The story involves a series of murders taking place in a wealthy neighborhood of New York. The first murder, of a Mr. Joseph Cochrane Robin who is found pierced by an arrow, is accompanied by a note signed "The Bishop" with an extract from the nursery rhyme Who Killed Cock Robin. This crime takes place at the home of an elderly physicist with a beautiful young ward and a private archery range. District Attorney Markham finds the circumstances so unusual that he asks his friend Philo Vance to advise upon the psychological aspects of the crime. Further murders connected with the family and neighbours of the physicist are accompanied with similar extracts from Mother Goose, such as the case of Johnny Sprigg, "who was shot through the middle of his wig, wig, wig." Midway through the book, an elderly woman confesses to the crimes, but this possibility is discounted by the police for physical reasons and by Philo Vance for psychological ones. The kidnapping and confinement of a little Miss Moffatt is luckily discovered by Vance and the police before the child suffocates in the closet in which she has been locked. Vance finally realizes the significance of one character's pointed reference to The Pretenders, a play written by Henrik Ibsen. Bishop Arnesson, of Oslo, was a prominent character in Ibsen's play. Vance arranges a spectacular finale in which the criminal is poisoned by a glass of liqueur which that person prepared for another suspect.
范达因(S.S.Van Dine),美国推理小说之父,《菲洛·万斯探案集》是他惟一的代表作,也是古典推理小说的集大成之作。他将推理小说中的理性成分演绎到极至,这个成就“前无古人,后无来者”。范达因所撰写的《推理小说二十条守则》是推理小说史上最全面、最完整、最严谨的写作戒律,同时也被奎恩等后来者奉为指导其毕生写作的“圣经”。
范达因给侦探小说订立的规矩,其最直接后果是侦探小说中的角色们的心理活动无法展示。因为一展示就可能影响解密。 也正是因为这点,个人以为这是大多数侦探小说最大的不幸。没有各种角色们的心理活动,人物就跟扑克牌一般,只是一张作者手中的牌而已。没法赋予他们个性与色彩...
评分看过本书后,对里面的《鹅妈妈童谣》产生了浓厚的兴趣。其实最早看到的《鹅妈妈童谣》是在“推理女王”阿加莎·克里斯蒂的《无人生还》里,那首著名的《十个小黑人》真的吓了我一跳: 十个小黑人 十个小黑人,为了吃饭去奔走;噎死一个没法救,十个...
评分在读过的侦探作品中,童谣与杀人案件结合作品时有出现。 最著名的大概是阿婆的《十个小印第安人》(一般译做《无人生还》),“十个小印第安人去出海……”虽然很久以前读过,至今仍然印象深刻。 在日本,横沟正史则写作了《罪恶的拍球歌》,同样使用了童谣。 作为侦探小说黄金...
评分就trick而言,没有什么不可能犯罪;就plot而言,没有什么很激动人心的剧情;就character而言,范达因一向不乐意努力刻画人物;但纵使它貌似缺乏让人激动的元素,却让我看得非常爽!现实的案件大多不是不可能犯罪,也没有一段诡谲离奇的过去,这就是一件最日常、可行性非常高的...
评分范达因,曾写下经典的20准则,当然准则这种东西,只能限制于黄金时代的大环境里,放在现在叙诡、新本格以及更多可能范达因预料不到的推理类型中,准则这种东西已经变得没有什么意义了。所以看古典本格,要具有一定的时代思维,你去批判一些黄金时代的大师的某部作品,还不如用...
范达因绝对是最没存在感的华生了吧。。
