Summary: "The Seven Secrets" by William Le Queux is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the mysterious murder of an elderly gentleman, Mr. Courtenay, who is found stabbed in his bed. The narrative is primarily centered on the protagonist, Dr. Boyd, who finds himself entangled in a web of suspicion involving the deceased man's young wife, Mrs. Courtenay, and her sister, Ethelwynn, as he attempts to unravel the truth. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Dr. Ralph Boyd, who shares his growing sense of unease and suspicion with his friend, Ambler Jevons. This anxiety peaks when Dr. Boyd receives a late-night summons to the Courtenay household, only to discover that Mr. Courtenay has been murdered. The initial investigations reveal a locked house with no signs of forced entry, leading to the conclusion that the murderer is likely someone within the household. As the story progresses, Dr. Boyd grapples with his feelings for Ethelwynn while uncovering secrets that point to dark motivations amidst the strained relationships within the Courtenay family, setting the stage for a gripping and intricate investigation into crime and deceit.
