s narration only enhances the listener’s enjoyment of these stories :-) He voices Hercule Poirot exceedingly well, no doubt aided by his long-running, tv pairing with David Suchet, as Captain Hastings and Poirot, respectively. Concerning Fraser’s portrayal of the other, quite varied characters inhabiting these short stories, many times, I found myself forgetting that it WAS Hugh Fraser who was speaking, so unlike his usual voice are his portrayals :-)
Some of the American accents were even performed quite well, with only the usual occasional American character sounding the way many British actors portray them: not American at all. (Fellow Canadians and Americans: do you ever wonder just WHY British people think that we sound the way that they portray?!? LOL: they probably wonder the same thing about us, eh? ;-D )
In his performances of various Agatha Christie novels (available on Audible :-) ), Hugh Fraser does a VERY GOOD job of portraying American characters :-) :-) :-)
Amusingly, one of Fraser’s male American characters in this selection of short stories has almost the exact same accent as Neil Dudgeon’s Jack, in the delightful, cosy mystery audio series: Cherringham. (Sorry Hugh and Neil: while your two male characters’ accent begins [in each episode, for Neil] as a pretty passable American one, it is rendered obviously fake, by your characters’ lack of variation in pitch, cadence, etc.)
