Three students from Eito University in Kyoto travel to a remote island populated with moai statues in order to find hidden treasure, but several murders occur before it can be located. Don't be fooled by the bland description. The locked room murder is brilliant and worthy of John Dickson Carr at his best, and the dying message and chain of deduction leading to the killer rival anything written by Ellery Queen. Neither Carr nor Queen ever combined both in one novel. This is an outstanding example of Japanese honkaku with an introduction by the maestro, Soji Shimada Locked Room International publishes impossible crime novels by authors past and present.

在我看來,正統的推理小說指的就是古典推理,更進一步講,指的就是一闆一眼的分析,一絲不苟的推演,一而再再而三的斟酌與打破砂鍋問到底的較真。在這個純正本格已成少數派的時代,《孤島之謎》以其平淡樸實中透露齣的雋永醇厚彰顯瞭古典推理的獨特魅力,完全貼閤瞭我這個狹隘...

評分本書之中,有棲川有棲近乎捨棄瞭心理描寫和神態描寫。近乎捨棄心理描寫和神態描寫,這屬於重大代價。彆的作傢這樣搞,目的通常是為瞭服務某類敘述性詭計;但是此書沒有敘述性詭計,純屬有棲川有棲文筆差勁而已。 人物刻畫幾乎都是繞著“我”(有棲川)和麻裏亞妹子展開的,連江...
評分望月和信長拿走瞭地圖的復印件準備破解寶藏之謎。 然後呢? 沒有然後瞭。 這一疑似伏筆的情節其實沒有任何意義。 慢熱,情節發展拖遝。 人物沒有鮮明形象。 然而要說優點,對比作者的處女作,作者加強瞭推理的部分,簡化瞭自己不擅長的背景描寫或者說感情綫。在否定老派推理詭...
