Pagan revelry and morris dancing in the middle of a very cold winter set the scene for one of Ngaio Marsh’s most fascinating murder mysteries.
When the pesky Anna Bünz arrives at Mardian to investigate the rare survival of folk-dancing still practised there, she quickly antagonizes the villagers. But Mrs Bünz is not the only source of friction – two of the other enthusiasts are also spoiling for a fight.
When the sword dancers’ traditional mock beheading of the Winter Solstice becomes horribly real, Superintendent Roderick Alleyn finds himself faced with a case of great complexity and of gruesome proportions…
Off with His Head is a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh; it is the nineteenth novel to feature Roderick Alleyn, and was first published in 1957. The plot concerns a village festival in the English countryside, and features Morris dancing among other folkloric elements. The novel was published as Death of a Fool in the United States, a reference to the fact that the murder victim is playing a Fool in the festival.
The novel is classed as a locked room mystery.
感谢民翻,怪奇的民俗和不可能犯罪相结合一向是我很接受的题材。本书的话气氛和节奏把握的都不错,看完后细细想来,诡计还真挺合理的。就是这种形式的伏笔流我自己不太喜欢,读解答篇的时候觉得不太舒畅。
评分感谢民翻!小说节奏实在是慢,开头进入案件迟,中间查案各种家长里短,不过这也是古典英式推理的特色,但于我而言阅读热情在解答前就消耗得差不多了,最后解答中规中矩吧。
评分Alleyn探长系列19,广义密室佳作。NgaioMarsh少有的精彩地融合了民俗文化传说和不可能犯罪的异色之作。手法简洁大胆,结合了一点巧合的即时性犯罪,凶手不难猜,动机略弱。前半部气氛极佳Carr迷最爱,情节开展较快,第四章出现尸体,第五章Alleyn登场查看现场和尸体,接下来进入(漫长的)家访环节,但可以忍受不算太无聊,人物、冲突和误导设置基本走的是欧美古典推理固有模式。解答基本没有推理,靠两条伏线破解诡计。
评分絮絮叨叨的叙事风格可以与阿婆一般的作品相比,然而读者总会看在阿婆那几部经典的份上不予过多计较,马许则没那么好运了。犯案过程有点儿迷糊,也许原文就是如此,结尾解答偏弱,连带读者也掉进坑里去。
评分感谢民翻。
