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.
##1. 強烈的元小說特點讓這本書在構思上顯得比傳統偵探小說更為“現代”;2.(作為作者和敘述者的)Anthony與前警官Hawthorne的組閤頗有嚮華生與福爾摩斯緻敬的意思;3.懸念、紅鯡魚和反轉的設置巧妙,我腦子笨硬是沒猜齣凶手;4.以及最後一章怎麼寫得那麼可愛!
評分##過分無聊瞭。前兩百四十頁幾乎是全程傢訪...而這裏麵還包含瞭一看就是為瞭進行傢訪纔寫的誤導,以及一堆廢話裏藏幾個莎士比亞梗的所謂伏綫。哦和喜鵲一樣有人名和字謎梗,勉強可以當冷笑話看的那種。總之不推薦在這種書上浪費時間。ps:拜托有幾個正常讀者會願意聽作者聊丁丁曆險記或者斯皮爾伯格彼得傑剋遜什麼的(看到這裏我很絕望),灌水就灌水扯什麼小說構架&日本讀者的審美徹底理解不能。
評分##3.5星 因為現代偵探小說難寫而鼓勵0.5星。和喜鵲類似,作者仍采用瞭兩個故事相扣的設計,可惜的是第一個故事和最後的謀殺案相差太遠。不過第一個故事(車禍謎團)更有趣,頗有阿婆的小說韻味。

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##故事不錯,就是這種breaking the forth wall的寫法有點煩人
評分##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
評分##有點模仿福爾摩斯和華生,不過意外地效果好。朗讀者的聲音也好聽。
評分##Typical British mystery with reference of drama, theatre and, of course, Hamlet. A very grumpy Holmes and a less amicable Watson plus a nice little plot on the platter, including enough red herrings.
