絡新婦之理 下

百鬼夜行 Chinese Split-Volume Edition

by Natsuhiko Kyogoku, 京極夏彥, 王華懋 (Translator)

昭和二十七年（一九五二）五月二日，東京一名十九歲少女，在房客家門前遭錐狀物刺穿雙眼慘死，以此命案為開端。接連有三十五歲自甘墮落的風塵女子、一名三十歲的女教師，以及二十八歲的綢緞莊老闆娘因同樣手法遇害，震驚社會，媒體稱兇手為「潰眼魔」。警視廳鎖定兇手是首起命案的房客，但兇嫌行蹤不明，且四名被害人找不出共同點，警方偵辦陷入膠著……

在千葉縣偏遠鄉間，一所女子貴族基督教學校 ─ 聖伯納德女學院流言四起：七不可思議、學生集體賣淫、可致詛咒對象死亡的許願星座石、深夜在校園四處徘徊的黑聖母……。一名遭到男老師玷辱的女學生向星座石許願後，男老師竟隨之遭到扼殺，女學生目睹老師屍體後也跳樓自盡，詭異的氣氛瀰漫校園……

與財閥柴田家族關係匪淺的千葉縣巨富織作家，大小姐與入贅老爺相繼猝逝，父女乃遭人毒殺的傳聞甚囂塵上。古董商今川應邀至有「蜘蛛網公館」之稱的織作家鑑定古董，卻發生接班人、入贅女婿慘遭扼殺的命案，而表面富甲一方的織作家還有許多不為人知的內幕。

看似不相關的數起命案，最後都指向織作家。在柴田家族力邀下，榎木津與中禪寺出手干涉，然而仍無法制止相關人物相繼死亡。中禪寺最後如何揪出布下天羅的絡新婦（即蜘蛛），且看京極夏彥佈局精密、情節緊湊、筆力萬鈞的《絡新婦之理》。

Reviews

[Lucida · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has a very sophisticated plot line, and as always, a bit too much. But it has a very interesting feminist angel which is essentially anti-feminism and constitutes a very interesting case study of the tension between individualistic feminism and social/structural feminism.

[Le · Rating 5 out of 5]

精彩的故事线以及并不枯燥的“论文”提供了很多新视角与趣味性。

[Twig · Rating 5 out of 5]

比我想像好看很多！我本身對鬼怪這種東西比較無感，只是因為評價很好才趁打折時買來看，結果越看越上癮，尤其第二冊到後半部幾乎無法停止閱讀。看完之後還會不斷回想並反覆翻看找尋線索，只能說作者太高招了，讓讀者自己當偵探。

整個故事雖長，但故事到最後會反應出前面那些事件，曲折離奇，很多資訊但結構也很嚴謹的推理小說。馬上來購買作者的其他作品！

评价很高看了很失望，事件在一张网上却很散。还不是关口叙述，这时候我意识到我可能是喜欢关口才越来越爱看百鬼夜行系列。

全書頭尾呼應, 絕佳的計謀! 不過本書把所有前作裡的人物通通串在一起, 看得好累...
