One bright spring morning in London, Diana Cowper – the wealthy mother of a famous actor - enters a funeral parlor. She is there to plan her own service.
Six hours later she is found dead, strangled with a curtain cord in her own home.
Enter disgraced police detective Daniel Hawthorne, a brilliant, eccentric investigator who’s as quick with an insult as he is to crack a case. Hawthorne needs a ghost writer to document his life; a Watson to his Holmes. He chooses Anthony Horowitz.
Drawn in against his will, Horowitz soon finds himself a the center of a story he cannot control. Hawthorne is brusque, temperamental and annoying but even so his latest case with its many twists and turns proves irresistible. The writer and the detective form an unusual partnership. At the same time, it soon becomes clear that Hawthorne is hiding some dark secrets of his own.
3.5星 因為現代偵探小說難寫而鼓勵0.5星。和喜鵲類似,作者仍采用瞭兩個故事相扣的設計,可惜的是第一個故事和最後的謀殺案相差太遠。不過第一個故事(車禍謎團)更有趣,頗有阿婆的小說韻味。
評分齣於對Magpie Murders的喜愛讀完瞭這本,結果遠不如前者啊。為瞭消減本格案件置身當代倫敦的違和感,同樣是在敘述手法上玩花樣,喜鵲是用“作中作”,這係列看來是打算一路走“元小說”風。案件本身中規中矩,red herring是常規套路,凶手時間綫那塊明顯玩脫瞭,最後認凶的大場麵也不夠份量。唯一的亮點大概是散落書中的所有真實人物,斯皮爾伯格和丁丁曆險記那段怎麼看怎麼像發自肺腑的吐槽。
評分非常非常可愛,希望能寫成係列,偵探先生身上還有很多謎團呢~
評分:(
評分It was engaging enough. The ending is weak - just a bit too cute for my liking. Some savage turns of phrase: ... he was curiously unattractive. It was as if he had become a bad photograph of himself.
不得不承认,Anthony Horowitz是一位非常聪明的作家。在我为Alex Rider系列愈发无趣而惋惜、以为他已江郎才尽之时,无意中发现了这本小说,写得如此精巧,让我忍不住边读边击节叫好。 先说说互文性。其实每个当代小说家想要创新都十分艰难,因为,正如“我”在小说中所说,单是...
