"The Secret of Chimneys" by Agatha Christie is a lively mystery that blends political intrigue, adventure, and romance. The book also introduces Lady Eileen Brent - better known to her friends as "Bundle" - whose amateur sleuthing assists one of Scotland Yard's finest detectives, Superintendent Battle, in unraveling the mystery.
The story follows Anthony Cade, a charming traveler who agrees to deliver a political memoir and return some compromising letters to their owner. His mission leads him to Chimneys, a grand English estate where Bundle lives and where her family is hosting a weekend gathering of aristocrats and politicians. When a murder occurs, Superintendent Battle - and his curious young ward - investigate, uncovering a web of secrets involving stolen jewels, royal impostors, and international conspiracies.
A fast-paced tale that showcases Christie's flair for intricate plotting and witty dialogue, "The Secret of Chimneys" captures the glamour and intrigue of post-World War I England while delivering a classic whodunit twist.
It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
Agatha Christie
The Detection Club was founded in London in 1930 by a distinguished group of British detective fiction writers dedicated to the art of the mystery novel. Its founding members included Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, Anthony Berkeley, and other leading figures of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Chesterton served as the club's first president, and Christie later held that position for nearly two decades. The Floating Admiral brought together fourteen contributors in an extraordinary experiment in collaborative storytelling. Rather than creating separate stories, the writers constructed a single intricate mystery, each adding new complications while respecting the clues established by earlier contributors. The result remains one of the most unusual achievements in detective fiction.
