Of course, the plots of most old mystery novels hinge on farfetched plans, weird coincidences, and generally extraordinarily unlikely events. Not being Raymond Chandler, I don&#;t usually notice. I couldn&#;t help noticing with The Red House Mystery. A Dorothy Sayers novel or an Agatha Christie novel is like a magic trick: the audience doesn&#;t see the magician pulling the card from his sleeve because he has something more interesting for everybody to look at. The audience doesn&#;t particularly want to see the card; it would spoil the show. A. A. Milne is like a stage magician who refuses to do the sleight of hand, perfunctorily walking through the trick as though he&#;s wondering what to have for lunch. Take the cast.
