Characters in The Seven Dials Mystery

Supporting characters

• Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent

  Quick-witted and fearless, she refuses the official verdict and pursues the mystery on her own initiative.

• Lord Caterham

  Provides dry comic relief and a reluctant base of operations for his daughter's escapades.

• Jimmy Thesiger

  Cheerful and apparently idle, he becomes one of Bundle's chief companions in the search.

• Loraine Wade

  Presented as a gentle, sympathetic figure caught up in the deaths around her.

• George Lomax

  Self-important and easily flustered, he is a frequent target of the younger characters' mockery.

• Bill Eversleigh

  Works in Lomax's office and lends loyal, if not always shrewd, help to the inquiry.

• Superintendent Battle

  Stolid and unreadable, he works in parallel with the amateurs while keeping his own counsel.

• Gerry Wade

  His death by apparent overdose, surrounded by alarm clocks, sets the whole plot in motion.

• Ronny Devereux

  His fate sharpens Bundle's resolve and ties the deaths to the Seven Dials.

• Countess Anna Radzky

  Her presence adds an air of continental mystery and possible danger to the house party.

• Sir Oswald Coote

  Brusque and acquisitive, he and his wife host the fateful weekend gathering.
