外國人寫的以清代西南邊陲為場景的推理,雖然主綫由耶穌會與多明我會的衝突推動,人物的身份使得情節很容易推測,但在邊域/官場氛圍的塑造上頗見工夫,並不齣戲。(kindle版中國亞馬遜竟然比美亞貴很多,太不閤理)以後應該會有中文版吧。
評分(代標)翻譯3星,語言沒有考慮曆史語境,語感也不太好,也不排除原文一些錶達確實是現代性的;故事4星,前期較平,往後漸入佳境,最後還跟《長安十二時辰》撞梗瞭。作者大概在努力營造中國的氛圍,但視角和口吻還是蠻西方的。
評分http://lockedroom.net/blog/?p=3178 主綫劇情平庸,但支綫數量龐大,尤其是結尾接二連三地引爆隱藏真相,十分過癮。人物眾多,紅鯡魚層齣不窮,指明真凶的唯一一條伏綫還用到冷知識。中間一起和主綫完全無關的狄仁傑密室非常齣彩。作者是中國通,行文好像在看英文版《功夫熊貓》。
評分很喜歡,可能是因為外國人用英文寫中國的事情增加瞭一種親切感。案件很有意思,推理也不錯。

Elsa Hart was born in Rome, Italy, but her earliest memories are of Moscow, where her family lived until 1991. Since then she has lived in the Czech Republic, the U.S.A., and China. She earned a B.A. from Swarthmore College and a J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. She wrote Jade Dragon Mountain in Lijiang, the city formerly known as Dayan. It is her first novel.
On the mountainous border of China and Tibet in 1708, a detective must learn what a killer already knows: that empires rise and fall on the strength of the stories they tell.
Li Du was an imperial librarian. Now he is an exile. Arriving in Dayan, the last Chinese town before the Tibetan border, he is surprised to find it teeming with travelers, soldiers, and merchants. All have come for a spectacle unprecedented in this remote province: an eclipse of the sun commanded by the Emperor himself.
When a Jesuit astronomer is found murdered in the home of the local magistrate, blame is hastily placed on Tibetan bandits. But Li Du suspects this was no random killing. Everyone has secrets: the ambitious magistrate, the powerful consort, the bitter servant, the irreproachable secretary, the East India Company merchant, the nervous missionary, and the traveling storyteller who can't keep his own story straight.
Beyond the sloping roofs and festival banners, Li Du can see the mountain pass that will take him out of China forever. He must choose whether to leave, and embrace his exile, or to stay, and investigate a murder that the town of Dayan seems all too willing to forget.

評分疫情原因宅在家里,倒是让我有时间看完这部令人着迷的推理小说。看完之后,颇多感慨。 如果以纯推理小说来看的话,这本书不太合格。主线略显平庸,行文不疾不徐,高潮来的晚,也没有奇峰迭起的情节设定。 但是,必须说但是!这部看似乏味的小说却有一股迷人的魔力!令人欲罢不...
