The Surgeon 豆瓣
作者: Tess Gerritsen Ballantine Books 2002 - 7
In her most masterful novel of medical suspense, New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen creates a villain of unforgettable evil--and the one woman who can catch him before he kills again.He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. The precision of the killer s methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers and the frightened public to name him "The Surgeon."The cops only clue rests with another surgeon, the victim of a nearly identical crime. Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault. Now she hides her fears of intimacy behind a cool and elegant exterior and a well-earned reputation as a top trauma surgeon. Cordell s careful facade is about to crack as this new killer recreates, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell s own ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Her only comfort comes from Thomas Moore, the detective assigned to the case. But even Moore cannot protect Cordell from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands--and savors--the secret fears of every woman he kills.Filled with the authentic detail that is the trademark of this doctor turned author . . . and peopled with rich and complex characters--from the ER to the squad room to the city morgue--here is a thriller of unprecedented depth and suspense. Exposing the shocking link between those who kill and cure, punish and protect, The Surgeon is Tess Gerritsen s most exciting accomplishment yet.From the Hardcover edition.

作者的写作水平并不是很差,但感觉不诚挚,特别是蛇足的终章,可以看出她只想写个猎奇的凶手。而且女主角简直是个一旦世界不围着自己转就发烂渣的YA,全程主要在怼受害者没怎么办案,结尾忽然福至心灵而其他警察双商下线让她捡钱包。男性主义的欺压不会让警察误杀没有武器的嫌疑人后责骂同事没有包庇她,更不会令女警察用tits&ass形容强奸受害者仅仅因为她长得好看。尽管据说主角后面会变得判若两人,但这个丑态实在不想继续看。
A Killer's Mind 豆瓣
作者: Mike Omer Thomas & Mercer 2018 - 8
The Washington Post bestselling serial-killer thriller that will leave you wondering, is the past really in the past?
Three Chicago women have been found strangled, embalmed, and posed as if still alive. Doubting the findings of the local PD’s profiler, The FBI calls on forensic psychologist Zoe Bentley to investigate.
Zoe quickly gets off on the wrong foot with her new partner, Special Agent Tatum Gray. Zoe’s a hunter, intense and focused; Tatum’s a smug maverick with little respect for the rules. Together, they must descend into a serial killer’s psyche and untangle his twisted fantasies, or more women will die. But when the contents of three inconspicuous envelopes reveal a chilling connection to gruesome murders from Zoe’s childhood, suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted.

太容易预料了,凶手一出场就知道是他,最后一节几乎下一句说什么都能猜出来。不太喜欢过去那条线和女主角的行为方式,搭档凡人的感情和焦虑倒更有意思些,可能因为作者自己是个男的。大部分作家写凶手的POV都是把变态邪恶的部分抽象出来写,所以千篇一律,这本也一样。

“Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.
But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.

Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge
8.7 (6 个评分) 作者: [美国] 迈克·雷斯尼克 译者: 袁枫 四川科学技术出版社 2016 - 7
本书精选美国著名科幻作家迈克•雷斯尼克中短篇小说二十二篇,其中包括雨果奖、星云奖等世界科幻大奖的获奖及提名作品。这些作品不仅代表了雷斯尼克的最高水平,也是世界科幻文学宝库中的珠玉之作,其精巧的构思、深邃的思想令人过目难忘。
《奥杜瓦伊峡谷的七个故事》以外星人的视角,深刻剖析了人性的温暖与丑恶,令人掩卷恻然;《游子还乡》中,无论外形如何变化,行至宇宙哪个角落,亲情仍旧将人类紧紧相连……这些故事,不仅展示了宇宙的广袤无垠,更对人类情感进行了细致入微的刻画。

Circe 豆瓣 Goodreads Goodreads
Circe
6.9 (16 个评分) 作者: Madeline Miller Little, Brown and Company 2018 - 4
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

Caesar's Women 豆瓣
作者: Colleen Mccullough William Morrow Paperbacks 2008 - 11
"New York Times" bestselling author Colleen McCullough re-creates an extraordinary epoch before the mighty Republic belonged to Julius Caesar--when Rome's noblewomen were his greatest conquest. His victories were legend--in battle and bedchamber alike. Love was a political weapon he wielded cunningly and ruthlessly in his private war against enemies in the forum. Genius, general, patrician, Gaius Julius Caesar was history. His wives bought him influence. He sacrificed his beloved daughter on the altar of ambition. He burned for the cold-hearted mistress he could never dare trust. Caesar's women all knew--and feared--his power. He adored them, used them, destroyed them on his irresistible rise to prominence. And one of them would seal his fate.

觉得这部没以前几部好。恺撒缺乏可以共情的弱点,看起来很难投入,而且尚在准备阶段却投入笔墨太多。虽然作者自有解释但喀提林阴谋全写他不太说得过去,西塞罗好可怜。作者本来写的很好的战争和配角刻画也让位于恺撒,庞培好歹打了几仗也是不是恺撒的战争老娘懒得写的态度一笔带过。克劳狄乌斯的部分还行。或者说重点不是恺撒的部分都还行。
The Listener 豆瓣
作者: Robert R McCammon Cemetery Dance Publications 2018 - 2
1934. Businesses went under by the hundreds, debt and foreclosures boomed, and breadlines grew in many American cities.
In the midst of this misery, some folks explored unscrupulous ways to make money. Angel-faced John Partlow and carnival huckster Ginger LaFrance are among the worst of this lot. Joining together they leave their small time confidence scams behind to attempt an elaborate kidnapping-for-ransom scheme in New Orleans.
In a different part of town, Curtis Mayhew, a young black man who works as a redcap for the Union Railroad Station, has a reputation for mending quarrels and misunderstandings among his friends. What those friends don't know is that Curtis has a special talent for listening... and he can sometimes hear things that aren't spoken aloud.
One day, Curtis Mayhew's special talent allows him to overhear a child's cry for help (THIS MAN IN THE CAR HE'S GOT A GUN), which draws him into the dangerous world of Partlow and LaFrance.
