how do you know that her stories "do not in any shape or form follow the Hero's Journey"?

Hero's Journey:
"A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man."

Most Detective novels do not follow it, especially Poirot.
They cannot "discover a mythical world", as it's their day-to-day world, Poirot is literally a world-famous detective at the beginning of every novel. Poirot doesn't encounter "fabulous forces", and does not have a decisive victory if ever and is more often than not saddened, from discovering the truth.
