2065438+September 2008 Book List

1. Field investigation of forgotten villages

The records of remote villages in Japan are composed of oral stories and a few records of activities that the author personally participated in: village-level mails that are easy to digress for three days and three nights, stories of pedestrians and dew love, mother-in-law nagging her daughter-in-law's thoughts, teasing jokes of rice transplanters and so on. Do you think many legends like "mysterious stories" may have floated out of such mountains and forests?

2. The reason why we steal constellations

Five stories about fairy tales and their disillusionment. In the coincidence of disillusionment, good and not so good, a little reasoning element is reasonably added. The impression of Beishan stays in the terminal city, which is also a dark fairy tale. In fact, there is not much "white" in this book, and the kernel is still black.

3. rye mystery

Nursery rhymes have reappeared, and a series of murders can be attached with a slight misinterpretation, which occasionally makes people curious about the original author's intention. The primary and secondary puzzles are actually common: "Who is the most suspected of profiting from Dad's death" and "Who is coming for revenge". The real murderer is expected and unexpected-after all, there are not many candidates, but looking back at the previous description after uncovering the mystery, there will be a feeling of being suddenly hit by the complexity of human nature.

4. The Witness of Murder

A somewhat anticlimactic case. It's an interesting beginning to witness the murder on a patchwork train, but it seems that the scenes in which the children and grandchildren secretly plan their own back roads are also dragging on.

5. Broken mirror murder

On the contrary, the first and middle period of this book is slightly dull, but the end is unexpectedly bright, and the small mirror of human nature suddenly reflects the dazzling sunshine. Ah, those unreasonable injuries in life. Another line is also quite interesting, which is Miss Ma Puer's own struggle: The world is advancing and I am getting old. so this is it？ Miss Ma Puer won't agree.

6. caribbean mystery

In a sense, this is a prequel to the Nemesis incident. Rich old men are not victims, but helpers in solving crimes-even old men laugh at themselves. It is still a familiar multi-angle chaotic emotional relationship (Miss Ma Puer's strength), but the location is far away from the familiar environment of St. Mary Meade, which makes Miss Ma Puer feel at a loss in a short time, but the nemesis wearing a pink wool circle will not be defeated by this little inconvenience. The heel of the file came in handy.

7. behind closed doors

The title of a novel "Revenge" is a suspense article against domestic violence, which can summarize half the story content and the whole tone. In the first five minutes of the first chapter, countless "perfect" descriptions and dialogues are strung together, which makes the following content completely predictable. Although this writing may be to make the turning point more amazing, readers have probably been trained by various novels with similar themes. A drama is: The elder sister tried to kill Tang Zong's younger sister from her husband's mouth, and there was no story of life freedom. The image of the hostess is unconvincing, and the transition from helplessness to falling from the sky is too easy. I can read audio books well.

8. Be enchanted

A (representative) written in a romantic style? American prisons, especially those on death row, are beautiful, sad and ironic stories. Almost all the names of big families have been changed to code names: "the lady who appealed to death row"; The "warden" looked sadly at his wife who was suffering from cancer and dying, and felt that it was ironic that he was dragged into the appeal procedure. The "priest" wants to touch and shrink his hand for emotion; "white-haired boy" is like a ghost in the wall ... finally, in a sense, everyone has gained freedom from this prison called "magic"

9. Murder in Sleep

"Burying his face, light and shadow spent my eyes. She died young? This episode of the drama version is also quite interesting. It is about a young woman who returned to England from New Zealand and was led by her subconscious or an invisible finger. In her flashback memory, she saw a suspected murder she witnessed as a child. The description of the environment in the early stage is quite in place, with a bit of horror and even a bit of mysticism.

10. Sleeping Mermaid House

Dongye's Non-Inference is one of the light novels that "explore human nature". Although chicken soup is insufficient, it is within an acceptable range. The core topic is how to define "death". It is a hodgepodge style that the author is quite good at, mixing a sense of dispensability with various common moral and ethical issues.

1 1. The last case of Miss Ma Puer.

Miss Ma Puer doesn't seem to have a formal exit like Poirot-if we want to talk about the last case, the "sense of termination" in Nemesis is more obvious. This short story is not a complicated case, and some of it is even a little obvious, which is also a small accident for the residents of St. Mary Meade.

12. Hidden dangers

The young couple's adventure story is different from Poirot's and Ma Puer's painting style, full of playful sense and brisk rhythm. The background of this international conspiracy, like the Big Four, is a little beyond the control of grandma's pen, but otherwise it is very relaxed and happy (and a lover who loves ostentation and extravagance). The image of rich Americans writing blank checks is as easy as smoking paper towels for a long time.

13. Lincoln in the bardo

Quite a novel way of writing. One hundred people (ghosts) are full of opinions-strictly speaking, they can't be called ghosts, but they probably just don't admit that they are dead. Lincoln became part of the title of the book because his youngest son who died of typhoid fever also briefly joined the wandering family in this story, and happened to be the messenger who broke some kind of "spell". I don't think the author wants to convey any religious information-even though I probably ignored it-but it is more like spreading the feeling of a brain hole: some men who died suddenly in the wedding night are still unwilling to lift it, and the abused female slaves still lose their voices, and so on.

14. Finnish nightmare

Very cute. Complete the brochure in five minutes. Everyone is Finnish in these five minutes.
