Remember the text below:
"Seven Dials" is not the best of Christie's mysteries, but it's engaging enough to keep you hooked as you try to figure out the meaning of the Seven Dials and how they relate to the murders. I liked that the protagonist, Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent, is a woman unraveling the mystery. She takes on the task of investigating Wade's murder and manages to figure out most of the mystery on her own, without much help from Superintendent Battle. He only comes in to help her put the final pieces in place. This differs from Miss Marple, who usually appears after the detective finds all the pieces to solve the puzzle.
It's a good light read to pass the time, but it's not one of the best Christie mysteries.
