The Mystery of the Hidden Room by Marion Harvey
"The Mystery Of The Hidden Room" by Marion Harvey is a murder mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The plot centers around Carlton Davies, a man who finds himself embroiled in a web of deception and intrigue after receiving a desperate note from his former love, Ruth, who is married to the wealthy Philip Darwin. As events unfold, Darwin is found dead shortly after a confrontation with Ruth, leading to
a tense investigation where various suspects, including Ruth and the manipulative secretary Orton, are scrutinized. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Carlton's deep emotional conflict stemming from his past relationship with Ruth and the situation regarding her brother, who is wanted for murder. Carlton is drawn back into Ruth's troubled life through her frantic note. When he arrives at the Darwin home, he discovers her in a dire situation—a murder has occurred, and the supposed culprit is Ruth herself, holding the murder weapon. The opening chapters set up an intense atmosphere of mystery, raising questions about motivations, innocence, and the hidden complexities of relationships, making the story compelling for readers who enjoy suspenseful narratives filled with emotional depth.
