The story involves a series of murders taking place in a wealthy neighborhood of New York. The first murder, of a Mr. Joseph Cochrane Robin who is found pierced by an arrow, is accompanied by a note signed "The Bishop" with an extract from the nursery rhyme Who Killed Cock Robin. This crime takes place at the home of an elderly physicist with a beautiful young ward and a private archery range. District Attorney Markham finds the circumstances so unusual that he asks his friend Philo Vance to advise upon the psychological aspects of the crime. Further murders connected with the family and neighbours of the physicist are accompanied with similar extracts from Mother Goose, such as the case of Johnny Sprigg, "who was shot through the middle of his wig, wig, wig." Midway through the book, an elderly woman confesses to the crimes, but this possibility is discounted by the police for physical reasons and by Philo Vance for psychological ones. The kidnapping and confinement of a little Miss Moffatt is luckily discovered by Vance and the police before the child suffocates in the closet in which she has been locked. Vance finally realizes the significance of one character's pointed reference to The Pretenders, a play written by Henrik Ibsen. Bishop Arnesson, of Oslo, was a prominent character in Ibsen's play. Vance arranges a spectacular finale in which the criminal is poisoned by a glass of liqueur which that person prepared for another suspect.
范达因(S.S.Van Dine),美国推理小说之父,《菲洛·万斯探案集》是他惟一的代表作,也是古典推理小说的集大成之作。他将推理小说中的理性成分演绎到极至,这个成就“前无古人,后无来者”。范达因所撰写的《推理小说二十条守则》是推理小说史上最全面、最完整、最严谨的写作戒律,同时也被奎恩等后来者奉为指导其毕生写作的“圣经”。
被b评价为很差劲,可我看完了却觉得还好,就是一本中规中矩的侦探小说罢了。各个该有的要素都算齐全,情节也算曲折,结果也算出人意料同时在前文中做好了铺垫。手法的痕迹不重,主要的分析对象是心理。只是对数学家心理的描写我不怎么喜欢,数学家就一定是性格乖僻的人吗?...
评分就trick而言,没有什么不可能犯罪;就plot而言,没有什么很激动人心的剧情;就character而言,范达因一向不乐意努力刻画人物;但纵使它貌似缺乏让人激动的元素,却让我看得非常爽!现实的案件大多不是不可能犯罪,也没有一段诡谲离奇的过去,这就是一件最日常、可行性非常高的...
评分 评分范达因给侦探小说订立的规矩,其最直接后果是侦探小说中的角色们的心理活动无法展示。因为一展示就可能影响解密。 也正是因为这点,个人以为这是大多数侦探小说最大的不幸。没有各种角色们的心理活动,人物就跟扑克牌一般,只是一张作者手中的牌而已。没法赋予他们个性与色彩...
评分长篇的本格推理作品很容易给人啰嗦拖沓的感觉,那这本书绝对是其中的拖沓之王。 永远一同出动的四人侦探团,总是没完没了的询问证人,推理成分少的可怜。菲洛万斯这个侦探实在太废柴了,不等到凶手杀过瘾绝对不出手,他存在的唯一价值就是帮凶手做注解。 范达因前一部《格林家...
