Synopsis

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.

    Former Inspector Pontus Hilmersson sat slumped on the sofa, staring blankly into nothing. Exactly as he’d done for months now, after nearly dying twice and witnessing more raw violence than any one man should. Since he came back from Norway, a month in psychiatric care at Sahlgrenska had been traded for his daughter’s flat, where he now spent most of his days. 
    Vicky zipped up his fly and stood, wiping her mouth. Dropping by had become a habit. Almost always at lunch, when his overprotective daughter was safely at work across town. 
    “I’ll get going, loads to do,” she said, turning towards the door. 
    “Okay, say hi,” Pontus croaked, his voice broken, flat as a cracked violin. 
    “Don’t think so, you,” Vicky shot back, walking slowly through the room. At the threshold she stopped, looked at him with a sad expression, then disappeared—back to her office and the endless stream of bestial murders. 
    In her car she switched her phone back on—the one she always turned off for those daily visits to the gloomy flat. Inside, her only real love lay down on the sofa, shut his eyes, and tried to sleep. Hoping that things would be better when he woke. Hands clasped, a silent prayer muttered that life might somehow return to how it used to be, before everything turned into days of torment and nights of anxiety and tears.

She's determined to unearth the truth about Dr. Webb's budding company. Dr. Webb's willing to let her, of course, for reasons of her own. What better advertisement could she get than that of a convinced skeptic? But Esther's not the only one curious about how this technology works. Enter real-world threats just as frightening as those created in the lab. Dr. Webb and Esther are at odds, but they may also be each other's only hope of survival.

    'Wonderfully Twisted' - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review 
    If walls could talk... 👀 
    Looking after and tending to the needs of my tenants is what gives me purpose. Every day I go out of my way to watch over them and keep them safe. They're more than just paying guests, they're my neighbours, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure they're happy. 
    But when one of them is found dead in their apartment, everything I thought I knew is thrown into chaos. I always thought that danger only lived in the outside world, it’s why I’ve not stepped foot outside this building for 5 years. But I’m quickly realising that there is more to fear inside these walls. 
    When I inherited this building from my dad I had no idea about its sordid history. But as far as I'm concerned, no good comes from digging up the past. But with the police asking probing questions - about them, about me - and with my tenants holding secret meetings, I must uncover the truth before anyone else comes to harm, even if it means risking everything I've carefully built.
