Fang's Mystery Blog: November 2008
http://fangwu.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
The case has, in some respects, been not entirely devoid of interest. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. John Bude, Death in the Ambush. 这是我看的第一本John Bude的小说。第一次知道这个作者是从Sutherland Scott的 Blood in Their Ink. 主人公侦探小说作家来到一个小村庄，认识了家具收集商A。很快主人公发现A在当地声名狼藉，树敌颇多。A结识了当地的一个小伙子B，以及B的父亲C和女朋友D。主人公偶然目睹A和C激烈争吵，但C否认自己和A认识。另外D貌似和A有染。 主人公的好朋友，Scotland Yard的侦探Meredith来到小村。两人去拜访A的时候，在A宅门口发生爆炸，A的一位访客被炸死。Meredith检查现场发现有人设了一个手雷机关，只要脚下绊到一根细索就会引发爆炸。Meredith怀疑凶手是想炸死A。 Meredith调查众人的不在场证明。在终章之前蹦出一条重要线索：有人在附近拾到一把带血的刀子。

Fang's Mystery Blog: Jacques Pendower, Out of This World (1966)
http://fangwu.blogspot.com/2010/05/jacques-pendower-out-of-this-world-1966.html
The case has, in some respects, been not entirely devoid of interest. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Jacques Pendower, Out of This World. 顺便再来介绍一本和通灵会有关的不可能犯罪。没有最烂，只有更烂。这本书开头还比较吸引人，一个大师在众目睽睽之下悬浮并消失，但接下来的情节发展如同白水，以至于完全没有概括的必要。 踩在和背景颜色一样的板子上，表演悬浮。利用光线和背景颜色完成“消失”，其实从秘道溜走。在猫的爪子上抹慢性毒药杀人。 唉，还是怀念Carr的 The Plague Court Murders.

Fang's Mystery Blog: Siobhan Dowd, The London Eye Mystery (2007)
http://fangwu.blogspot.com/2009/06/siobhan-dowd-london-eye-mystery-2007.html
The case has, in some respects, been not entirely devoid of interest. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Siobhan Dowd, The London Eye Mystery. 最近很忙没有时间更新blog，今天来补一篇电梯密室。这部小说出版不久，因此没有收录进bobo的书单。 所谓的London Eye是伦敦的一个大摩天轮。在两个小孩A和B的注视下，小孩C上了摩天轮。摩天轮转了一圈之后，C却没有下来。A和B在摩天轮旋转期间一直盯着C的密封舱，在密封舱到顶的时候还核对过，所以应该没有盯错。 家长向警方报案，三天过去大家都没有找到C，他到底上哪里去了？ A和B提出8种可能的理论，其中有几种纯属搞笑，比如人体自爆和时间黑洞。 C的朋友D戴着假发，穿着外套和C一起入舱，在舱内C把假发和外套交给D穿戴。 C后来跑到一个废弃的大楼里，被A的父亲误锁在里面三天，靠喝厕所水箱里的水度日（好惨），差点玩完。 摩天轮也算电梯啊，汗一下。回头看看这本书。 Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

shadow of the raven: May 2009
http://mysteryonmain.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Shadow of the raven. Mysteries and more from Mystery on Main Street in Brattleboro Vermont. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Oh, how I hate ebooks. Certainly the kindle is the greatest threat to publishing to come along in the past 100 years. Another problem is publishers: How can they produce a hardcover book that retails for $24.95 and turn around to let Amazon and the like sell it for $9.99. Publishers, in this case, are probably the greatest threat to publishing since . well, the ebook. Mystery on Main Street.

shadow of the raven: December 2009
http://mysteryonmain.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Shadow of the raven. Mysteries and more from Mystery on Main Street in Brattleboro Vermont. Monday, December 21, 2009. There have been a number of articles recently on stolen books.that is, the books people steal from bookstores. I'm not sure why people steal anything, and I'm more unsure as to why anyone would steal a book. Books, at least to this bookseller, are sacred and should never be stolen, abused, burned or even have their corners bent to mark a page - that is what a bookmark is for. One wonders...

Shadow of the raven. Mysteries and more from Mystery on Main Street in Brattleboro Vermont. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Oprah Winfrey, the megastar who once espouse buying books as a terrific idea and who increased her brand (i.e., profit) by promoting them, has called Kindle her "favorite new gadget.". The "gadget" comes from Amazon, the behemoth that has helped squash independent bookstores by selling books, often times, below the price that independent bookstores can purchase them. Thursday, October 23...
