"As appealing as it is inventive." – The Sunday Times
當代英倫新銳偵探作家麥克.迪布丁,繼奧瑞利奧.贊偵探系列之後全新呈現。故事發生於一間高級鄉村旅社「薄暮會所」,有別於傳統客廳謀殺案,迪布丁以其擅場之邏輯推理,懷抱對古典推理小說的誠摯敬意與辛辣諷刺的文筆貫穿全書。喜愛派翠西亞.海史密斯、彼得.迪金森以及露絲.藍黛兒的讀者切勿錯過!
One of England's most acclaimed younger mystery writers, the creator of Detective Aurelio Zen, gives us a brilliant and haunting variation on the classic drawing-room murder novel. The setting is Eventide Lodge, where the guests have gathered for tea. Colonel Weatherby is reading by the fire. Mrs. Hargreave III is whiling away her time at patience. And Miss Rosemary Travis and her friend, Dorothy, are wondering which of their housemates will be the next to die. For even as Michael Dibdin's elderly sleuths debate clues and motives, it becomes clear that Eventide Lodge is not a genteel country inn but a place of ghastly cruelties and humiliations. A place where the logic of murder is . . .almost comforting. At once affectionate homage and audacious satire, The Dying of the Light will delight any aficionado of Patricia Highsmith, Peter Dickinson, or Ruth Rendell.
