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.
##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
评分##Anthony Horowitz讲故事真的很厉害,总是开篇几句话就牢牢抓住你(我十几岁开始读Alex Rider系列的时候就是这个感觉)。朗读者音色很好,但是人物和人物之间的区分不是很明显,其实作者非常喜欢细细地写人物的口音与声线,类似选角指示?
评分##因为上一本Magpie Murders,作者今年的新书刚一出来就迫不及待想看了。和上一部作品一样的是,Horowitz 的crime fiction 给人耳目一新的感觉,总会留下很“机智”的印象。挺喜欢找到很有个人特色的作者。
评分##有些地方还蛮阿婆的;叙事比案件更有趣,也比较难得遇到地理和文化的reference都能看懂的书2333
评分##非常非常可爱,希望能写成系列,侦探先生身上还有很多谜团呢~
评分##核心诡计一般,Hawthorne人物倒挺形象。对英国影视圈的影射也挺有趣,自从看到书里写这个Damian演了《国土安全》后,后半部书都脑补Damian Lewis的脸了
评分##故事不错,就是这种breaking the forth wall的写法有点烦人
评分##过分无聊了。前两百四十页几乎是全程家访...而这里面还包含了一看就是为了进行家访才写的误导,以及一堆废话里藏几个莎士比亚梗的所谓伏线。哦和喜鹊一样有人名和字谜梗,勉强可以当冷笑话看的那种。总之不推荐在这种书上浪费时间。ps:拜托有几个正常读者会愿意听作者聊丁丁历险记或者斯皮尔伯格彼得杰克逊什么的(看到这里我很绝望),灌水就灌水扯什么小说构架&日本读者的审美彻底理解不能。
