The Seven Dials Mystery

The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Emilia Fox

The inspiration for the Netflix original series starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, and Martin Freeman! A practical joke goes chillingly, murderously wrong in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie’s classic detective story, Seven Dials.

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. . . .

Funny and a Good Story

One of Christie's funniest books that flies along. Great performance by the reader. Top notch!

Great narration!

I am a huge Christie fan and this one was a treat. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration and of course, the story was outstanding.

Had me guessing till the end.

I’ve listened to almost all of the Poirot and Marple mysteries but I hadn’t given attention to the other books AC wrote.

This was my first listen to this book and I really enjoyed the whole story. I chuckled out loud many times and had fun.

I generally love Emilia Fox but I have to mention the alarm clock pronunciation. It was unpleasant in the first portion of the book because alarm clocks are mentioned often. I can’t think why she kept saying “alarum” instead of alarm.

Stick with it. It’s only in the beginning after all.

A Classic

Though not as we’ll known as other Agatha Christie novels, this mystery is as well written and fun as some other more famous ones. The Emilia Fox reading is priceless.

Classic Agatha nice flow of events

The narrator was very irritating for me especially when trying to do male characters sadly couldn’t wait until I finish the audiobook
