Many mystery writers will have a variety of whimsical ideas when creating novels, whether it is designing characters or designing plots, which can bring readers a unique reading experience. The mystery novel we want to share today is called "The Mystery Player", and if you look at the title of the book, you can see that the story background of this novel is closely related to music.
"Mystery Player" adopts the twin trickery, through the death of the twin player, for the reader to present a very hard-core "logical flow reasoning", this book was once praised as "the best work of the year's reasoning top three" and other praise, this is due to the novel in addition to the readable reasoning, there is also the "musical element" of this feature, the novel appeared in the combination of many classical music and puzzles, I believe that readers who have read this novel will feel novel. The following is the author Cat Special talk about "Mystery Player", in his opinion, the creation of this novel is from the classical music to find the inspiration for the creation.
Author Cat: After communicating with many authors, I found that every author is writing their favorite stories and is happy to share their own life feelings with readers, and I am the same, it is precisely because I am very fascinated by speculative fiction and classical music that I will write works that combine the two, or rather, it is natural.
The love of music naturally stems from the experience of learning the piano as a child, and I have gained great spiritual comfort from listening to classical music works, which express emotions, and classical works can undoubtedly express the richest emotions.
From musical sketches to solo pieces to concertos, symphonic music, and then chamber music; from instrumental works to vocal works to operas; from the classical and romantic period to the twentieth century and then back to Baroque, my own listening experience has also gone through a process from simple to complex, and then back to simple processes, at first like to show off, and then to the rich color contrast of the musical layers, in the past I also liked to compare different versions of the interpretation, in the end, I found that I still returned to the music work itself, Focus on the emotions and ideas contained in the work. These experiences, transformations, and perspectives, I try to convey to the reader through The Mystery Player.
For speculative fiction, I also went through the process from enlightenment to pit, and then from readership to starting to create. Every step on the road of creation is not easy, from writing a small short story of 10,000 words, to being able to write a work that I am satisfied with, I can feel the growth in it. Speculative fiction is a pure puzzle game, a brain race between the author and the reader, and this impact is often addictive like the sense of resonance that comes with listening to classical music.
I read all kinds of books, but only speculative fiction is a fictional genre that attracts me, and whenever I read the author's ingenuity, the novelty of the brain hole, or the kind of empowerment when solving the mystery, it will shock me, and thus get a great pleasure of reading. So when I was creating, I also tried to bring this kind of reading experience to the reader, and I think it would be a great honor if the reader could have the satisfaction of being shocked by the reasoning when closing the book.
