Interesting introduction by A.A. Milne to his novel The Red House Mystery regarding what makes a good detective story.
A.A. Milne is best known as the author of Winnie-the-Pooh. However he was well known playwright and poet before his earlier work was overshadowed by his children's books success.
Lots of on the money insights in this novella by comedian and actor Steve Martin.
pickI originally read this novel on holiday back in 2003. I re read it recently and found it to be entertaining chick lit. A little more high brow than the average and both a number of laugh out loud and poignant moments make this an enjoyable light read. 3.5/5
I think a lot of us can relate to the quote above! Minus the husband for me though 😉

My book haul for today! I have read The Housekeeper and the Professor before, but only an ebook version. Loved it, so wanted a tree book version of it for my shelves.
