Milne A. A. The Red House Mystery
Алан Милн - известен в первую очередь как литературный отец Винни Пуха, однако даже оглушительный успех историй про медведя с опилками в голове не затмил славы романа "Тайна Красного дома" - прекрасного образца классического английского детектива. В кабинете Красного дома найден убитым брат хозяина, а сам хозяин бесследно исчезает. Случайный гость, заглянувший навестить приятеля, начинает распутывать это загадочное дело… Автор сам дает рецепт идеального детектива: хороший литературный язык, минимум любовной интриги, чтобы не замедлять действие, сыщик-любитель, мысли и поступки которого понятны читателю, и его верный оруженосец - этакий Ватсон. Все это вы найдете в "Тайне Красного дома" - романе с закрученным сюжетом, глубоким психологизмом и изысканным английским юмором.

Milne A. A. The Red House Mystery
Far from the gentle slopes of the Hundred Acre Wood lies The Red House, the setting for A.A Milne's only detective story, where secret passages, uninvited guests, a sinister valet and a puzzling murder lay the foundations for a classic crime caper. And when the local police prove baffled, it is up to a guest at a local inn to appoint himself 'Sherlock Holmes' and, together with his friend and loyal 'Watson', delve deeper into the mysteries of the dead man. The Red House Mystery is a lost gem from a time before Tigger and a perfectly crafted whodunit with witty dialogue, deft plotting and a most curious cast of characters.

Berkeley Anthony The Wintringham Mystery
Republished for the first time in nearly 95 years, a classic winter country house mystery by the founder of the Detection Club, with a twist that even Agatha Christie couldn’t solve! Stephen Munro, a demobbed army officer, reconciles himself to taking a job as a footman to make ends meet. Employed at Wintringham Hall, the delightful but decaying Sussex country residence of the elderly Lady Susan Carey, his first task entails welcoming her eccentric guests to a weekend house-party, at which her bombastic nephew – who recognises Stephen from his former life – decides that an after-dinner seance would be more entertaining than bridge. Then Cicely disappears! With Lady Susan reluctant to call the police about what is presumably a childish prank, Stephen and the plucky Pauline Mainwaring take it upon themselves to investigate. But then a suspicious death turns the game into an altogether more serious affair… This classic winter mystery incorporates all the trappings of the Golden Age – a rambling country house, a seance, a murder, a room locked on the inside, with servants, suspects and alibis, a romance – and an ingenious puzzle. First published as a 30-part newspaper serial in 1926 – the year The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was published, The Wintringham Mystery was written by Anthony Berkeley, founder of the famous Detection Club. Also known as Cicely Disappears, the Daily Mirror ran the story as a competition with a prize of ?500 (equivalent to ?30,000 today) for anyone who guessed the solution correctly. Nobody did – even Agatha Christie entered and couldn’t solve it. Can you?
