  • "Far from the benign and humorous escapades in his famous Hundred Acre Wood, A.A. Milne brings to The Red House Mystery all the suspense of a classic whodunit -- an unexpected visitor, a mysterious murder, a secret passageway, a beautiful woman, and a suspicious valet. But when a guest at the inn becomes a self-appointed "Sherlock Holmes" and acquires his own, personal "Dr. Watson," some intriguing evidence comes to light! Written for an audience of teens and adults, this fresh edition of a classic detective thriller establishes the marvelous versatility of its famous author for a new generation of readers. - Back cover."
  • "A refreshing blend of wit and intrigue, A.A. Milne's only mystery novel is a masterpiece. Mark Ablett is not really a snob, not the worst kind of snob, at least. He simply prefers artists to everyone else, and the discussion of his own creative abilities to any other talk whatsoever. His vanities are easily forgiven especially since he is generous with his money inherited not from his clergyman father but from a neighborhood spinster who took a liking to him and he is always willing to play the host at the Red House, his delightful country estate. One lazy summer morning, as his guests enjoy breakfast before a round of golf, Mark opens a surprising letter. His brother Robert, the black sheep of the family, gone some fifteen years now, is back from Australia and plans to call at the Red House that very afternoon. It is the first that Mark's friends and servants have heard of a brother, but that shock is nothing compared to what happens next: After being shown into an empty office ..."@en
