Meh.
Poirot and his friend bust up a drug ring. Crocket and Tubbs would be proud.
*cue Miami Vice theme song*
The wild horses in this case are 4 wild young sisters that Poirot needs to 'tame' in order to save them from ruinous behavior. Although, what self-respecting woman wants to be tamed?
This one was simply ok.
Christie usually comes across like a frumpy old woman when she writes about drugs, and this story is no exception.
Originally published in 1940 in The Strand Magazine & put together with 11 other stories in 1947 and published as The Labours of Hercules.
These 12 cases are chosen by Poirot as his own labors of Hercules that he will undertake before his supposed retirement.
