''This droll whodunit from the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh sparkles with witty dialogue, deft plotting, and an amusing cast. In between taking tea and playing billiards, an amateur detective and his chum investigate their genial host's disappearance. A series of lighthearted capers ensues, replete with secret passageways, underwater evidence, and other atmospheric devices.'' GOODREADS
''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.'' LIBRARY JOURNAL
"...one of the three best mystery stories of all time." ALEXANDER WOLCOTT
"...an agreeable book, light, amusing in the Punch style, written with a deceptive smoothness that is not as easy as it looks." RAYMOND CHANDLER
