Poirot sets himself a challenge before he retires - to solve 12 cases which correspond with the labours of his classical Greek namesake...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.

2007.4.30 Poirot的仰慕对象出现，史无前例，而且是个有点偷窃癖的俄罗斯贵族。真是个振奋人心的八卦。我原来以为听到这里，Agatha的系列就要告以段落，因为我在半年之内听完了30本，已经实在腻到不行了。可是昨儿个贱性发作，随便又捡了本开始听，看来这项事业还可以继续。
