About this audiobook

A practical joke goes chillingly, murderously wrong in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie’s classic detective story, The Seven Dials Mystery.

Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper, so the other houseguests 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 then backfired, with tragic consequences.

For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words ""Seven Dials"" were to take on a new and chilling significance. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Emilia Fox's narration usually does not bother me as much as it does other people but this is awful. She makes the characters sound like a gang of kids. It's extremely distracting. Strangely, her male voices are better than her female who sound like screeching little girls. This a great story but totally ruined by the narration.
