The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie
4.75
adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Maybe the most fun Christie book I’ve read. The mystery isn’t her best, but the characters are lively and memorable. At times she writes her young characters exactly as they might appear in a modern high school movie. I never expected a nearly 100 year old novel to feel so comically relatable, and Bundle’s relationship with her dad (as an example) is 100% true to life.
