Milne, A. A.: The Red House Mystery. v1. 11 May 07
Winnie the Pooh? No, but a pretty good mystery according to the sources below:
"Though Milne is immediately associated with Winnie-the-Pooh and pals, he nonetheless wrote a number of adult titles, including this 1922 novel in which guests at a country estate become amateur sleuths when a shooting occurs and all evidence points toward their host."
"Of course it's very hampering being a detective, when you don't know anything about detecting, and when nobody knows that you're doing detection, and you can't have people up to cross-examine them, and you have neither the energy nor the means to make proper inquiries; and, in short, when you're doing the whole thing in a thoroughly amateur, haphazard way. -A.A. Milne (The Red House Mystery)"
Hope you enjoy it.
Please: If you find mistakes, I'll do my best to correct them.
