The Labours Of Hercule

Show Notes

All aboard the misery train, mes amis! A traumatised Poirot is forced to investigate the murder of a shady American businessman who stabbed in his compartment on the Orient Express. When the train is blocked by a snowdrift, Poirot is faced with a chilling locked-room mystery. Is the killer among this eclectic cast of characters, and can Poirot solve the case to avoid a miscarriage of justice? Plus we share your thoughts on this rather controversial adaptation.
