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”。
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.
作为早期作品,很多手法在当时算开创性的了,细节描写不错,推理也有理有据,但对于我这种动机控来说,作案动机实在太单薄了,支撑不起这么庞大而高风险的连续杀人案。 此外,作者以第一人称写,但是叙述人自身从头到尾如空气般存在,未曾为案情贡献一谋一划,还不如第三人称直...
评分这是我读的第一本范达因的推理小说,虽然都是推理小说,但和柯南道尔的福尔摩斯风格迥异。我觉得范达因的《推理小说二十条守则》写的很好,主教杀人事件也很好的诠释了这个守则。在读的过程中,所有的线索都摆在面前,让读者有一种和主角竞赛破案的感觉。 我觉得主...
评分射箭场血印联想到数学公式带入,最后再以围棋盘推出结果,推理过程很紧凑,象这一类的侦探小说可能只有一口气读完才会刺激的多。也许时间在推着一切事物向前走时,既会在带来好处的同时,也带来了坏处,也会在带来坏处的时候带来好处,毕竟时间不等人
范达因绝对是最没存在感的华生了吧。。
