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.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

A. A. Milne (Alan Alexander) was born in London in 1882 and educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1902 he was Editor of Granta, the University magazine, and moved back to London the following year to enter journalism. By 1906 he was Assistant Editor of Punch, a post which he held until the beginning of the First World War when he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. While in the army in 1917 he started on a career writing plays of which his best known are Mr. Pim Passes By, The Dover Road and an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows - Toad of Toad Hall. He married Dorothy de Selincourt in 1913 and in 1920 had a son, Christopher Robin. By 1924 Milne was a highly successful playwright, and published the first of his four books for children, a set of poems called When We Were Very Young, which he wrote for his son. This was followed by the storybook Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926, more poems in Now We Are Six (1927) and further stories in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). In addition to his now famous works, Milne wrote many novels, volumes of essays, a well known detective story The Red House Mystery and light verse, works which attracted great success at the time. He continued to be a prolific writer until his death in 1956.
