读过 Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
决定给这本打一星……形式上和上个月读的Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone很类似，都是从悬疑小说作者视角写的亲历案件的书，作者都比较cocky，始终试图用meta的方式展示自己的幽默感，连最后的结局都有点类似，区别是Everyone in My Family的情节特别紧凑、案件比较复杂、穿插的过往经历和案件关联紧密，作者自以为clever有点讨人嫌但不得不说真的还是挺clever的，始终在尝试反套路所以整体观感不错，对比之下这本真的……一言难尽……全程在絮絮叨叨自己的书、笑话一点也不好笑、我更不想知道你和你的男朋友有什么爱恨纠葛，只给我一种作者自以为聪明风趣其实只会絮叨幽默感为零的强烈感受，紧张刺激有趣一个不沾，写成这样还敢书进行到快三分之二才发生命案也是真的蜜汁自信，还有致敬阿加莎可以但是不需要把罗杰疑案和东方快车的手法全剧透了谢谢……可见悬疑小说的原罪不是predictable而是无聊……作者有点自知之明吧
