Version 1.0.0
At a sunny country house weekend, genial host Mark Ablett expects his long-estranged brother from Australia. Yet minutes after the man arrives, a gunshot cracks the afternoon calm. The visitor lies dead in Mark’s study, the door locked from the inside, and Mark himself has vanished.
Enter Tony Gillingham, a cheerful outsider with a taste for puzzles, and his Watson-ish friend Bill Beverley. Together they pick through alibis, footprints, and the peculiar geometry of The Red House—where servants’ corridors, hidden angles, and social niceties conspire to hide a chillingly tidy plan.
A golden-age country-house murder with a locked-room sting and two amateurs whose banter is as sharp as their deductions — this is comfort-read crime that still plays fair.
For readers who crave charming deduction, light humor, and a mystery that rewards careful attention, The Red House Mystery is a timeless delight.
