The Seven Dials mystery: A classic mystery of secret societies, country-house intrigue, stolen secrets, and deadly clocks

The Seven Dials Mystery is a masterful blend of high-spirited adventure and chilling intrigue from the legendary Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. Set against the backdrop of the historic and stately Chimneys estate, the story begins not with a murder, but with a lighthearted prank.

A group of exuberant young guests, tired of the chronic oversleeping of their friend Gerald Wade, decides to provide a wake-up call he can never ignore. They purchase eight alarm clocks, setting them to go off in a cacophonous sequence. But when the morning arrives, the joke takes a sinister turn. Gerald Wade is found dead in his bed, having never woken at all. On the mantelpiece, only seven of the eight clocks remain, arranged in a cryptic row.

Enter the indomitable Lady Eileen Brent, known to all as Bundle. Intelligent, daring, and possessing a sharp wit, Bundle refuses to believe Gerald’s death was a mere accident. Her investigation leads her away from the quiet countryside and into the dark heart of London’s secret societies. At the center of the web lies the mysterious Seven Dials, a shadowy organization with a deadly agenda.

Featuring the return of Superintendent Battle and a cast of unforgettable characters, The Seven Dials Mystery is a fast-paced thriller that captures the vibrant energy of the late nineteen twenties. It is a tale where nothing is as it seems, and every tick of the clock brings Bundle closer to a truth that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.
