Mr. Henry Courtenay is an old and wealthy member of London's elite with health problems is found dead in his bed. However, his illness doesn't seem to be the cause of his death and his main servant claims he was murdered. Dr. Ralph Boyd, the beloved of Mr. Courtenay's sister-in-law, who was present at the house in the time of the mysterious murder, involves his friend detective Ambler Jevons, and they pursue an independent inquiry. Suspects are few, but as the investigation moves forward, Boyd and Jevons are facing secrets and mysteries at every corner.
William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French writer who mainly wrote in the genres of mystery, thriller, and espionage, particularly in the years leading up to World War I. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy “The Great War in England in 1897” and the anti-German invasion fantasy “The Invasion of 1910.”

This is a historical mystery of the "eccentric amateur detective and friend" model - the narrator is a younger doctor who is called to a suspicious death in a house where he has been attending the victim on a regular basis. The whole story spirals out from there, with some pretty unexpected twists and turns (although once you get to the end, it's becoming obvious if you have paid attention).One thing that drove me nuts through the book however is how the narrator kept thinking someone was obviously guilty. Also, even considering the period it was written in, the narrator is misogynistic. Example line: "When I think of all my own little love episodes, and of the ingenious diplomacy to which I have been compelled to resort in order to avoid tumbling into pitfalls set by certain designing Daughters of Eve, I cannot but sympathise with every other medical man who is on the right side of forty and sound of wind and limb."
Still, very worth reading to the end!

THE SEVEN SECRETS British Murder Mystery Whodunit Classic edition by William Le Queux Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Big waste of time. Should have abandoned it after the first chapter. The "surprise" at the end was not worth the time it took to get there.
What a tale. It feels much like a combination of Houdini and Sherlock Holmes, but without the assistance of Dr. Watson.
If mystery is your venue, this must be included in your library having been read.
I found this novel a story that moves along. The characters are involved in depiction and secret movement. Small wonder it took awhile to solve.
I love British murder mysteries and this was not a disappointment. It was a combination of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. I've already purchased another book in this series.
I have read other books by Le Queur and Found them very well written. I heartily recommend this book to those who love mysteries.
Kind of old-fashioned, Sherlock Holmes type mystery. Many plot twists. Well done. Hooked me and kept me reading. Great mystery!
I really enjoyed this book. This is a classic mystery with many twists and surprises. Dr. Boyd has one of his patients die, but the wound inside is impossible for the small outside hole. Boyd got his friend, an investigator, to figure out who killed the old man. Boyd's girlfriend is a suspect. He even sees the dead guy walking around and two other murders are committed. This is a very well written who-done-it with great characters.
