黑術師的梗鋪了好久喔!! 而且情節的變化與結果, 都顯得很勉強. 看得有點厭煩了. 只給兩顆星.

“「這個暑假, 不能沒有事件發生.」
沒有事件可解, 便無法稱之為偵探 – 號稱 ‘福爾摩斯’ 的大學生偵探明智恭介, 不顧助手葉村讓勸阻, 纏上電影研究社社長, 因為社內怪事連連: 社員自殺, 短片出現恐怖人臉, 即將舉辦的合宿收到恐嚇字條, 令許多社員心生退意. 然而, 別人的麻煩正是偵探的樂趣, 明智死纏爛打想參加合宿卻無法說服社長. 苦惱時, 神秘美少女偵探劍崎比留子現身解圍, 以 ‘不問她目的’ 和 ‘她一同參加’ 為條件, 讓明智與葉村混進其中.
合宿地是深山別墅旅館, 當晚烤肉派對, 青春洋溢的十三位成員齊聚一堂, 氣氛和樂, 私底下各懷鬼胎, 刺探彼此前來的理由; 而任憑偵探百般試探, 大家都閉口不談自殺事件. 轉眼間到了試膽大會時間, 大家踏上指定路線, 遠方森林卻隱隱傳來奇特聲響 – 仔細一聽, 那是令人不安的尖叫, 古怪低吟及雜亂的腳步聲, 如暴風雨前的海浪般湧來 …
偵探一直祈求的 ‘事件’, 這不就來了嗎? 短短半日, ‘溫馨’ 日常就成 ‘溫腥’ 時光. 他們將被迫回別墅, 參加更盛大愉快的活動… 十三人最不可告人的祕密, 一, 一, 曝, 光. “

看完簡直讓人直接昏倒的書. 感覺書背的簡介, 比原作還精彩的樣子. 白眼翻到背後再翻回來, 都沒辦法表達我對這本書的無言. 博客來的簡介居然還稱作者第一本書就 “追上天王" 東野圭吾. 白眼再翻幾翻…
這個故事情節, 就是屍速列車 + 金田一事件簿. 而且那違合感啊, 真的就是把相對倆怨的日韓硬放在同一空間一樣, 很彆扭.
那麼了無新意, 東拼西湊的情節, 居然這麼好評, 我也是醉了.
給一顆星都嫌多.

“A decade ago, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard – then a senator, now a powerful vice president running for the presidency -disappeared in the most sensational missing-person case in the nation’s history. Still unsolved, the mystery remains a national obsession.
For legendary hacker and marine Gibson Vaughn, the case is personal – Suzanne Lombard had been like a sister to him. On the tenth anniversary of her disappearance, the former head of Benjamin Lombard’s security asks for Gibson’s help in a covert investigation of the case, with new evidence in hand.
Haunted by tragic memories, he jumps at the chance to uncover what happened all those years ago. Using his military and technical prowess, he soon discovers multiple conspiracies surrounding the Lombard family – and he encounters powerful, ruthless political players who will do anything to silence him and his team. With new information surfacing that could threaten Lombard’s bid for the presidency, Gibson must stay one step ahead as he navigates a dangerous web to get to the truth.

“人生的每個階段就像一條步道, 我們被莫名的力量導引而置身其中 – 越年少時能做的選擇越少, 然而, 在這少之又少的機會中, 所做的每一個選擇都具有不可思議的力量, 決定了人生往哪一條路徑走. 時光推著我們向前, 一條又一條的路徑, 行走其間之時覺得這就是一切, 時間緩慢, 彷彿進入不見出口的迴圈之中流轉, 悲離如此沉重, 歡合何等生動, 怎料一陣清風吹過, 回頭一望, 在無法察覺的某一步當下, 人生已走進另一條路徑. 昔日如此沉重的悲離故事, 竟是需透過樹枝縫隙眺望, 借助星斗標示方位, 才看得到的遺跡了.
天氣真好, 撫額沉思的繆思少年, 世間火宅內的同行者, 舊雨與新知, 把煩惱這件厚外套掛在樹枝上, 陪我散步吧!"
Robert Galbraith
“I seen a kid killed… He strangled it, up by the horse."
When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike’s office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.
Trying to get to the bottom of Billy’s story, Strike and Robbin Ellacott – once his assistant, now a partner in the agency – set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.
And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike’s own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been – Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that.

