The Wife of the Secretary of State

Description

The Wife of the Secretary of State is a suspenseful political fiction and espionage novel written and published by Ella Middleton Tybout in 1905.

The story of the book revolves around the disappearance of some diplomatic documents called the Rouschuk papers. Safekeeping the documents was the responsibility of the State Secretary, but he has no idea where the papers have gone or who has taken them. To make matters worse, he notices that his wife is behaving strangely – he suspects the reason for her behavior is something that happened in her past, something that he has never questioned her about out of love and respect for her.

As the mystery is being gradually solved, even stranger mysteries appear such as the relationship between the wife of the secretary of state and a Russian aristocrat, count Vladimir. It is not only the file that is gone missing – there are people missing, too, so the quest for the missing documents intersects with the quest for the people who have disappeared as well. Events speed up, everything gets even more complicated, but all the mysteries will become elucidated by the end.

The Wife of the Secretary is an extraordinary political thriller, written in elegant style and populated by very exciting, complex characters. The story has all the ingredients of a captivating thriller: secrets from the past of the characters, documents that contain even more secrets that may explode anytime if the documents get into the wrong hands, cruel characters and kindly ones and a succession of events that is in nobody’s power and competence to influence.

If you happen to be a fan of the genre or you are looking for a great story to see if you like political thrillers, Ella Middleton Tybout’s story is certainly among the best choices possible, providing great entertainment.
