The Red House Mystery

🔎 The Plot

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.

🧨 The Hook

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.
