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##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##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.
評分##故事不錯,就是這種breaking the forth wall的寫法有點煩人
評分##有些地方還蠻阿婆的;敘事比案件更有趣,也比較難得遇到地理和文化的reference都能看懂的書2333
評分##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##:(
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。
