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…

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. I don't believe it is to Agatha Christie's usual standard and rather point a friend to some of her better mystery novels.

What will your next listen be?

Another of Agatha's novels.

Not Agatha's best

Understandably dated, but then narrated by a terribly posh narrator who can’t do voices- distracting.
