Classic crime at its very best! To be read and reread.
If you are a fan of Golden Age English crime novels, or interested in the development of the crime novel as a literary form, or you just enjoy a good ol’ cosy mystery à la Agatha Christie, you will undoubtedly enjoy The Red House Mystery.
It has it all; the country house, the witty dialogue, the tight plotting, superb writing, … Oh it’s a proper treat!
I’m extremely grateful to NetGalley for bringing to my attention and giving me access to A.A. Milne’s one and only crime novel, which I had never come across before.
