Bring the Monkey : A Light Novel (1933) is a crime/mystery novel by Australian writer Miles Franklin.

Story outline

This is a mystery novel involving a murder and the theft of jewels from an English country mansion, Tattingwood Hall.

Critical reception

In The West Australian a reviewer noted: "It is something more than a mystery story, however, and might be as aptly described as a highly amusing and clever satire on certain aspects of modern English and American social life, in which a wealthy film artist with an avid love of publicity and an amateur aviator's craze of flying stunts are satirised with rare subtlety. The part which a monkey plays in the story gives it a bizarre flavour and heightens the entertainment of the author's spicy narrative."[1]

While acknowledging the standard setup of the mystery in the novel a reviewer in The News (Adelaide) found that " in her handling of her story, Miss Franklin strikes a note which should arrest the interest of even the most knowledgeable of mystery and story tastes. There is a sophistication and sprightly satirical humor in her style which is as diverting as it is novel in a book of this type."[2]
