Patricia McGerr (1917-1985) was an American writer. She was born in Falls City Nebraska and educated at Trinity College Washington DC, the University of Nebraska and Columbia University New York, taking a Masters in Journalism. She was a public relations officer and editor before becoming a full-time writer in 1948. Her series character was Selena Mead, and she specialised in unidentified corpses. In addition to her novels she wrote many short stories.
It had to happen. Paul W. Stetson finally killed one of his vice-presidents. Each of them was kind of a pain, and Stetson was a notoriously nervous and violent man. No surprise indeed.
There is only one little problem: which of them has he killed?
A stunning tour de force, from a then-debutant author. Reversing whodunit's priorities in a revolutionary fashion, Mc Gerr reveals the guilty party from the start and turns on an unusual, compelling problem. Who has died? The answer is as surprising as expected, and wholly fair-play. As usual with McGerr, however, the book doesn't limit to a well-exploited gimmick. We have in bonus some delightful characterization and a lively office-life evocation. Barzun and Taylor raved about this book. They were right.

找死者這一新型模式比較新穎,最後通過一係列心理論證排除,鎖定死者也不錯,其它真的就乏善可陳瞭...尤其是前麵冗長得令人發指的碧池鬥爭史真的讓人受不瞭....最後,這個故事告訴我們好基友,真是一輩子的事.....
評分模式較新穎,但前麵90%的《雍正王朝》和《甄嬛傳》簡直瞭。最後盡管既有排除法,又有紅鯡魚,但是我覺得還不是不如他的那本《Save the Witness》來的痛快。為我能堅持讀完這本書和裏麵一些我喜歡的鬥爭的橋段給個四星吧。簡介:【http://www.douban.com/note/527555671/】

評分四顆星的內容,多齣一顆星給創意。推理部分水平中等偏上,單拎齣中間的故事也可以齣本小說的。之前看大傢的評論,以為情節會很細碎和冗雜,但是我並沒有這種感覺,雖然這不是那種會讓你一口氣讀完的故事。在讀書的過程中,我也有很深的感觸。初入職場,因為沒資曆並沒有捲入過什麼紛爭,但是公司裏某些人錶麵一團和氣,實則勾心鬥角的事沒少聽說,幫派之爭也是存在的。所以知道如何用人,平衡所有人的利益,絕對是領導基本技能之一。如果Stetson技能掌握嫻熟,估計也不會犯罪瞭吧。
評分不錯的書,然後拉傢常式的敘述實在是令我崩潰
