In this Agatha Christie classic, the calm and methodical Superintendent Battle—one of Christie's beloved recurring detectives—returns to unravel another baffling murder. In sharp contrast to his patient, understated investigative style is the spirited Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, a sharp-tongued young amateur sleuth who asks the questions others won't and refuses to be intimidated by danger. Much to Battle's equal exasperation and admiration, Bundle doesn't simply stumble into mysteries—she eagerly throws herself into them. It may be precisely that fearless curiosity that draws the attention of a shadowy secret society whose deadly conspiracy is already in motion...

Blending an ingenious country house mystery with suspenseful and thrilling espionage, The Seven Dials Mystery is perfect for readers of Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham, classic British detective fiction, Golden Age murder mysteries, Scotland Yard police procedurals, and vintage crime fiction.

If you enjoy The Seven Dials Mystery, don't miss Agatha Christie's companion novel, The Secret of Chimneys, which also features the irrepressible Bundle Brent. One of Christie's most adventurous and quick-witted heroines, Bundle's courage, humor, and infectious enthusiasm for solving mysteries have made her a lasting fan favorite.
