Clearly I have to work on my enthusiastic voice.  |
It was clear you liked it enough to do it again, but I was a bit concerned whether fantasyfan and Bookworm_Girl would be equally happy ... I guess that's why we do the voting thing.

It's a long while since I last read it. My memory of it is: It's a perfectly good mystery (of it's time), but Milne's naturally lighter tone might make you think he isn't taking it seriously. He is, it's well constructed, it's just his writing always seems (to me) like he's enjoying himself as he writes.
