Part of the Mavenhill Classics series, this annotated edition of The Seven Dials Mystery presents one of Agatha Christie’s most energetic and unconventional novels, supported by clear chapter-by-chapter summary notes.

Set against the backdrop of late 1920s England, the story begins with a harmless joke involving alarm clocks and a group of idle young friends. When the joke turns deadly, curiosity gives way to suspicion, and a trail of clues leads from a country house to the shadowy world of secret organizations and political intrigue.
