Produced by David T. Jones, woodie4, Al Haines & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "The Seven Conundrums" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work revolves around a group of struggling performers—Maurice Lister, Leonard Cotton, and Rose Mindel—who are facing dire circumstances in their careers as entertainers. The story intricately weaves between their desperate situations and mysterious happenings surrounding their enigmatic benefactor, Richard Thomson, who seems to have ulterior motives for helping them. At the start of the novel, the characters find themselves in a precarious position as they wrestle with financial struggles and the fear of failure. After a stormy night in a dilapidated theatre, they encounter Thomson, who offers them unexpected assistance in the form of a sumptuous dinner and a chance for a fresh start. As they engage in lively conversations, their lives take a dramatic turn when Thomson reveals that he has orchestrated events to draw out a dangerous criminal also known as Mountjoy, intertwined with the mystery of a stolen minute book and revolutionary conspiracies. This opening lays the groundwork for a complex narrative filled with intrigue, comic relief, and the promise of deeper conspiracies as the performers navigate their new reality.
