| Summary |
Far from the benign and humorous escapades in his famous Hundred Acre Wood, A.A. Milne brings to The Red House Mystery all the suspense of a classic whodunit -- an unexpected visitor, a mysterious murder, a secret passageway, a beautiful woman, and a suspicious valet. But when a guest at the inn becomes a self-appointed "Sherlock Holmes" and acquires his own, personal "Dr. Watson," some intriguing evidence comes to light! Written for an audience of teens and adults, this fresh edition of a classic detective thriller establishes the marvelous versatility of its famous author for a new generation of readers. |
