| Summary |
"Lynne Courtin salaisuus" by J. S. Fletcher is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young doctor named Hextall, who is called upon to attend to a woman named Paquita Tress after an incident involving a gunshot wound. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at complicated relationships and unsettling dynamics among a group of individuals, including Paquita's brother and a mysterious acquaintance named Kesteven. The opening of the book introduces Hextall as he struggles to enter his home late at night, only to be interrupted by a frantic messenger seeking medical help for Paquita Tress, who has allegedly shot herself. As Hextall rushes to her aid, the scene quickly reveals tensions and intrigues involving gambling, jealousy, and the potential for deeper deceit amidst the wealthy elite. The incident appears to be more than a mere accident, highlighting underlying motivations and relationships, particularly between Paquita and her brother, Darrell Tress, as well as the enigmatic Kesteven, raising questions about loyalty and betrayal from the very start of the narrative.
