This is a vintage murder mystery. Respected crime writer Frank Cairns plots the perfect murder - a murder that he himself will commit. Cairns intends to murder the hit-and-run driver who killed his young son, but when his intended victim is found dead and Cairns becomes the prime suspect, the author insists that he has been framed. An old friend of Cairns calls in private detective Nigel Strangeways, who must unravel a fiendishly plotted mystery if he is to discover what really happened to George Rattery. The Beast Must Die is one of Nicholas Blake's most acclaimed novels and was picked by the Observer as one of the 1,000 novels everyone must read. A Nigel Strangeways murder mystery - the perfect introduction to the most charming and erudite detective in Golden Age crime fiction.

手记的运用颇有意思,虽然凶手人设不算新意【不过可能在当时算是有新意的,毕竟和某名作不一样】,但是对于日记这个部分的使用很有意思,有一种二律背反的感觉,蛮戳我的点,只是诗人大人的文风依旧俊逸,只能给四星
评分带诗人写的推理小说就是会有过于细腻的毛病,层层铺垫只为了最后一章的惊天逆转。Lewis将这本书分为了四个部分,第一部分是男主长达四十篇的日记,足以劝退不少人。第二部分着重描写他实施谋杀的经过,第三部分是常规的家访,最后将前三个串联起来做出解答。剧情和诡计其实相当简单,谜底也并不难猜,但Lewis非常擅长刻画人物和设计人物对话,不管是日记还是家访部分的内容可读性都相当得高。我尤其喜欢Chabrol在电影版中做出的改动,用另一位带诗人苏轼的那一句:小舟从此逝,江海寄余生来形容再合适不过了
评分前面日记部分较为平淡,后半部分节奏加快,开始精彩起来。一个悲伤的故事。
评分杰作无疑。只可惜《为了赖子》后出转精,让这本书多少有些失色。这个架构完全可以处理得更好,或许是囿于时代原因,处理得比较松散,而且不够意外。或许我也应该写本手记题材来致敬一下。
