Just finished "The Labours of Hercules", by Agatha Christie. This was her 46th book, and was originally published in 1947.
Poirot has decided (yet again) to retire, to devote himself to the cultivation of vegetable marrows. Following a visit from a classicist, Dr Burton, he decides to end his career by taking on 12 cases which mimic the legendary 12 labours of Hercules, his namesake.
A very good collection of short stories. Recommended.
