About this listen

 "Like all really nice people, you have a weakness for detective stories.... After all that you have done for me, the least that I can do is write one." So wrote A. A. Milne, beloved creator of Winnie the Pooh, to his father, to whom he dedicated this delectable mystery.

Mark Ablett's stately mansion, the Red House, is filled with very proper guests when his most improper brother returns from Australia. The prodigal brother enters Mark's study, the parlor maid hears arguing and the brother dies...rather suddenly, with a bullet between the eyes. The study is locked from the inside and Mark is missing!

Investigating the crime is wealthy Antony Gillingham, who rivals Sherlock Holmes in his remarkable powers of observation. He is aided by the perfect Watson, his friend Bill Beverley, a cheerful young man in white flannels. Echoes of Christopher Robin and his friends chime nostalgically throughout this charming classic of detection!

Beloved for his bear of very little brain, it is interesting to learn how ‘clever’ he could write his characters. Would have enjoyed reading more of his work in this genre.

A surprising change of genre

A Murder Mystery by the author of winnie the pooh. To me, this book contains the same sort of charm that winnie the pooh does. I loved it. It's great to read famous authors touching a genre they are not known for. Fun and charming, can recommend.

Childish superficial and utterly predictable …. And a narrator with a “fruity” (read slurred) utterance means little to be gained from listening

Oh dear - a bear of little brain
