The Seven Dials Mystery (Superintendent Battle #2)
I enjoyed this Agatha Christie mystery very much. It had quite a different feel to it from the Miss Marple and Poirot mysteries. Dare I say, it was almost an adult Nancy Drew (ish) style mystery; mainly due to the fact that the protagonists were young people, rather than the more mature sleuths that Christie peopled her stories with. You find wealthy, carefree, Lady Eileen (aka Bundle) Brent and Jimmy Thesiger and their acquaintances trying to solve the murders of two of their friends. What it
Finally, I finished this! I can't believe this super skinny book took that long to get through! Contrary to what that might suggest, I did enjoy the twists and turns of this Agatha Christie novel. The beginning took a bit of time to move, but after that it was action and more action. I enjoyed Bundle, the female protagonist, who was daring and smart. I can't help but pick up on all the sexism. I know it is accurate for the time, but nothing quite shows how we have progressed than reading books
The Seven Dials Mystery is a fast paced and a very enjoyable book. Some of the characters are from another Christie novel, The Secret of Chimneys. As a huge fan of the queen of crime and whodunits, I had a very nice time reading this book and I was satisfied with the ending which was surprising and full of twists. Agatha Christie always gives the best mystery and its never disappointing!
This book was astounding. It starts by describing Mr Wade, a respectable man who appears to sleep through earthquakes. Four children decide to buy eight alarm clocks, which start ringing immediately after each other. Surely no one can sleep through that! But when Wade is late to breakfast again,its up to the butler to wake him up. What happens next is the classic agatha Christie style.Later, upon investigation the police realise that there were only seven alarum clocks present, but the kids are
3.5 stars
Expect no Hercule Poirot, no Miss Jane Marple, no Tommy nor Tuppence Beresford; however, Superintendent Battle does just fine in The Seven Dials. The mountainous but subtly clever policeman manages to solve two murders and break an international ring of crooks in a cozy that will engage you to the very last page.The caper begins with the death of a guest at this is Dame Agatha Christie, after all a house party. The deceaseds half-sister, the deceaseds friend, and another young woman, Lady

Another fun to read Christie murder mystery. I never read several, but this is the first time Ive met Inspector Battle from Scotland Yard. A thrilling who-dun-it. Once again she fooled me and I didnt figure out the killer...Christie all, me zero. One day I will catch the killer before she reveals him.I enjoyed this Agatha Christie mystery very much.
