Gone for Good 豆瓣
作者: Harlan Coben Dell 2003 - 3
Amazon.com
"The ugliest truth, in the end, was still better than the prettiest of lies." So says Will Klein, whose search for his missing and allegedly murderous brother, Ken, leaves him doubting the actions of everybody he's ever loved.
Eleven years ago, Ken fled his family's suburban New Jersey neighborhood after Will's ex-girlfriend, Julie Miller, was raped and strangled. The Kleins eventually convinced themselves that Ken perished on the lam. But as Will discovers, the facts are not so simple. On her deathbed, his mother tells him that Ken is still alive. Then Will's girlfriend and "soul mate" disappears too, only to have her fingerprints turn up at a New Mexico homicide scene. How are these tragedies connected? And what's their relationship to the recent appearance of a contract killer known as the Ghost? With help from an abused ex-hooker, a former white supremacist turned yoga guru, and Julie's younger sister, Will finds himself in a tightly twisted plot that turns on double identities and misplaced trust and that forces him to dig for the courage he was always sure he lacked.
Although the premise sounds much like that of Harlan Coben's last book, the acclaimed Tell No One, and the books' ingenuous protagonists are nearly interchangeable, Gone for Good quickly establishes its separate but equally suspenseful identity. This is a tale of manifold deceptions guaranteed to show its readers up as suckers, and to make them love every moment of the experience. --J. Kingston Pierce --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
"We never forget our first love. Mine ended up being murdered." Newcomers and fans alike will know they're deep in Coben country with the author's ninth book, in which a counselor of runaways with his own history of broken hearts and death finds himself caught in a web of lost identities, forgotten nemeses and smoldering grudges. Will Klein was a nice Jewish boy from a nice Jersey suburb until his ex-girlfriend was found strangled next door and his brother became an international fugitive. Eleven years later, as his mother succumbs to cancer, Will gets the deathbed confession that his brother, Ken, is alive; around the same time, his girlfriend, Sheila (herself a runaway with a "murky past"), disappears and a neighborhood psycho called the Ghost resurfaces. Will is yanked into an FBI investigation via his friend Squares (a yogi whose forehead tattoo carries multiple meanings), which jumbles up the aforementioned cast of characters with another mystery occurring in the Midwest. True to form, Coben keeps the plot twists coming fast and furious, and readers will give up trying to guess the outcome quite early on; yet the book's entertainment value lies less in its plot than its characters. From the New York streetwalker Raquel ("Many transvestites are beautiful. Raquel was not. He was black, six-six, and comfortably on the north side of three hundred pounds") to Belmont, Neb.'s Sheriff Bertha Farrow ("Murder scenes were bad, but for overall vomit-inducing, bone-crunching, head-splitting, blood-splattering grossness, it was hard to beat the metal-against-flesh effect of an old-fashioned automobile accident"), this title delivers.

这部剧组多了钱,特效和调色都比第一部好,问题是情节比第一部还要拉垮,其实大方向没啥问题,但情节的打磨就是粗糙,嘴炮大于逻辑,但我还是不舍得打太低分,因为角色还是讨喜的(得强调是角色的塑造,譬如我尽管对周雨彤有滤镜,我还是觉得她在这部里演得及格线以下),我觉得小陆掌院和小景弟弟的塑造都很不常规所以有惊喜,最好角色尉迟源的临终遗言很触动我,失败的角色是元昊和元天关,两人主打一个神经病,可惜的角色是八斋众,被派来替七斋领便当的几位戏份被压榨得以分钟计算(另三位连出场的机会也没有),人物背景简单地用口头描述带过了,主打一个死得壮烈且潦草。演员方面主角团里王佑硕很稳,老演员的演技都很镇得住场(北河星就算了),马大明(尉迟源)演的插科打诨很讨喜,王可(楚袅)演得有多可爱就让人有多意难平,最后给翁虹(野利皇后)一个赞。

这本受大家盛誉的作品我却没有特别大的触动,里面的诡计不可不说惊艳,逆序串连六段故事,前篇的人物会在后面的篇章里“客串”,“侦探”不按常理出牌,这些都是很妙的设计。但以篇幅来说,每篇都是短篇,给“侦探”层层抽丝剥茧破案留的描述空间不多,案子破了仅能惊叹“好神奇的犯罪设计”还有“侦探这都能破,太神了”,但“他是怎么破的呢?”,感觉上就差口气。

Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: "I'd like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger." Yet in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Ten years ago in California, Daniel Pell, a self-styled Charles Manson, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering an entire family -- husband, wife, and two children, plus one of his young male followers. He is brought to Salinas, California, to interview with Kathryn Dance after he is implicated in yet another killing. Things go terribly wrong during an interview break and Pell, after badly injuring a fellow California Bureau of Investigation agent and murdering several bystanders, escapes. The late murder implication was just one of his many schemes, allowing him to travel outside of his high-security prison -- and continue to kill of the outside. It's up to Kathryn Dance, aided by her CBI partners, a Monterey County detective, and a brilliant FBI agent specializing in cult mentality. Hungry on his trail, Dance enlists three of Pell's former female followers, now raising families and leading normal lives, as well as the one surviving family member in the initial killing. Only eight years old at the time, she survived asleep in her bed, obscured by her toys and stuffed animals, prompting the press to call her "The Sleeping Doll." Now eighteen, this girl may have clues about Pell. Full of Deaver's trademark plot twists, Dance and the police know that Pell didn't escape from jail in search of freedom, and they must stop him before he kills again.

The Empty Chair 豆瓣
作者: Jeffery Deaver Pocket Books (Mm) 2001 - 1
Book Description
Quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme is asked to find a menacing kidnapper while visiting a renowned hospital in a small North Carolina town. While Lincoln has his own suspicions about who the perpetrator might be, so does his love and protegee Amelia Sachs. As the two lovers go head to head in a desperate battle of wits, their loyalty is tested as rigorously as their investigative skills.
Reviews
The Empty Chair is the third - or, if you count a guest appearance in the millennial thriller The Devil's Teardrop, the fourth - novel to feature Lincoln Rhyme, the irascible forensic genius who became a quadriplegic when a cave-in at a crime scene damaged his spinal cord beyond repair. The series began in 1997 with The Bone Collector, which was recently made into a so-so film starring Denzel Washington. Every Rhyme novel to date has been characterized by authentic forensic detail and wild, even extravagant plotting, and the latest entry is no exception. The Empty Chair may, in fact, be the single trickiest suspense novel published so far this year.
Unlike earlier volumes, The Empty Chair takes place outside of New York City in the bucolic but sinister environs of Paquenoke County, North Carolina. Rhyme - accompanied by his long-suffering physical therapist, Thom, and his beloved forensic assistant, Amelia Sachs - has just been accepted as a patient at the Medical Center of the University of North Carolina, where he is scheduled to undergo an experimental procedure that might increase the range of his mobility but might, on the other hand, result in his death. Shortly after his arrival, Lincoln's plans are disrupted by an unforeseen emergency. Jim Bell, Paquenoke County sheriff, has trouble on his hands and needs Lincoln's expertise.
According to Bell, a disturbed teenager - known, for reasons that become graphically clear, as the Insect Boy - has murdered a local football hero and abductedtwoyoung women. Convinced that the women have only hours to live, Bell asks Lincoln to examine the trace evidence found at the abduction site in the faint hope of pinpointing the kidnapper's location. Though he knows nothing about the physical composition of the surrounding area - he and Sachs, as he repeatedly comments, are "fish out of water" in the American South - Rhyme agrees to help. Once again using Amelia Sachs as his eyes and legs, he sets up an ad hoc forensic lab in a borrowed corner of the local Sheriff's office and goes to work.
This sort of scenario - a crazed killer, a race against time, a scattered handful of clues - offers more than enough drama to fuel any number of traditional suspense novels. In The Empty Chair, however, this same scenario is merely the first level of a complex, multitiered mystery that constantly confounds our most fundamental expectations. The first indication that The Empty Chair contains unexpected depths comes when Lincoln, flawlessly interpreting his disparate bits of evidence, locates both the Insect Boy (Garrett Hanlon) and his most recent victim (an oncology nurse named Lydia Johannsen) within the first 150 pages. At that point, Deaver throws away the rulebook.
After talking with Garrett Hanlon in the Paquenoke County jail, Amelia develops the instinctive sense that Garrett might, as he continually claims, be a victim, and that another unidentified killer might still be at large. In a moment of intuitive - and reckless - empathy, Amelia abandons her professional principles and escapes with Garrett, determined both to prove the boy's innocence and rescue the remaining victim, a local history student named Mary Beth McConnell. From this point forward, almost nothing that happens in The Empty Chair is even remotely predictable.
It would spoil too many of the carefully constructed surprises to reveal the plot in any more detail. Suffice it to say that the narrative - which seems, at first, a simple but effective chase story - broadens and deepens to become something stranger and infinitely more complex. Throwing a varied assortment of people and elements into the mix - a trio of Deliverance-style rednecks, an emotionally scarred cancer survivor, a revisionist account of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, an apparently deranged deputy sheriff, a pair of incipient rapists, the hidden motivations of a wealthy industrialist, and the tragic history of Tanner's Corner, a "town without children" - Deaver constructs an artful, entertaining melodrama that has much to say about the destructive consequences of uncontrolled greed.
If The Empty Chair has a besetting weakness, it is Deaver's relentless determination to dazzle the reader with his narrative sleight of hand, piling on an endless, constantly escalating series of shocks, surprises, and unexpected twists that might, in a lesser writer's hands, have become just a bit too much. But Deaver, as usual, is a consummate professional, and he holds it all together with the ease and assurance of a natural storyteller. Readers familiar with the earlier adventures of Lincoln Rhyme will be lining up for this one, which seems likely to attract a substantial number of new readers, as well. The Empty Chair is Jeffery Deaver at his best and most devious and is recommended, without reservation, to anyone in search of intelligent, high-adrenaline entertainment.

