A brilliant noir farce, a dystopian vision of Britain, a family history and the story of an obsession. Michael is a lonely, rather pathetic writer, obsessed by the film, 'What A Carve Up!' in which a mad kinfeman cuts his way through the inhabitants of a decrepit stately pile as the thunder rages. Inexplicably he is commissioned to write the family history of the Winshaws, an upper class Yorkshire clan whose members have a finger in every establishment pie, from arms dealing to art dealing, from politics to banking to the popular press and factory farming. During his researches Michael realizes that the Winshaws have cast a blight on his life, as they have on Britain. His confidence, his sexual and personal identity begin to reform. In a climax set in the Winshaw's family seat the novel turns into the film, 'What A Carve Up!' as a murderous maniac stalks the family and Michael discovers the significance of Shirley Eaton's lingere.

阿加莎式的懸疑推理+社會諷刺小說,通過winshaw傢族成員的故事展現二戰後英國各方位的衰敗。對話涉及的時代梗很多,邊查邊看很有趣。特彆是對話,太British瞭,英國黑幽默總是戳我笑點HHH情節還算緊湊,英劇差不多的感覺。這部小說在國內還不大有名啊,英亞4.1/5,值得推薦
評分(1994/2005) R4 w/ Robert Bathurst, Geoffrey Palmer, Arthur Smith & Alan Davies! 欲罷不能之二
