Have you read The Red House Mystery? It's the only detective story by Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A. Milne, and set in an old country house... If you're looking to be genuinely frightened, try The Haunting on Hill House by Shirley Jackson! #AskPenguin https://t.co/JwiOo3NLJT https://t.co/lHlQCZaWvE

Edgar Allan Poe may be responsible for the first ever modern detective story – The Murders in the Rue Morgue. But almost every one of his tales hums with mystery. I adore The Masque of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher. #AskPenguin https://t.co/zzRPuo4EOM https://t.co/rm3dOsVTZK

We recommend Radclyffe Hall's seminal novel, The Well of Loneliness. It was so scandalous it sparked a legal trial for obscenity upon publication in 1928, and subsequently became a huge bestseller. #AskPenguin https://amzn.to/3eSPnvR https://twitter.com/tessahankinson/status/1478684386644135936
