| Summary | "The Red Widow; or, The Death-Dealers of London" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Marigold Ramsay, a young woman who becomes suspicious of the odd behavior of her aunt's employer, Mr. Bernard Boyne, who leads a seemingly double life. As Marigold investigates, she partners with Gerald Durrant, resulting in a thrilling exploration of mystery and danger concealed within the mundane backdrop of London life. The beginning of the book introduces us to Marigold during a conversation with Gerald along the Thames, where she expresses her deep concern for her aunt, who works for Mr. Boyne. This conversation sets the stage for the intrigue, as Marigold recalls witnessing strange occurrences at Boyne's residence, particularly involving a locked attic room. As they delve into the mystery, it becomes evident that there are layers to Mr. Boyne's life, including secretive behavior and a potential hidden identity. The opening portion effectively raises suspense and establishes the main characters' motivations, enticing readers to uncover the puzzling circumstances surrounding Mr. Boyne and the enigma of a life that blurs the lines of respectability and danger.
