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?
庭审部分很精彩。微妙的犯罪心理。但大部分的故事情节和描写没啥关系,堆砌。
评分读前三分之一屡屡想弃毕竟这种穷苦农村老实人受恶霸欺凌的故事不仅不新鲜而且让人很不舒服,乃至当中我简直想哭,不是那种好的动情的颤抖的发泄的哭,而是坏的恶心的呛鼻的有腐蚀气味的哭。幸好故事线不长当中还有牢狱谈话作调剂,终于等到杀人现场还是有点触目惊心的,笔锋一转的案件调查和法庭辩论也让人好奇心达到最高,虽然出现了叙诡常见的多视角叙事吊足胃口但其实没有反转。比起试图了解他人的内心世界,倒不如让刑罚只针对人的行为而非意图,这样的话也就不用为原本可以有另一种结果但被硬生生剥夺的Roddy感到委屈了。审判探索的是真相吗?我认为是高估了,审判只是为了寻找社会能够接受的一种下场,只是为了维持秩序,它和命运的本真无关,它根本没有资格被冠以真相之名,人类根本没有能力寻找真相,顶多只能是管好自己组建的社会罢了。

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。
评分叙述太细致了。主角遇到的问题至今依然在被讨论。No free will.
