A "thriller" without Christie's usual detectives, set between the wars, quite satirical. A lavish weekend country house party falls apart when the rich young things play a joke on one of their number. It falls very flat when the wrong number of alarm clocks fail to wake him, and he ends up dead. Bundle, a very bright young woman, plays sleuth, misunderstand why a second friend is murdered. She and a third friend infiltrate a secret international criminal gang, that of the Seven Dials. They almost keep Superintendent Battle from protecting her life and solving the murders. Great fun, in spite of the mayhem.
