The Seven Dials Mystery

Book Review by: Lion King    

Original Author: Agatha Christie
Another thriller from the stable of Agatha Christie. Another conventional murder perhaps? Perhaps not! Seven Dial's Mystery
begs to differ, eventually resulting in a unique murder story, set to fool the readers. The book is lined up with a host of other thrillers published by St. Martin's Paperbacks, in a new series, with an introduction by Val Mcdermid. The story of a young daredevil Bundle and her zeal to solve a murder-mystery in a mansion, starts on a harmless note where a few friends try to wake up a late riser with a bevy of alarm clocks. But how in the world does it result into his death? Is it committed by a secret society, Seven Dials? Read the book to find out the unlikely villain in this unconventional ending which you would never guess.The Seven Dial's Mystery is an enjoyable read specially Christie fans like myself. For those who don't like mysteries, it may well be a good try. Language is being kept simple, "Jimmy's words lifted the discussion… I don't know where Seven Dial's is, we can't very well comb out the entire district." The extract drives home the point of the lucid style and reader-friendly language. However, don't expect a clinical finish, and prepare to be shocked instead by the novelty of the plot.Looks like, regular readers for umpteenth time will have to sign "Fooled again in this new mystery by the Queen of Murder-mysteries. For aspiring Sherlocks and co., the Seven Dial's Mystery promises to be a thrilling read to guess on and on about the real murderer.
