A classic Golden Age locked-room cozy mystery by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh -- hailed as one of the "20 Best Classic Murder Mystery Books of All Time (Town & Country, 2023)

"Has the pacing equivalent of perfect pitch . . . and spiced with funny comments on the clichés of the mystery novel" -- Molly Young, The New York Times (2024)

In a quaint English country house, the exuberant Mark Ablett has been entertaining a house party, but the festivities are rudely interrupted by the arrival of Mark's wayward brother, Robert, home from Austalia. Even worse, not long after his arrival the long-lost brother is found dead, shot through the head, and Mark is nowhere to be found. It is up to amateur detective Tony Gillingham and his pal Bill to investigate.

Between games of billiards and bowls, the taking of tea and other genteel pursuits, Tony and Bill attempt to crack the perplexing case of their host's disappearance and its connection to the mysterious shooting. Can the pair of sleuths solve the Red House mystery in time for their afternoon game of croquet?

The Red House Mystery marked Milne's first and final venture into the detective genre, despite the book's immediate success. Praised by Raymond Chandler and renowned critic Alexander Woolcott, this gem of classic Golden Age crime sparkles with witty dialogue, an intriguing cast of characters, and a brilliant plot.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) is best known as the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh tales, written for his son, Christopher Robin. By 1925, Milne had published eighteen plays and three novels, including The Red House Mystery. The Red House Mystery, often cited as one of the greatest mysteries ever written, is his only mystery novel.
