Back to the only murdered person in the novel. Throughout the course of the narrative and reasoning of events. The author has always adhered to the writing
Van Da Ying's Detective Novel Twenty Criteria. For example, the detective novel must give the reader and the detective the same opportunity to solve the puzzle, so all the clues must be written clearly; second, the murderer must find out from the logical detective process that there can be no accident or coincidence and no detective basis for self-confession. Third, the author does not have another text description, and the trickery arranged to the reader causes confusion among the reader, and the clues used in the detective process do not exist in the novel that are not provided to the reader.
So this novel is a very standard Western detective novel. The narrative of the novel is narrated, the plot is progressive, and the mysteries are displayed to the reader one by one. Let the reader have a sense of personal experience like a detective.
Of course, in addition to the evolution of these stories that mainly promote the development of the plot, the other scenes in the novel are equally eye-catching, and they do not feel boring or redundant to watch. For example, they were in the town of Sansong, and these neighbors had several gathering scenes. The writing was particularly good for me. The dialogue between the characters is witty and humorous. The atmosphere is revealed everywhere, relaxed and harmonious. Paint a picture of ordinary life scenes in a small town. If a detective novel is just a complete process of reasoning and decryption. Then it will appear particularly dry. The display of the life scene in this novel is full of warmth and warmth, making the characters appear flesh and blood. It feels very homely to read. That's the narrative a successful novel should have.
