Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins is a reissue of one of literature s most audacious and thought-provoking novels of murder and intrigue, in hardback with its 1929 cover design and a brand new introduction. London lawyer Gabriel John Utterson is persuaded to investigate the sinister activities of the dastardly Mr Edward Hyde. He becomes convinced that Hyde is blackmailing his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and that a master criminal is at work. To his horror, Utterson discovers that the doctor s own researches into the duality of human nature have unleashed a murderous sociopath and set in motion a deadly chain of events that threatens to overwhelm him. Published in January 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson s crime fantasy was an immediate success, inspiring more than 100 stage and film adaptations and becoming one of the best-known stories ever written. It was reissued in the Detective Story Club in 1929 for being without equal in the realm of detective fiction . This Detective Story Club classic is introduced by supernatural and detective fiction researcher Richard Dalby. It includes Stevenson s macabre tales Markheim and The Body Snatcher, plus two of the earliest published Jekyll and Hyde parodies the detective story Dr Jekyl by Robert McLaughlin (1931) and a bizarre Untold Sequel by Francis Little (1890). The Detective Story Club, launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers."

No one witnessed anyone entering or leaving, and the only unwatched entrance to the apartment building was bolted from the inside. Who could have killed the Canary in her locked cage?

Book excerpt: The Red House Mystery by A. A. Milne The Red House Mystery is a novel by A. A. Milne about the mysterious death of Robert Ablett inside the house of his brother, Mark Ablett, while a party was in progress. It is a detective novel with a simple story skillfully told. Milne is best known for his works on Winnie the Pooh, but before he became famous for telling stories about this teddy bear, he also garnered praise for "The Red House Mystery". The novel is set during a house party in Mark Ablett's mansion known as the "red house". Mark had many guests at the party including a widow and her daughter, an actress and a young man named Bill. While the party was underway, Mark's lost brother Robert arrived at the house and was soon found dead. Then suddenly the guests noticed that Mark was missing. Anthony Gillingham, a very interesting man who just went home to visit his friend Bill, acted as a crime "investigator". The two "detectives", Antony and Bill, continued to "investigate" the crime and find out who committed it. It will be up to the readers to classify who among them is Watson and who is Holmes. Milne did a great job of telling the story in a very light and fun way. Readers will appreciate this book not for the originality or complicated storyline found in other detective novels. They will enjoy reading it because of the interesting characters and humor contained in the story. This is a good read for people who are looking for a detective novel that is a fun and light book to read. The Red House Mystery is a novel by A. A.
