MGB officer Leo is a man who never questions the Party Line. He arrests whomever he is told to arrest. He dismisses the horrific death of a young boy because he is told to, because he believes the Party stance that there can be no murder in Communist Russia. Leo is the perfect soldier of the regime. But suddenly his confidence that everything he does serves a great good is shaken. He is forced to watch a man he knows to be innocent be brutally tortured. And then he is told to arrest his own wife. Leo understands how the State works: Trust and check, but check particularly on those we trust. He faces a stark choice: his wife or his life. And still the killings of children continue...
首先先说一下翻译,一个字,差。很多句子是明显的chinglish,看着中文我可以想象到英文原文是怎样的,比如说“这肯定会杀了他的父亲”,肯定原文为“it'll kill his father。”稍微有点翻译常识的人都应当知道,翻译成“这会让他的父亲心碎“会好很多。甚至后面还出现了彻底不...

评分首先我必须要表达对该书作者汤姆•罗伯•史密斯的敬意,虽然这是他的处女作却足够让很多悬疑小说名家汗颜了,或者该这么说,单单只是以悬疑恐怖推理这些标签来定义这部小说的恐怕有些不太适合,大部分以上的类型小说都很难与时代有强烈的契合感,换句话说那些小说可以随意...
评分我在写评论的时候,曾经经常愿意把“人性”这个词装饰进文章中,而大多数情况下除了能让文章显得冠冕堂皇一些之外,我并不清楚我为什么要加这个词,因为我还不完全清楚这个词的真正意义。我也曾经常的想,人性究竟是什么,而哪些又算是人性的特征,人性中所有的都是美好而善良...
评分被介绍吸引来看的,讲的是一个发生在前苏联时代的连环谋杀案。案件的侦破受当时时代的局限变得十分之棘手,“国家不承认这种案件。”调查的人也因此陷入危机。由此整本书的后半部分就变成主角为了调查案件所经历的惊险逃亡。 感觉情节上还是蛮紧凑刺激的,十分适合作为...
这侦探小说像1984真实版,关于连环杀人案的内容其实挺少的,而且情节透露比较早,略好猜,2/3的是后男主父母那封信基本可以让人联想前因后果。剧情完全是靠奇葩的基情(误 其实是恶意 来推动的。喜欢女主角蛮讨喜的,机智勇敢而且还比较果断。
评分Best criminal novel ever read!!! The language was extremely absorbing that it took the story to another level.
评分五星半。理想主义的悲歌,极度惊艳的处女作。
评分其实挺土气一个故事,也说不上有多恐怖吧,不过用来练练阅读速度还是蛮合适的,也挺抓人的,Amazon特价29也挺合适的……
评分俄国女人了不起。
