继玉龙雪山之后,作者再次展现了清初中国西南边陲的风土人情,而高罗佩则更多的是以描写中原地区和江南的汉人为主,可谓各有所长。此外每部作品中Hamza所讲述的狄仁杰探案的彩蛋也极为精彩而有趣。最后希望这个系列能有国内的出版社引进一下吧。
评分Boring!不看第三本了
评分脑洞还ok,但实在喜欢不上作者的叙事。扎杜倒是可以一嗑。

评分http://lockedroom.net/blog/?p=3286 较处女作稍逊,主要是格局不如先前宏大。语言保持作者特色,情节方面还是各路人马汇聚一堂的路数,查案重点在于破解各人的真实身份。和处女作一样中段插入精彩的狄仁杰彩蛋。
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.
In The White Mirror, the follow-up to Elsa Hart’s critically acclaimed debut, Jade Dragon Mountain, Li Du, an imperial librarian and former exile in 18th century China, is now an independent traveler. He is journeying with a trade caravan bound for Lhasa when a detour brings them to a valley hidden between mountain passes. On the icy planks of a wooden bridge, a monk sits in contemplation. Closer inspection reveals that the monk is dead, apparently of a self-inflicted wound. His robes are rent, revealing a strange symbol painted on his chest.
When the rain turns to snow, the caravan is forced to seek hospitality from the local lord while they wait for the storm to pass. The dead monk, Li Du soon learns, was a reclusive painter. According to the family, his bizarre suicide is not surprising, given his obsession with the demon world. But Li Du is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why did the caravan leader detour to this particular valley? Why does the lord’s heir sleep in the barn like a servant? And who is the mysterious woman traveling through the mountain wilds?
Trapped in the snow, surrounded by secrets and an unexplained grief that haunts the manor, Li Du cannot distract himself from memories he’s tried to leave behind. As he discovers irrefutable evidence of the painter’s murder and pieces together the dark circumstances of his death, Li Du must face the reason he will not go home and, ultimately, the reason why he must.
