Seven People Hide And Seek is a creepy, deeply unsettling suspense/detective mystery by Shinzo Mitsuda (one of my favorite Japanese mystery/horror novelists).

To be honest, it isn't Mr. Mitsuda's grandest works (in my opinion, House of Burial, Burial Of Snakes and Shrine of Hundred Snakes are his masterpieces), still Mr. Mitsuda once again frightens and surprises us with his dark, urban-legend-style of creepiness and suspense. I do like how the murder mystery is related to five main characters' innocent child play of hide and seek from nearly 30 years ago. However, I have to say the explanation of the murder mystery isn't strong enough in my eyes.

電話沒打通的當天,就是他在櫻花樹上吊的日子。這是多門英介給自己的賭注,幾乎失去一切的他失去了繼續活下去的動力,但就在他結束自己的生命之前,他想到的唯一一個似乎能讓自己多活一天的念頭,是他幼年時期一起在被大人們視為禁區的山裡遊玩的朋友們。

不如就將自己的生命賭在他們身上吧,要是有一個人沒接電話,我就去死。

這樣想著的他,一晚又一晚撥出電話,而童年時期的好友們每一個都接起了電話。
但他只有五個朋友。還要打給誰呢?
生命中心的八重接起了這通潛藏著一絲求生意志的電話,而電話連接起來的每一個人,似乎都不約而同地從電話裡聽見了……
「不倒翁先生,殺──人了。」

聞名已久的三津田信三XD
這就是一個我一直說要看要看一直沒真的提起動力的作者,於是這本靠著封面奇美無比振奮了我(明明買了很多年沒看是在說什麼)。

-稍微提及結局-

這是一個奇妙地介於虛實之間的故事(我後來發現這幾乎是三津田小說的特色)。他幾乎有著怪談的質感(或者說,鬼故事,但真的要說鬼故事又不至於,而是鄉野間、傳說性質的),卻同時巧妙地嵌進了一個本格殺人事件。
每一步線索的確都在那,殺人事件的動機和手法都十足完整,但在此同時,在這整起事件中唯一沒有被解釋的,就是所有接起電話的人都聽到的那句「不倒翁先生,殺──人了」。
故事裡殺人的確是人,但這細微的令人發毛的聲音卻從未被解釋來源,於是所有的死亡和動機都因而籠上一層冰冷的冤氣,於是每一通電話之所以都會被特定的人接通也彷彿多了一隻無形的手在幕後操縱。

我得說我個人是很愛這種藏在背後的鬼氣的XD
雖然全書我覺得還好(案件部份),但氣氛相當幽暗,以現在的說法來說就是個靈異推理吧(不XD)
