Summary "The Red House Mystery" by A. A. Milne is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a country house called the Red House, where a murder takes place shortly after the arrival of Mark Ablett's estranged brother, Robert. The narrative introduces various characters, including the charming and witty estate manager Cayley, as well as visitors who become embroiled in the unfolding drama surrounding the murder and its implications. The opening of the book establishes a serene summer day at the Red House, where the atmosphere is disrupted by the shocking discovery of Robert's dead body after a chaotic confrontation. Initially, the setting introduces us to several domestic staff members, particularly Audrey Stevens, who’s involved in the household dynamics and who witnesses the strange interactions related to Robert's arrival. We sense a growing tension among the characters as they react to Robert’s unexpected presence and the ensuing turmoil, leading to a series of mysterious events, including a locked room and chaotic shouts that hint at the tragic incident that disrupts their seemingly tranquil lives.
