範達因(S.S.Van Dine),美國推理小說之父,《菲洛·萬斯探案集》是他惟一的代錶作,也是古典推理小說的集大成之作。他將推理小說中的理性成分演繹到極至,這個成就“前無古人,後無來者”。範達因所撰寫的《推理小說二十條守則》是推理小說史上最全麵、最完整、最嚴謹的寫作戒律,同時也被奎恩等後來者奉為指導其畢生寫作的“聖經”。
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.
之前有人向我介绍说,就剧情而言,本作是范达因六字母系列里面最好的一本,读完发现确实挺有意思,故事很有戏剧性,波折不断,误导做得也还好,加上对范达因没有足够的重视,后期上了作者大当。以前听人说范达因节奏偏缓,但无论怎样,至少这本节奏是中等的,不算慢。 本作风格...
評分《鹅妈妈童谣》绝对是一本被诅咒的儿歌集,由于充斥着很多血腥暴力的内容,使得它成为不少推理小说的创作素材,甚至还有了“童谣杀人模式”。阿婆最喜欢用鹅妈妈童谣做文章,而范达因也将其中的《谁杀死了知更鸟》作为本书的“致命童谣”,凶手按照童谣里唱到的内容去安排杀人...
評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...
評分这书很一般,每次侦探怀疑谁,那个人就死了,到最后涉案人员快死光了,才把案子破了,而且直到最后,侦探也没有掌握什么决定性的证据,仅仅是通过心理学的分析猜测出来的。 不过这书算是童谣杀人鼻祖,作者还提出了20条守则,文中关于科学家都是心理变态的分析也很有意思,为后...
