出道作即大师作,案件的复杂性令我目瞪口呆,伏笔密集得令我充分体会到了本格推理的真谛与魅力,这么多人的无心之作和 Poirot 的发癫都有充分的解释,结局里还撮合了两对,真是甜蜜,Hasting 只好和 Poirot 在一起笑死 ;于一九二〇年发表,所谓战争是一战,真没想到 Agatha Christie 活跃年代比我想的更久远;那时英国大概习惯用绞刑架处决犯人;诡计套路;唱黑脸唱白脸

9.2 (17 个评分) 作者: Agatha Christie Harper 2002 - 4
Agatha Christie's ginius for detective fiction is unparalleled. Her worldwide popularity is phenomenal, her characters engaging, her plots spellbinding. No one knows the human heart--or the dark passions that can stop it--better than Agatha Christie. She is truly the one and only Queen of Crime.
The Muder Of Roger Ackroyd
Village rumor hints that Mrs. Ferrars poisoned her husband, but no one is sure. Then there's another victim in a chain of death. Unfortunately for the killer, master sleuth Hercule Poirot takes over the investigation.

BL 6.3,AR 11,Word Count 69136,Lexie 720L。Laike9m 推荐,现在看来它似乎和东方快车谋杀案和无人生还比肩。

上段为想读时写的标记,已经是二〇二〇年的事了;四年后即二〇二四年的今天终于读完,前半部分真是冗长得难以读下去,人物太多记不住人名,直到 Poirot 指责在场的每人都「各怀鬼胎」才慢慢好看起来,尤其是最后的惊天真相揭露,震撼无比;看 NeoDB 用户评价,这似乎是叙述性诡计的开山之作?也非常本格,Agatha Christie 已经给了够密集的线索,愿意动动 grey cells 的读者可以自行推理出来;原来一百年前欧洲人就会打 Mah Jong(麻将) 了;诡计套路:多名证人由于各种各样的原因而「各怀鬼胎」地放烟幕弹,严重干扰侦探的推理过程;凶手是叙述者本身。

A ruthless international cartel seeks world domination...Framed in the doorway of Poirot's bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man's gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell. Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about 'Number Four'.

Reddit 上有不少人说 Agatha Christie 全集值得一读,但我很快就遇到反例了;Poirot series 第四弹,但不是本格推理,据说是硬汉派,即正面大战罪犯或甚至集团,这书的犯罪集团莫名国际化:叫 The Big Four,即四大天王,首脑是中国人,据说连列宁和托洛茨基都是他的傀儡,第二席是美国首富,第三席是法国疯狂科学家,第四席是英国 Detroyer,中二但剧本稀烂,我读了四分之一就不读了;Agatha 写出这烂作应该因为当时正值一九二六年,遭到母亲去世和婚姻破裂的双重打击,于是整整年就只匆匆出版了这一本,而且还是多个单元剧编纂起来的;写作背景也是一战,当时流传一战背后有幕后操纵的阴谋论,以及 Li Changyan 原型即傅满洲。

Poirot Series 第二弹!Papa Poirot 和 harem 这些词要笑死我;看得出 Agatha Christie 没有发展出独立的女性思维,被迫附庸在父权制上;花心大萝卜 Hastings 果然名不虚传,精虫上脑时令人生厌;当时基因学还没诞生;剧情有一点宿命感;诡计套路:螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后。

Poirot Investigates 豆瓣 Goodreads
6.2 (5 个评分) 作者: Agatha Christie HarperCollins Publishers Ltd 2001 - 9 其它标题: Poirot Investigates
The very first collection of superb short stories featuring Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings…
First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond… then came the ‘suicide’ that was murder… the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat… a suspicious death in a locked gun-room… a million dollar bond robbery… the curse of a pharaoh’s tomb… a jewel robbery by the sea… the abduction of a Prime Minister… the disappearance of a banker… a phone call from a dying man… and, finally, the mystery of the missing will.
What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!

Agatha Chrisitie 短篇推理小说集,看完……就忘了!权当一次阅读理解练习了。话说这书都已经是一百年前出版的了,有一些 old-fashioned 词汇,以及大量 british words,以及居然还有 morrow 以及 to-morrow 这些词,不过相对于鲁迅那种令我不舒服的华语语法已经好太多了。
