	The Secret of Chimneys Review and price (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Chimneys is a place where a murder occurs, in one of the best Agatha Christie murder mysteries ever.
		The Secret of Chimneys carries forward a character from one of Christie's previous thrillers, Superintendent Battle, and adds the delightful Lord Caterham, his daughter Bundle, and their estate of The Chimneys (all to make further appearances).
		Her love of secret societies overturning the government was ever slightly toned down and humanized and she added her lighter, comedic touches in the Tommy and Tuppence style with her great use of estates and manor houses.

		It is apparently an adaptation of her early novel The Secret of Chimneys, published in 1925, and was intended for a production in London in 1931 that never took place.
		However, the novel The Secret of Chimneys remains well-known to Agatha Christie addicts.
		Chimneys marks the first appearance of the stoic Battle in Christie’s dramatic canon.

	The Seven Dials Mystery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In it, Christie brings back the characters from an earlier novel, The Secret of Chimneys, Lady Eileen (Bundle) Caterham, Bill Eversleigh and Superintendent Battle, as the detectives.
		The story begins in the mansion Chimneys, which is owned by the Caterhams, but rented by the Cootes for a few weeks.
		Also, seven of the clocks (or dials) had been arranged on the mantleshelf and one was thrown out of the window.

		Chimneys is the palatial home of the Marquis of Caterham and his charming daughter Eileen, better known as Bundle.
		The stately English home, Chimneys, is the focus of where the agents, the intrigue, and the paperwork are supposed to arrive.
		How anything could be "mysterious" at Chimneys amazes me because there was such a large cast, I would think no one had enough privacy to paint their fingernails, let alone murder someone.

		Perhaps that is why works written then, such as Secret of Chimneys have such a fresh, rich feel.
		He is drawn to Chimneys, a fine old British manor, where a prince of Herzoslavakia (Dame Agatha did always have a way of making up Balkan states willy-nilly to suit her purposes) is negotiating oil rights with a business that will help him overthrow the republic and reclaim his "rightful" throne.
		Secret of Chimneys is lacking any of Christie's famous detectives.

		First published in 1925, The Secret of Chimneys is one of Agatha Christie's earlier works and it involves a little bit of everything including murder, flmail, thievery, espionage, and a shooting or two.

	THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS summary
		I've read and re-read "The Secret of Chimneys" several times, and I still consider it one of Agatha Christie's two best novels (along with "The Man in the Brown Suit").
		I like Poirot and Marple, but while others may disagree, I believe Christie is at her most entertaining in novels like "Chimneys," where the standard sleuths are absent.
		And, unlike a previous reviewer of "Chimneys," I don't think the characters were too numerous to keep track of.

		Idle rich young folk are houseguests at country house Chimneys (revisited-see: "The Secret of Chimneys") that is being rented by noveau riche Lord Cootes for the summer.
		The Seven Dials Mystery takes a few characters from the thriller/comedy Secret of Chimneys and finishes up their romantic storylines, as it were.
		It takes Agatha Christie's usual secret society silliness and tweaks it a little while she, for a change, pooks fun at the genre of which she has been such a part in the twenties.

		If Agatha Christie's THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS had been written in the 1890s instead of the 1920s, we might actually regard it as a classic of its kind.
		The English of Christie's age and background tended to have an 'Empire' mentality, and a sense of national and racial superiority was often the result--and it is seen in the works of many English mystery writers of the 1920s and 1930s.
		There are mysterious memoirs, scandalous letters, flmail, missing jewels, secret passages, a body in a trunk, and gunshots at night.

		In his first adventure, The Secret of Chimneys, the Superintendent is concerned with a missing packet of letters – and their vital connection to murder and control of the throne of Herzoslovakia.
		In The Seven Dials Mystery Battle returns to Chimneys, the sprawling country house with a dark secret, to investigate the existence of a secret organisation and the numerous deaths linked to it.

		In its contemporary political unrest, Syldavia bears a striking resemblance to another fictional land, "Herzoslovakia," the Balkan homeland of Agatha Christie's villainous Boris Anchoukoff in The Secret of Chimneys, a land, by Christie's account, of violence, brigandry, and mystery, a country where the national "hobby" is "assassinating kings and having revolutions."
		Yet even as Hergé and Christie assume that they know something fundamental about the Balkans—indeed, that they know the Balkans so well that they can effortlessly construct fictional Balkan worlds—both Herzoslovakia and Syldavia point to an even more pervasive, and apparently contradictory, assumption about southeastern Europe.
