A little about the story

A country-house prank involving alarm clocks becomes part of a more serious investigation. Bundle Brent follows the clues into a world of secret meetings and unlikely connections.

Bundle follows clues through a society inclined to make danger look like an awkward interruption to a weekend. Christie keeps the pace brisk by turning practical jokes, visits and conversations into decisions about where to go next.
