Yet, everyone surrounding the vicarage seems to have a reason to want the Colonel dead. 死者是镇上的所有人都不喜欢的地方长官普罗瑟罗上校。他的头部被击中了。没有人听见任何异常的响声。至此,案件仿佛毫无线索。但寓所旁的每个人似乎都有动机杀死普罗瑟罗上校。 It is a race against the clock as Miss Marple sets out on the twisted trail of the mysterious killer without so much as a bit of help from the local police. 马普尔小姐正在和时间赛跑,在不依靠地方警察的帮助下,她需要尽快从神秘杀手留下的蛛丝马迹中理清案情。 这部作品同样出自阿婆之手。阿婆笔下的波罗和马普尔小姐都有什么相同点和不同点呢?阿婆在塑造男性侦探和女性侦探形象上是否会使用不同的手法呢?我们不妨试着对比一番,毕竟一个侦探小说家能塑造出两个家喻户晓的侦探角色还是很少见的。 同大侦探波罗一样,马普尔小姐也多次在银幕上现身。马普尔小姐身上带有浓重的英伦范儿,和她一起探案的时候还可以顺便感受一番英伦气息呢。 3 《福尔摩斯探案集》 阿瑟·柯南·道尔 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle Comprising the series of short stories that made the fortunes of the Strand, the magazine in which they were first published.

It has been claimed as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". 1841年,埃德加·爱伦·坡的短篇小说《莫格街凶杀案》在《格拉汉姆杂志》上发表。这被公认为是世界第一部侦探小说。爱伦·坡将这部作品看做是他的“推理故事”之一。 C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mysterious brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. C. Auguste Dupin侦探在巴黎解决了关于两名女性的残忍而神秘的凶杀案。许多证人都说自己听到了嫌疑人讲话,可是他们都不能对嫌疑人使用的语言达成一致。在犯罪现场,Dupin发现了一根看起来似乎不属于人类的毛发。 As the first true detective in fiction, the Dupin character established many literary devices which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Dupin这个角色是小说历史中出现的第一个真正意义上的侦探。许多描写Dupin的文学手法都在此后虚构的侦探角色上使用,包括福尔摩斯和波罗在内。 此后出现的许多角色都仿照爱伦·坡的模式呈现,比如侦探往往聪明绝顶,他的朋友又往往会担当叙事人的角色。和文学作品中的首位侦探一同探案的机会来了。你忍心错过吗? 5 《时间的女儿》 约瑟芬·铁伊 The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant is intrigued by a portrait of Richard III.

Grant seeks what kind of man Richard was and who in fact killed the princes in the tower. Alan Grant想要知道理查三世究竟是怎样的人,到底又是谁杀害了塔中的小王子们。 在莎士比亚的笔下,理查三世是一个暴君。他为了自己的利益可以说是无恶不作。那么历史的真相又是怎样的呢? 《时间的女儿》似乎就在尝试回答这个问题。尽管小说不能和历史划等号,但是小说中的一些观点却能带给我们很大的启发。 此外,这本书的写作风格极为严谨,大有一举推翻四百年历史定论的魄力。Alan Grant将会怎样解决这桩发生在四百年前的悬案呢?让我们一起跟随他在书中寻觅历史的真相吧。 6 《长眠不醒》 雷蒙德·钱德勒 The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler This work established Chandler as the master of the 'hard-boiled' detective novel, and his articulate and literary style of writing won him a large audience, which ranged from the man in the street to the most sophisticated intellectual.

I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be." 《长眠不醒》被《时代周刊》评选为一百部永恒的小说( All-Time 100 Novels)之一。《时代周刊》是这样评价这本书的:“我干净利落, 脸刮得干干净净,十分清醒。至于有谁能够知道这一点,那不关我的事。我就是一个衣冠整洁的私家侦探应有的样子。” This sentence, from the first paragraph of The Big Sleep, marks the last time you can be fully confident that you know what's going on. 《长眠不醒》的第一段中出现了上面这句话。这句话意味着这将是你最后一次完全相信自己知道发生了什么的时候了。” 雷蒙德·钱德勒是美国作家,其所开创的美国本土风格更被称为是推理史上的“美国革命”。 想知道英国侦探和美国侦探有什么不同吗?那就来和这位衣冠整洁的侦探同行吧。 7 《嫌疑人X的献身》 东野圭吾 The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi.

Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. 于是,他找来了物理学家汤川学博士。汤川学经常和警察打交道,警察们给他起了“伽利略教授”的绰号。汤川学和石神哲哉曾在同一所大学念书。 After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder.What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet. 两人再次会面后,汤川学认为石神哲哉与这场谋杀有关。接下来就是一场高水平的烧脑战争。石神哲哉不断地通过策略战胜汤川学,以保护花冈靖子。直到此时。汤川学才算是找到了最聪明、最坚定的对手。 东野圭吾是日本当代的推理小说作家,为我们带来了一系列脍炙人口的推理作品。这部作品出版于日本“失去的十年”期间。当时,女性意识不断强化。 东野圭吾的作品在一定程度上也折射了女性犯罪与男权社会之间的关系。好的作品往往能反映时代的特征。我们在读过这本书后也可以思考一下为什么作者会在当时写出这样的作品。 8 《俗丽之夜》 多丽斯·赛耶斯 Gaudy Night by Dorothy L.Sayers The great Dorothy L.
