Several young people came here on vacation and planned a prank: using eight clocks to wake up their companion who always seemed to be late. In the early morning, eight clocks rang one after another, but the poor companion could never wake up again. What's even more surprising is that there are only seven clocks left, and one was thrown out of the window!
Immediately afterwards, a companion died mysteriously, and his last words turned out to be: "The seven-faced clock..."
Miss Bondel, the owner of "Chimney Villa", is determined to find the truth. And the trustworthy Officer Battle, who appears many times in the Queen's works, seems unwilling to help this curious girl.
Reader comments
Miss Bondel is witty and smart, finds out the truth, and takes risks. Her father is really a living treasure. He is so interesting and humorous. He can pretend to like others even though he doesn't like them. He doesn't like to move, but he likes to eat melons.
The most likely ones are the most suspicious. They can falsify their identity and status, lie without hesitation, and kill people without hesitation.
The plot of this book is very attractive and made me feel like I was involved in the case. I particularly like Miss Bondel, whose wisdom and courage are admirable. Agatha Christie's writing style is concise and clear, and the writing is smooth, making it easy for people to immerse themselves in the story. Recommended to friends who like mystery novels, you will not be disappointed!
