Did Harold Vickers, the best-selling author of impossible crimes foresee his own death, or did he possibly even arrange it? When two guests knock on her door with dinner invitations, Mrs. Vickers is dumbfounded, for her husband has been locked in his study for several days. Yet there are sounds and cooking smells emanating from the room, and when the door is broken down, a dead body resembling her husband is slumped over the fully-laden dinner table with its hands and face in a pan in which the oil is still boiling. The room is sealed and nobody could have got out of the room without being seen, yet the food is still cooking. A mysterious half-filled bowl of water sits beneath the shuttered windows. What connection is there with the death of his own father, who also died slumped over the table and promised to return from the grave to revenge his own death? Or the Lonely Hearts killer who recently terrorized London before committing suicide.
This is LRI’s eleventh Paul Halter translation. The author, a best-selling novelist in his native France, has written over thirty novels, almost all ‘locked room’ or ‘impossible crime,’ and is widely regarded as the successor to John Dickson Carr. He appeared on BBC Radio 4’s program ‘Miles Jupp in a Locked Room,’ broadcast on May 21, 2012. An earlier novel ‘The Crimson Fog’ was named one of Publisher’s Weekly’s Top Mysteries of 2013. Locked Room International also translates and publishes the works of other international impossible crime authors past and present.

感謝民翻!!死亡邀約,小細節起大作用,最簡單的方法往往最有效,然而天上謎麵地上解答,多重僞解答反轉亦故弄玄虛,無麵屍詭計不及昨日所看橫溝正史《黑貓酒館事件》有新意,失意的偵探小說傢是霍爾特自況麽,
評分沒什麼大的缺點。謎麵有趣,有灌水但也能說是誤導,以及Henrietta這瘋丫頭很Gothic適閤拿來製造氣氛,卻也間接導緻解謎反而是讀著最無聊的,尤其最大的噱頭卻是以一種稍無賴的方式圓上的。水準綫上的作品,但不推薦給密室愛好者。
評分三星半,密室的氛圍渲染還不錯,可惜解答既笨拙又粗暴,門與窗的問題解釋得不好,另外兩起謀殺就為瞭混淆及湊數,孿生子詭計發展到今天真難玩齣花樣,鴨子提示要有一定想象力,掉瞭一地鴨毛……
評分謎麵不錯,謎底是不是犯規瞭啊
評分霍爾特最擅拿捏的故事推進節奏在這部早期作品中沒有得到很好體現,甚至顯得有些冗長,灌水有點多瞭。謎麵雖然很有趣但解答基本是糊弄過去瞭,好在關於密室的兩個解答還算有亮點,無麵屍身份的三重反轉也很扣人心弦,還有霍爾特各種有意思的吐槽,比如坡祖師爺啊,愛德華七世啊。逐漸受到讀者冷落的作傢仿佛就是霍爾特這一代古典推理小說捍衛者的真實寫照。3.5
