The Red House Mystery is a mystery novel by A. A. Milne, published in 1922. It was Milne's only mystery novel; he is better known for his children's stories like Winnie the Pooh and poems. The Red House is an English country house loaded with guests, including a British major, a willful actress, and a young jock athlete. Tony Gillingham arrives at the Red House moments after a gunshot is heard. The room is locked, the murderer has disappeared and, in Tony's opinion, the police are going about it the wrong way. Antony, who was looking for a new profession anyway, decides to solve the murder himself, with a little help from his friend Bill. The Red House Mystery was immediately popular; Alexander Woollcott called it one of the three best mystery stories of all time, but Raymond Chandler complained that the amateur detective's success comes only because the police are incompetent.
