About “The Seven Dials Mystery”

Agatha Christie's The Seven Dials Mystery brings back characters from her earlier novel The Secret of Chimneys and blends elements of a John Buchan thriller with the wit of P.G. Wodehouse. The story centers on Gerry Wade, a young man known for his inability to wake up on time. A group of friends attempts to wake him with eight alarm clocks, but the plan fails when they discover Gerry has died from a sleeping draught. The mystery deepens when only seven clocks are found in his room, arranged in a suspicious manner. Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent and her friends investigate the strange circumstances surrounding his death.
