The Red House Mystery

A classic detective story from the much-loved creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.

The Red House Mystery is a clever whodunnit set in a countryside mansion during a hot English summer. Consistently popular since its publication in 1922, this is bestselling author A.A. Milne’s only crime novel.

One August afternoon at the home of wealthy Mark Ablett, guests and staff overhear a frantic commotion behind a locked study door. Amateur sleuth Antony Gillingham rushes to break down the window, and when he bursts into the room a stranger lies dead before him.

Mark Ablett is nowhere to be found. His devoted secretary Cayley confirms Mark was expecting a visit from an estranged brother. The local police arrive, but in the meantime Antony and his friend Bill agree to do some sleuthing and solve the murder.

What follows is a classic mystery tale, starring a dogged detective and loyal sidekick who pull off high-stakes ruses, spy on Cayley’s suspicious movements and hide all knowledge of clues and evidence until the very last minute.
