评分“走进农舍,男孩的尸体不见了。炉子上放着一个大锅,锅里在咕噜咕噜冒泡,不知炖着什么。安娜领着他(主人公帕维尔)坐到炉旁,史蒂芬盛满满的一碗递给他。他低头盯着这碗热气腾腾的汤:碗里漂着压碎的橡实,关节和一条条的肉,史蒂芬和安娜看着他,史蒂芬说道:‘你本来会死...
评分被介绍吸引来看的,讲的是一个发生在前苏联时代的连环谋杀案。案件的侦破受当时时代的局限变得十分之棘手,“国家不承认这种案件。”调查的人也因此陷入危机。由此整本书的后半部分就变成主角为了调查案件所经历的惊险逃亡。 感觉情节上还是蛮紧凑刺激的,十分适合作为...
评分Passable. More of a lone wolf adventure than a thriller or suspense, for the author hasn't put much mind into hiding/camouflaging the clues. The author uses the belief in family bonds and hatred towards political injustices to argue his case. Smart move, ot...

A propulsive, relentless page-turner.
A terrifying evocation of a paranoid world where no one can be trusted.
A surprising, unexpected story of love and family, of hope and resilience.
CHILD 44 is a thriller unlike any you have ever read.
"There is no crime."
Stalin's Soviet Union strives to be a paradise for its workers, providing for all of their needs. One of its fundamental pillars is that its citizens live free from the fear of ordinary crime and criminals.
But in this society, millions do live in fear . . . of the State. Death is a whisper away. The mere suspicion of ideological disloyalty-owning a book from the decadent West, the wrong word at the wrong time-sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions. Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force. And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo Demidov.
A war hero with a beautiful wife, Leo lives in relative luxury in Moscow , even providing a decent apartment for his parents. His only ambition has been to serve his country. For this greater good, he has arrested and interrogated.
Then the impossible happens. A different kind of criminal-a murderer-is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time, Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, his world turned upside down, and every belief he's ever held shattered. The only way to save his life and the lives of his family is to uncover this criminal. But in a society that is officially paradise, it's a crime against the State to suggest that a murderer-much less a serial killer-is in their midst. Exiled from his home, with only his wife, Raisa, remaining at his side, Leo must confront the vast resources and reach of the MBG to find and stop a criminal that the State won't admit even exists.
Tom Rob Smith graduated from Cambridge in 2001 and lives in London . Child 44 is his first novel.
也许正如作者在访谈中所提到的, 对于比罗斯托夫开膛手更可怕的战后苏联政治体制的刻画, 加上不输反恐24小时前两季中让人窒息的紧张气氛正是这部处女作如此成功的原因吧. 根据该书改编的电影计划将于明年上映.