While trying to finish this book with difficulties, difficult because it was such a thick but boring book, I couldn’t decide whether it was a detective novel or a romance novel. A very tedious long detective novel or a poorly written romance novel, so to speak. Like the previous three books in this series, Cormoran Strike had some other cases to take care of while he tried to focus on the one he was most interested in. In other words, readers have to “participate" in every teeny tiny, little stuff with Strike. Well, that was still bearable. However, the many descriptions about how Strike and Robin were feeling about each other were really painful for me. The book started with the wedding of Robin and Matthew, and ended with their marriage all together. I really didn’t care how Strike and Robin wanted their relationship to continue. I just didn’t care. A very boring couple! A very dull romance!
I had a very strong sense of deja vu when I read Lethal White, the fourth novel in the Cormoran Strike series. That is, I had the similar feeling when I read the last two books in the Harry Potter series. They were all boring, predictable, nothing new, but also are ones in the series which makes it very difficult do decide whether to continue or not.
I really hope Robert Galbraith, aka J K Rowling, will not try to have the fifth book in the Strike series. To save me the troubles.

這幾年喜歡在熟悉與不熟悉的街道城市中尋找老房子. 宮部美幸這本書真是深得我心啊. 邊讀邊感嘆, 如果也有這麼一本徒步台灣城市的書, 不知有多好. 我肯定要塞進包包裡, 帶著旅行.
我想, 我應該要收集這本書.

幾度嘗試中國作者的書. 看了幾集盜墓筆記, 覺得像是爬了一座又一座的山, 山名不一, 景色倒是很相似. 看久就煩了. 看了不到一集的鬼吹燈, 怎麼人全死光了. 極度血腥, 根本看不下去. 然後是這本心理罪. 有看完啦, 要不要再看第二集, 猶豫中. 是一種另人不舒服的犯罪, 然後, 主角那黑暗欲揭的過去, 從頭到尾, 一直在蘊釀, 整個氛圍也讓我覺得讀得很不舒心.
要看的書好多, 先擱著吧.

“Federal agent Aaron Falk hasn’t been back to the place where he grew up in twenty years. Not since he and his father were run out of town. Even when Falk gets word that his childhood best friend, Luke, is dead and his entire family has been murdered, Falk still isn’t planning on going back. But then he gets a note: Luke lied. You liked. Be at the funeral. And just like that, Falk is swept back into the secrets of the place and people he left so long ago.
When Falk returns for the funeral, Luke’s parents implore him to look into his death – though everyone else in town thinks the case is open-and-shut, they’re sure something’s not right. But as Falk himself knows, it’s hard to get people to change their minds, and sometimes things are not as they appear. Amid the worst drought in a century, long-buried mysteries will resurface, as will the lies that accompany them. And Falk will discover anew what he’s known all along: Sometimes you have to go back home in order to finally leave your past behind.
SOMETIMES IT’S THE SMALLEST OF TOWNS THAT HIDE THE BIGGEST OF SECRETS …
——————————————————————-
At first, I couldn’t understand why Falk’s childhood friend, Gretchen Schoner, kept saying that everybody in the town is feeling depressed because of the drought. To me, in Taiwan, the worst kind of dry season would last no longer than few months. How bad can it be? Until I did some research about The Big Dry in Australia. It began in 1996, and Australia was finally ‘drought-free’ in 2012!!
The river where they used to go swimming, where their childhood friend drowned herself, now almost dries out. What happened twenty years ago and what just happened, are all brought together.
