Sinossi

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.
