The Red House Mystery. By A. A. Milne FULL Audiobook
"The Red House Mystery" is a whodunit novel by A. A. Milne, published in 1922. The story is set in an English country house, where Mark Ablett has been entertaining a house party consisting of a widow and her marriageable daughter, a retired major, a wilful actress, and Bill Beverley, a young man about town. Mark's long-lost brother Robert, the black sheep of the family, arrives from Australia and shortly thereafter is found dead, shot through the head. Mark Ablett has disappeared, so Tony Gillingham, a stranger who has just arrived to call on his friend Bill, decides to investigate. Gillingham plays Sherlock Holmes to his younger counterpart's Doctor Watson; they progress almost playfully through the novel while the clues mount up and the theories abound.
The novel was immediately popular and was praised for its light and amusing style. Alexander Woollcott called it "one of the three best mystery stories of all time" . However, Raymond Chandler criticized Woollcott for that claim, referring to him as "rather a fast man with a superlative" . Chandler wrote of Milne's novel, "It is an agreeable book, light, amusing in the Punch style, written with a deceptive smoothness that is not as easy as it looks [...] Yet, however light in texture the story may be, it is offered as a problem of logic and deduction. If it is not that, it is nothing at all. There is nothing else for it to be. If the situation is false, you cannot even accept it as a light novel, for there is no story for the light novel to be about" .
The novel is a classic example of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, which was characterized by the use of logic and deduction to solve crimes. The Red House Mystery is a cleverly constructed puzzle, with intricate clues and a surprising solution. The novel is also notable for its use of humor and wit, which add to the light and entertaining tone of the story.
In conclusion, "The Red House Mystery" is a delightful and entertaining novel that is sure to please fans of the whodunit genre. Milne's clever use of logic and deduction, combined with his light and amusing style, make this novel a classic of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. I hope this summary helps!.
