A classic crime caper and locked-room whodunit from A. A. Milne, the author of Winnie-the-Pooh -- perfect for fans of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and P.G. Wodehouse
This gem of classic Golden Age crime sparkles with witty dialogue, an intriguing cast of colourful characters, an irresistible setting and a brilliant plot.
In a quaint English country house, the exuberant Mark Ablett has been entertaining a house party, but the festivities are rudely interrupted by the arrival of Mark's wayward brother, Robert, home from Austalia. Even worse, not long after his arrival the long-lost brother is found dead, shot through the head, and Mark is nowhere to be found. It is up to amateur detective Tony Gillingham and his pal Bill to investigate.
Between games of billiards and bowls, the taking of tea and other genteel pursuits, Tony and Bill attempt to crack the perplexing case of their host's disappearance and its connection to the mysterious shooting. Can the pair of sleuths solve the Red House mystery in time for their afternoon game of croquet?
The Red House Mystery marked Milne's first and final venture into the detective genre, despite book's immediate success. Renowned critic Alexander Woolcott called it one of the three finest mystery stories of all time, while even Raymond Chandler, who disliked traditional cozy puzzle mysteries on principle, admitted that it was an acknowledged masterpiece of the genre.
