The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne



Amazon | Project Gutenberg

...But why had he expected the door to be shut. He did not remember shutting it, but somehow he he was surprised to see it open now, to see Cayley through the doorway, just coming into the room. Something working subconsciously in his brain had told him that it was surprising. Why?

Humorist and children's author A.A. Milne only wrote one mystery novel, a sprightly, witty country-house murder mystery that leaves one rather wishing he'd written more. The owner of the Red House is found dead in a locked room, and his disreputable brother, who had been seen to enter the room with him, has disappeared—leaving a pair of friends to play amateur detective and figure out just what happened and how.

My review of this book.
