Summary

When ne'er-do-well Robert Ablett is found dead at his brother's idyllic country house, a crime of passion or an unfortunate accident seem the most obvious explanations. But to dapper would-be sleuth Antony Gillingham, the death – and the baffling disappearance of the man of the house – suggests a far stranger story. Eagerly assisted by his friend Bill Beverley – the Watson to his Holmes – Gillingham sets out to discover the truth.

This was A. A. Milne's first and last – though successful – true venture into crime writing, a genre he declared a passion for. Light-hearted and gently suspenseful, The Red House Mystery is brilliantly crafted to offer the reader pleasure in both following Gillingham's methods and attempting to outwit him.
