«Hercule, le héros grec, avait accompli douze travaux. Cependant, ce n'est pas du héros grec qu'il s'agit ici mais tout bonnement d'Hercule Poirot. Le célèbre détective belge est loin d'avoir le physique avantageux du fils de Zeus, mais il possède des petites cellules grises en assez bon état pour résoudre ces douze énigmes particulièrement ardues. Dans «L'Hydre de Lerne», par exemple, il est face au monstre le plus redoutable qui soit: la calomnie, et cette calomnie susurre que le docteur Oldfield a assassiné sa femme pour épouser sa garde-malade. De quoi envoyer à la potence un homme et une jeune fille... Douze nouvelles, douze mystères brillamment élucidés.»

Tous les enfants? C'est en rangeant la maison, après le départ des invités, qu'on découvre le cadavre de la petite Joyce dans la bibliothèque. Bouleversée, Mrs Oliver fait aussitôt appel à son ami, le grand Hercule Poirot.»
