Book summary

One summer afternoon, in an English country house, the wealthy Mark Ablett is expecting his brother Robert, back from Australia after fifteen years away. Shortly after his arrival, a shot rings out in the locked study. Robert is found dead inside, and Mark has disappeared.

The police suspect Mark. Antony Gillingham, a visitor passing through, carries out his own investigation with his friend Bill, like Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. This detective novel is by A. A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Logically built and told with humour, this puzzle is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
