Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes are back in Laurie R. King’s highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling mystery series. And this time the first couple of detection pair up to unlock the buried memory of a shocking crime with the power to kill again–lost somewhere in Russell’s own past.
After departing Bombay by ship, Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes are en route to the bustling modern city of San Francisco. There, Mary will settle some legal affairs surrounding the inheritance of her family’s old estate. But the closer they get to port, the more Mary finds herself prey to troubling dreams and irrational behavior–a point not lost on Holmes, much to Russell’s annoyance.
In 1906, when Mary was six, San Francisco was devastated by an earthquake and a raging fire that reduced the city to rubble. For years, Mary has denied any memory of the catastrophe that for days turned the fabled streets into hell on earth. But Holmes suspects that some hidden trauma connected with the “unforgettable” catastrophe may be the real culprit responsible for Mary’s memory lapse. And no sooner do they begin to familiarize themselves with the particulars of the Russell estate than it becomes apparent that whatever unpleasantness Mary has forgotten, it hasn’t forgotten her. Why does her father’s will forbid access to the house except in the presence of immediate family? Why did someone break in, then take nothing of any value? And why is Russell herself targeted for assassination?
The more questions they ask of Mary’s past, the more people from that past turn out to have died violent, unexplained deaths. Now, with the aid of a hard-boiled young detective and crime writer named Hammett, Russell and Holmes find themselves embroiled in a mystery that leads them through the winding streets of Chinatown to the unspoken secrets of a parent’s marriage and the tragic car “accident” that a fourteen-year-old Mary alone survived–an accident that may not have been an accident at all. What Russell is about to discover is that even a forgotten past never dies…and it can kill again.

勞拉.金(Laurie R. King),齣生於1952年,美國著名推理小說傢,著作數十部,部部暢銷,其中“瑪麗•羅素與大偵探福爾摩斯”係列令其聲名遠播。
迄今她已斬獲眾多推理界的奬項,堪稱阿加莎•剋裏斯蒂的接班人。這些奬項包括美國偵探作傢協會頒發的全世界偵探小說最權威奬項埃德加•愛倫•坡奬,美國國傢懸疑作品協會頒發的美國最著名推理小說奬項阿加莎奬,英國最重要的文學奬項之一橘子奬,以及尼祿•沃爾夫奬、剋利西奬、麥剋維蒂奬、巴利奬等。
大体上和柯南·道尔的路数差不多,劳拉·金的“福尔摩斯系列”也具有一个特点,就是每个故事之间都多多少少有着联系,并没有截然分开,所以在《上锁的房间》中所涉及到的日本之行以及印度之行,或许还另有故事会详细来讲。虽然那些情节并不至于过多地影响到了对旧金山之行的理...
評分这是我所看的这个推理系列的第四本作品。因为不是按照书中设定的时间线的顺序来读这几本书的,所以未免会有一些时间错乱的感觉。不过这并没有减少这本书对于我的吸引力。 这是一套大侦探福尔摩斯的同人小说。区别于以往柯南道尔笔下对于女性着墨不多的写作手法,在这一系列的故...
評分 評分首先声明,我作为侦探推理忠实粉,深受剧透党祸害,自然不会透露本书核心内容,请放心。 道尔笔下的福尔摩斯在无数经典的案件中,给世人留下了教科书式的经典侦探教程之后却退隐山林当起养蜂人,让我们无限遗憾。我希望福尔摩斯能像名侦探柯南上不完的小学一年级...
