From the bestselling author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, a fiendishly fun locked room (train) murder mystery that "offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it" (Nita Prose) -- perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Anthony Horowitz
When the Australian Mystery Writers’ Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.
The program is a who’s who of crime writing royalty:
the debut writer (me!)
the forensic science writer
the blockbuster writer
the legal thriller writer
the literary writer
the psychological suspense writer
But when one of us is murdered, the remaining authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.
Of course, we should also know how to commit one.
How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?

記得差不多一年看看這個作者這個系列的第一本書。所以這本還是沿襲第一本的味道,連書名的節奏都一樣。感覺是就是致敬阿加莎的,跟東方快車謀殺案有著一樣的巧妙。一群看似沒有聯係的作者和其他人員來到了一列穿行在沙漠的火車上。書的前半段交代介紹人物,有點緩慢,感覺故意省略了很多細節,到最後真相大白的時候才説出來。後半部分節奏加快很多,很多黑暗的過去慢慢揭開。帷幕拉開后,參發現安排的巧妙。期待第三本。

死人前有点慢,不过最后的解决还是和上一本一样干净又聪明。

https://lockedroom.net/blog/?p=6667 标题致敬东方快车。文中无数 meta,出场人物不时会跳出小说本体讨论一下故事情节。半程时某推理作家一时技痒,信誓旦旦地召集众人,要以黄金时代作风公布凶手身份,随即便被告知“凶手”死亡,令人忍俊不禁。作者在第一章公然宣告会提到凶手名字 106 次,有计数器的读者可以走偏门找出凶手。

作为Sequel还可以,亮点依旧是对悬疑小说的自嘲

案子很完整但不好笑了。
