TRY A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY A classic murder mystery from the world famous author of Winnie-the-Pooh, beautifully re-issued for a whole new audience of A.A. Milne fans and crime lovers alike.
TRY A VINTAGE MURDER MYSTERY
Far from the gentle slopes of the Hundred Acre Wood lies The Red House, the setting for A.A Milne's only detective story, where secret passages, uninvited guests, a sinister valet and a puzzling murder lay the foundations for a classic crime caper.
Classic crime, at its very best.
With a new introduction by Gyles Brandreth.
The Red House is a country residence far removed from the world of the Hundred Acre Wood but its story has much of the same charm and wit. There is, of course, a murder, and when the local police fail to solve the crime, an amateur sleuth readily steps in. What follows is a delightful whodunnit with humour, excitement and a suitably surprising twist at the end.
A. A. Milne loved detective stories and pays homage to Sherlock Holmes in his detective - the clever and charismatic Anthony Gillingham- and his assistant, Bill Beverley. This is classic crime at its very best.
