The Judas Window

约翰·狄克森·卡尔（1906－1977）史上最伟大的推理小说作家之一，举世公认的“密室推理之王”。其小说素以公平著称，线索隐蔽，解答惊人，具有超乎寻常的逻辑性、趣味性。他一生共设计了超过五十种密室，几乎每个都是构思精巧、无以复加；又兼其小说一贯具有的浓郁哥特风格，以及其谋篇布局的架构能力之强，自会让读者大呼过瘾，竞相传读。读推理，岂能不读密室；读密室，岂能不读卡尔！

Only young James Answell could have committed the murder. After all, he was found unconscious in the locked room next to the body of the murdered man. His clothes were disheveled from an apparent struggle. The whiskey decanter containing the liquor he said was used to knock him out was full to the brim. All the glasses on the table were clean. His fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, an arrow from the victim’s collection. Furthermore, he was heard arguing with the dead man, whose daughter he wished to marry. Just about everyone is convinced that James is headed for a date with the hangman.

Everyone except Sir Henry Merrivale, H.M. to his friends and associates. He’s convinced that the real murderer used a “Judas window” to commit the crime. Pay no attention to the architects who designed the building, H.M. insists. In fact, he says, you’ll find a Judas window in practically every room. “The trouble is that so few people ever notice it.”

First published in 1938, The Judas Window is considered by many to be the best locked room mystery of all time. Carter Dickson is, of course, the pseudonym of John Dickson Carr, the universally acknowledged grand master of the form.

读后感

个人觉得在卡尔的所有小说里这本《犹大之窗》也可以排到前列，通篇读下来真是非常精彩，结局简直让人拍案叫绝啊~~每一间屋子都一扇犹大之窗~~算是我的最爱的推理小说之一了~~ 首先作为法庭推理小说，这本书不会显得很无聊，卡尔在吸引读者这方面一向有一手，在剧情安排上很不...  

文/舒念 我想，密室推理对于推理迷的巨大魅力，不仅在于其“不可能犯罪”的性质，更重要的是阅读侦探抽丝剥茧，打破不可能的过程，用证据与逻辑推理出一番不可能之中的可能，打破一场完美犯罪，完成一次完美推理。 化不可能为可能，甚至化不可能为必然，这才是推理的乐趣。推理...  

（一）形制 和很多人的看法不同，对吉林前九本卡尔小说的封面，我个人十分喜欢，唯一的遗憾就是没有勒口。结果后续的这些卡尔小说，勒口是补上了，封面、书脊都被改掉，不禁让我十分困惑——放到书架上，怎么看都不像是同一套的小说啊。而且这次的封面，显然是把卡尔系列彻底...  

法庭推理+密室谋杀+机械诡计，这部推理小说史上的经典，可以拆解成这么三个元素。一个年轻人跟他未来的岳父同处一室，不料他酒中被下了药，晕了过去，等醒来时岳父却被箭射死了，他成了嫌疑人。法庭上自信的律师为其辩护，你一定知道年轻人是被冤枉的，所以没有大逆转，最终要...

没什么好说啦 ~

08年还没出中文版的时候就在美国亚马逊买了，一直没看，昨晚在壁橱里翻出来了。所谓的神作也就那么回事吧。卡尔写东西太墨迹，头一次看一本书看到想吐，法庭辩论不是该简洁利落点吗，HM的废话各种往复循环，看得我数次崩溃。这么多年总算知道犹大之窗是什么鬼了，谈不上震撼，key word一出来瞬间就明白怎么回事了。。。
