The Seven Dials Mystery was first published in 1929 and it has been described as “Gerry Wade has proved himself to be a champion sleeper; so the other house guests decided to play a practical joke on him,” on Agatha Christie website.
The prank was to set off eight alarm clock one after the other, with the first one being at 6.30 a.m. However, when the morning arrived, one clock was missing and what was supposed to be a prank, turned into a tragic incident with consequences.
