"The Seven Secrets" by William Le Queux is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious murder of an elderly gentleman, Mr. Courtenay, who is found stabbed in his bed. The narrative centers primarily on the protagonist, Dr. Ralph Boyd, who becomes entangled in a web of suspicion involving the deceased man's young wife, Mrs. Courtenay, and her sister, Ethelwynn, as he attempts to uncover the truth.
At the beginning of the book, we are introduced to Dr. Boyd, who shares his growing sense of unease and suspicion with his friend, Ambler Jevons.

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.
