A brutal triple murder in a remote northwestern crofting community in 1869 leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae. There’s no question that Macrae is guilty, but the police and courts must uncover what drove him to murder the local village constable.
And who were the other two victims? Ultimately, Macrae’s fate hinges on one key question: is he insane?
有趣的形式,然而杀人犯自白那段真是又臭又长直接读不下去跳过了。非常疑惑为什么我们firm的elibrary会有这本书。
评分在杀人案的外衣下面,其实是历史小说,社会小说。当时苏格兰高地的生存条件确实恶劣,人活在那种环境里着实不易。结尾有点失望,没有很出彩,叙述的语气反而很含混。
评分这本小说里,伯内特将犯罪小说的阅读快感同真正的文学价值以及实验性的叙事结构结合在了一起,对人类的疯狂和种种隐秘的心理动机进行了一番黑暗而有趣的调查,最终得出的结论是:一个人对另一个人的认识并不比从石头里看到的更多。 这个沉思性的故事不但有着极为真实的人物,而且以具有说服力的精确性再现了那段历史。
评分好看
