Agatha Christieâs classic novel featuring Superintendent Battle and âBundleâ Brent.
Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper; so the other house guests 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 had backfired with tragic consequences.
For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words âSeven Dialsâ were to take on a new and chilling significanceâŠ

One of the few Christie mysteries where I was surprised by the ending. I will definitely be ve rereading this one. As for the narration, I wonder if this was Emilia Fox's first foray into voice acting. I've listened to some of her other work and enjoyed the narration but in this one she slipped up in the voices several times.
