The Red House Mystery

The Red House Mystery is by A.A. Milne. A classic mystery novel by the author of Winnie the Pooh; this was Milne's only mystery novel. In a classic locked room mystery, Tom Gillingham decides to drop in at the Red House to visit a friend who is staying there with the odd millionaire Mark Ablett. He arrives, while the rest of the part is out golfing, to find Ablett's secretary banging on the office door which is locked. When Gillingham and Cay enter, they discover the body of Ablett's brother Robert dead on the floor and Mark Ablett nowhere to be found. A fun read for mystery lovers, especially lovers of Golden Age mysteries. 

Ratings: 9th grade - 9 out of 10.
