Publisher's Summary

Agatha Christie’s classic novel featuring Superintendent Battle and ‘Bundle’ Brent.

Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper; so the other house guests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6.30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank had backfired with tragic consequences.

For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words ‘Seven Dials’ were to take on a new and chilling significance…

Critic Reviews

"Her gift is pure genius." (Observer)

"An amusing, exciting, well-written story." (Outlook)

"All signs indicate that Mrs Christie has been reading P.G. Wodehouse, and she does it very well in spots. This is her gayest thriller and mustn't be missed." (Books)

Love the story, don’t love the narrator

Slightly different kind of Agatha story, but awesome and complete with twists as always. The only let down is the narrator Emilia Fox - she can’t get the characters’ voices right and it really takes away from the story.

Just not one of her best stories, poorly read.

Apart from the fact that is not most riveting of Agatha Christie’s book, it is most certainly not helped by the narrator. A very poor performance and a voice that is not at all interesting to listen to. With so many characters this narrator fails to engage the listener with the story line through poor acting skills.
