Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Seven Dials Mystery is a 1929 novel by Agatha Christie.It is a sequel to 1925 novel The Secret of Chimneys, featuring the return of spirited flapper Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent. The story kicks off at the Chimneys estate, where a bunch of Upper Class Twits are indulging in upper-class twittery. Gerry Wade, one of the Idle Rich spending time at Chimneys, keeps sleeping absurdly late in the mornings. The rest of the gang, including Gerry's nincompoop friends Jimmy Thesiger and Bill Eversleigh, get a bright idea. They will buy a bunch of alarm clocks and sneak them into Gerry's room. The alarm clocks will all go off at once and wake Gerry up at a proper hour.Come the next morning, the alarm clocks go off, but Gerry still doesn't get out of bed, because he is dead. A sleeping drug is found by his bed and the death is written off as an accidental overdose, but Gerry's friend Ronny Devereaux is dubious. Soon after, Bundle is driving down the road when a dying Ronny Devereaux—he was shot—steps out in front of her car. Before he expires, Ronny gasps out "Tell...Seven Dials...Jimmy Thesiger." Bundle, Jimmy, Gerry Wade's sister Loraine, and Bill Eversleigh (who is in love with Bundle) start investigating the Seven Dials, a shadowy secret society that may be up to all sorts of criminality, including the murders of Gerry and Ronny.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Reveal | |
| The Seven Dials Mystery / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
Even with The Reveal that Jimmy and Loraine have been criminals all along, Jimmy really has been developing feelings for Loraine, while her participation in his crimes has always been out of love for him. Their conversations where Loraine refuses to marry Jimmy "until they're safe" certainly take on a different context after the truth is known... | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| The Seven Dials Mystery / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Most obviously between Jimmy and Loraine, and emerges between Bill and Bundle as well. Even with The Reveal that Jimmy and Loraine have been criminals all along, Jimmy really has been developing feelings for Loraine, while her participation in his crimes has always been out of love for him. Their conversations where Loraine refuses to marry Jimmy "until they're safe" certainly take on a different context after the truth is known... | |

The Bore: George Lomax of the Foreign Office, whose endless soliloquies about politics and foreign relations bore everyone to death. Bundle fakes interest in foreign affairs to get invited to a party where some Seven Dials intrigue is supposed to be going down, and, to her horror, finds out that George misinterprets her response and wants to marry her. | |
