Summary

In The Seven Dials Mystery, Agatha Christie returns to the stately world of Chimneys, where a playful prank among weekend guests takes a dark turn. When a young man is found dead with an alarm clock ringing beside him, it appears to be a tragic accident—or is it a carefully orchestrated message? Determined to uncover the truth, the spirited and sharp-witted Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent plunges into a twisting investigation that leads her deep into the shadows of high society and a secretive group known only as the Seven Dials.     What follows is a fast-paced tale of coded letters, secret organizations, and unexpected betrayals. As Bundle pieces together the clues, she discovers that nothing is quite as it seems—not the guests at Chimneys, not the motives behind the murder, and certainly not the mysterious masked society at the heart of it all. Christie deftly mixes humor, suspense, and a touch of romance in this lively mystery that balances charming dialogue with genuine thrills.     Published by Classicus, this edition brings new attention to one of Christie’s most adventurous and entertaining mysteries. With its memorable heroine, clever twists, and unforgettable setting, The Seven Dials Mystery showcases the Queen of Crime at her most playful and inventive. A must-read for fans of classic detective fiction and Christie’s lighter, more conspiratorial tales.

    TANNER: YEAR EIGHT - A Tanner Series - Book 8 
    Tanner wasn’t in love with Tonya Wilson but loved being around her. Like himself, Tonya had a secret she kept hidden. Tanner knew she wasn’t the simple personal assistant she claimed to be, and she was aware he was more than an average real estate investor. 
    Everyone has a secret, and Tanner could live with not knowing Tonya’s. But then she died in what police were calling a “Tragic accident,” and Tanner found himself mourning her loss. 
    But was it an accident, or was it murder? And if murder, what was the reason for it? 
    More importantly, who killed Tonya Wilson? Who took away yet another person Tanner cared about? 
    When Tanner went looking for answers, he discovered Tonya’s secret and the deadly reason why she was targeted for death. 
    No. Tanner hadn’t been in love with Tonya Wilson, but he’d be damned if he wouldn’t avenge her death and make every last person responsible for it pay with their own lives. 
    It’s Tanner on a rampage, and the guilty can run, but they can’t hide.
