The Seven Dials Mystery

A weekend gathering at Chimneys turns grim when a young guest is found dead among a row of alarm clocks, with one of them missing. What looks at first like an accidental overdose soon points to something colder, and to a shadowy circle that meets under the sign of the Seven Dials. Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, quick-witted and fearless, refuses to leave the puzzle alone and sets off on her own to unmask the society and its hooded leader. Agatha Christie plays this 1929 novel as light adventure more than sober detection, with Superintendent Battle lending a steady hand. It brings back several faces from The Secret of Chimneys.
