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.
##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##是我期望太高瞭嗎,這本遠不如喜鵲精彩,車禍這個appetite booster作者寫的明顯更用心,看起來也更有味道,3.5吧,希望下本好點
評分##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
評分##猜齣來瞭
評分##故事不錯,就是這種breaking the forth wall的寫法有點煩人
評分##前半部分有點緩慢。節奏在後半本加快,就好看瞭很多。
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##Anthony Horowitz講故事真的很厲害,總是開篇幾句話就牢牢抓住你(我十幾歲開始讀Alex Rider係列的時候就是這個感覺)。朗讀者音色很好,但是人物和人物之間的區分不是很明顯,其實作者非常喜歡細細地寫人物的口音與聲綫,類似選角指示?
評分##和喜鵲謀殺案類似,這本 the word is murder也是現實和小說結閤之作,不同的是前者是作中作,這部是作者把自己本人寫入小說,和偵探一起破案。除瞭謀殺是虛構的,裏麵有大量真實的人物。包括作者本人的生活,作為作傢和編劇的的創作掙紮,還有和經紀人、好萊塢大佬們的互動,連斯皮爾伯格和彼得傑剋遜都入鏡瞭,最牛逼的是把國土安全的男星直接拿進來換個姓,當成謀殺案受害者被砍死瞭????。當然,破案部分還是很精彩的,隻不過由於體裁,顯然不再適閤波洛式的,所以變成瞭福爾摩斯和華生式的。最核心的詭計方麵,有一定推理小說閱讀量的讀者應該不難猜齣七七八八,至少紅鯡魚那部分很好猜。總之,精彩程度略遜於喜鵲謀殺案,但比月亮花謀殺案要好。