第2季与第1季联系紧密,两者时间节点相隔差不多一年。第2季开场发生在一年后的万圣节,地点依然是印第安纳州的小镇霍金斯,这几个小家伙打扮成抓鬼敢死队。四个萌童中最醒目的肯定是威尔,第一季结尾时他咳嗽时吐出了一条虫子,这显然是为后续剧情埋下的伏笔。制作人之一的马特·杜菲表示:“他似乎能够看到表里世界(the Upside Down)的景象,问题在于这些景象到底是真的还是假的?看起来他正遭受着PTSD。”
同时,过度担心乃至有点神经质的乔伊斯(薇诺娜·瑞德饰)则试图让两个儿子的生活稳定下来。她开始和前高中同学鲍勃(肖恩·奥斯汀饰)约会:“她试图遮掩很多东西,我认为她决定和鲍勃在一起,是想为孩子们的生活中带来一个好父亲。”
霍珀警长(大卫·哈伯饰)则有一屁股的麻烦要处理,新一季中他要设法平息事态,保护乔伊斯和孩子们。哈伯表示:“所以霍珀的责任就是以官方的身份出面解释,到底什么事情发生了,什么事情没有发生。他不得不作出妥协,撒一些谎,遮掩一些事情,这令他很挣扎。”
南希(娜塔莉亚·戴尔饰)和麦克这对姐弟的心境也有很大变化,两个各自在上一季失去了一位好友(巴伯和小十一),也为此黯然神伤。制作人罗斯·杜菲表示:“她和麦克是最伤心的人,因为他们都失去了朋友。他们都需要努力走出来,我们会在第2季中看到结果。”
第2季最大的变化来自于新来的一对姐弟比利和麦克斯。麦克斯这个假小子迅速和几个男孩成为了玩伴,而且还成为了达斯汀和卢卡斯的梦中情人。比利则是个不太好相处的家伙。马特·杜菲暗示道:“史蒂芬·金非常善于刻画一些人类反派。真实社会中的恶魔丝毫不逊于那些超自然恶魔,我们希望引入这样一个角色。”
之前外媒曾曝光过两个新角色的概述,与杜菲的描述正好吻合。之前的角色概述中来看,麦克斯是一个顽强自信的13岁假小子,无论外表、行为还是爱好都更像一个男孩,而不是女孩。她有一段复杂的身世背景,与自己的继兄关系不佳,这也使得她更谨慎保护自己的过去,也往往对周围的人持怀疑态度。她是一位滑板好手,喜欢滑着滑板走遍各地;比利是一个肌肉发达的17岁青年。他毛躁好斗,魅力超群,甚至有传闻称他曾在过去就读的学校里犯下凶案。比利喜欢撬走别人的女友,往往能在拼酒中胜出,还开着一辆帅气的黑色雪佛兰科迈罗。不过他周围的人,特别是那些比他年轻的人往往会观察到他的暴力倾向和变化无常、不可预测的本质。
当然,《怪奇物语》依然是《怪奇物语》,还是会有很多超自然的问题。表里世界的裂缝依然存在,实验室现在换由看起来和善的欧文斯博士管理。杜菲兄弟对于新一季中的怪物闭口不谈,但他们透露这一季会展现“不同类型的恐惧”。此外,第2季中达斯汀会找到一个蝌蚪一样的宠物。饰演者盖登·玛塔拉佐表示:“这是一个和我有着紧密联系的小生物,它显然并不来自这个星球或这个位面。”

What? What? And what? 第一季给我的感觉完全不见了,角色上全员崩得有点厉害,剧本的感觉就是沿着套路一路走来,大家各司其职演完收工。最后剩一分打给 Steve 和 Dustin 这对。
