溫西爵爺偵探事件簿

Rate this book
「溫西爵爺,三十多歲,單身,無業,
長鼻梁,一頭金髮,戴單眼眼鏡,
住倫敦皮卡迪利街110A,
優雅迷人,嗜好是管人閒事。」

溫西爵爺首次出現於一九二三年的長篇探案《誰的屍體?》(Whose Body?),出身公爵家族,是二十世紀倫敦典型的優雅紳士,而在榭爾絲筆下,更成了古典黃金時期最逗趣迷人的偵探。

他受過大英帝國所能提供最完整高尚的教育,具有非凡的學識,言談間承繼維多利亞時代對於咬文嚼字、引經據典的熱愛;然而一到案件面前,卻搖身一變成了好奇耍寶、又有點自我膨脹的大男孩,天真親民地穿梭在蘇格蘭警場辦案,還是個冷面笑匠!

所有的名偵探都有助手,溫西爵爺也有個「華生醫生」──實際上比華生有用百倍的萬能貼身管家邦特,以及名為「愛貓園」、由幹練的女打字員柯林森組織的地下資訊蒐集站。這支奇怪卻強大的溫西軍團,也在書中成為名偵探強大的破案後援。

本書由溫西爵爺短篇探案中精選出十部膾炙人口的謀殺經典,首度中譯,從教人不寒而慄的〈銅手指男子的黑歷史〉,到所有嫌犯都擁有不在場證明、令偵探苦惱不已的〈絕對不在場〉,獨具匠心、懸念迭起,是一場在溫西爵爺誕生近一世紀的今日,為黃金時代偵探小說愛好者設下的推理盛宴。

我都會在……真的看古典推理時想起我其實一直就對古典推理與趣缺缺XD
但是可以理解說溫西是有魅力的角色,但就不是我菜,可能是因為他太「乾淨」了點,在現在來看很難真的被這樣的人設說服。不過如果在那個年代,他的確很有佳公子的風采吧。案子以現在來說當然不是很獨特(年代被害),不過還是覺得讀起來很有那個時代的風情。再然後到底為什麼偵探都要搞這招啊大家都要有三年大失蹤嗎www
