The Seven Dials Mystery

A practical joke gone chillingly, murderously wrong sets the stage for this 1929 Agatha Christie secret-society thriller. When a group of houseguests hides eight alarm clocks to wake a champion sleeper, they discover a dead body and a missing clock—a revelation that plunges them into a chilling plot of international significance.The mystery, however, is propelled not by the famous detective Hercule Poirot, but by the fiery and feisty Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, a young woman who defies the "damsel-in-distress trope" by diving headfirst into danger. A departure from Christie's more meticulous detective stories,The Seven Dials Mystery is a fast-paced romp full of action, wit, and a surprising amount of humor that showcases the Queen of Mystery's exploration into the thriller genre.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
