The Red House Mystery is a detective novel by A. A. Milne, better known for his children's writing, who wrote this book for his father in 1922. It is his only mystery novel and was very popular at the time.
Mark Ablett is the amiable host of a country-house party to which his estranged brother, Robert, arrives from Australia. Robert is the black sheep of the family who is said to have borrowed money in the past and had written to warn of his visit. One afternoon a gunshot is heard, and Robert is found shot in the head while locked in the library, while his brother Mark has vanished. Tony Gillingham, who has arrived to visit Bill Beverley, one of the guests at the house-party, takes it upon himself to investigate the death. Together Tony and Bill form a Holmes and Watson partnership and seek to solve the mystery in an unorthodox manner, taking over from a bumbling police force.
The Red House Mystery has divided opinion on its literary merit but it remains an entertaining and intriguing read nonetheless.
Perfect for readers who love classic British mysteries and golden age detective fiction! A.A. Milne's only foray into mystery writing delivers all the charm of a traditional country house whodunit with clever plotting and engaging characters. This timeless tale of family secrets and murder will delight fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.

“From what I've read of detective stories, inspectors always do want to drag the pond first.”
The One and Only Mystery Novel by A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie the Pooh, written in 1922. Instead in "Hundred Acre Wood", it takes place at the "Red House", an estate in the english countryside. The centerpiece and most charming part of the novel is its „detective“, Tony Gillingham. A likeable young man who loves adventure and is fortunately also whip-smart, stumbles surprisingly unto the crime scene, just because he wanted to visit his friend, who is a guest at the „Red House“. Together, they set out to solve the crime while having a lot of fun being „Sherlock and Watson“, a parallel the characters draw themselves. This story is a lot of fun, the enigmatic protagonists and their playful banter are wonderful to read, and together with them, the reader uncovers mysteries and secrets in an entertaining way.
