书籍介绍

Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle meet Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club in this fiendishly clever blend of classic and modern murder mystery.

I was dreading the Cunningham family reunion even before the first murder.

Before the storm stranded us at the mountain resort, snow and bodies piling up.

The thing is, us Cunninghams don’t really get along. We’ve only got one thing in common: we’ve all killed someone.

My brother.

My step-sister

My wife

My father

My mother

My sister-in-law

My uncle

My stepfather

My aunt

'Stevenson has officially made my auto-buy-author list.' Christian White

Trying hard to be that funniest/smart arse of the family, but honestly you’re not, Not even a little bit.
写作手法有点annoying但是解密部分非常不错,我很喜欢,全都串起来了。如果作者不是这么个“it's clever & I know it”的写作方法可以给五星。
The tone was annoying, and the plot got unnecessarily complicated.
實在覺得Large Print版本是老花眼的福音。500多頁的書一口氣讀完,感覺非常阿加莎的味道:一個地點,這次是被暴風雪封住的resort;幾個人物,至少其中之一是凶手。最後的大講解,一般會在火爐旁邊。這本書裏很多twists and turns,所以屬於驚訝連連,直到書的結尾。不過,作者這種直接跟讀者對話的寫作手法有點讓人感覺不舒服,一句兩句也就算了,太多了,有點抖機靈的味道。
不错的悬疑,据说要拍成电视剧了,期待一下
Poke fun at golden-age mystery but did a proper one anyway!近年欧美古典推理复兴,一个显著特征是在回归古典谜题要素的同时,用了当年绝不可能使用的现代创新形式。这本的路数是“充分自觉”:像死侍之于超级英雄那样,在一种完全成熟的类型叙事里一边通过点出套路来制造笑点,一边又完成了一个很好的类型叙事。这种叽叽喳喳和读者直接对话的形式必然接受度不一,我倒觉得是有趣的,很多段子我觉得很好笑(。最喜欢的部分是作者反复说读者手中的书本身也是谜题的一种,这里叙事框架本身是有意义的,也是我最后解开核诡的关键。总之很适合在五一假期里一口气读完,在咖啡馆狂画人物表和线索整理(不好意思完全就是作者吐槽的那种推理小说读者),破案三天成功缉凶,有什么更快乐的呢!
没有什么特别惊艳的地方,但是很精巧……“作者”这个形象在欠揍的边缘反复横跳还蛮可爱的。叙事上,尤其是信息披露的节奏值得学习。
