李察·霍爾（Richard Hull, 1896-1973） 英國作家，原名Richard Henry Sampson，一生本業為會計師。 一九三零年代投入犯罪小說寫作行列，處女作即為《謀殺我姑媽》，此篇小說甫一推出，書評界立刻高呼歡迎新作家來到，稱 讚赫爾有「刻薄的聰慧」。 他的作品受到Francis Isles 的影響，運用「反向」描寫方式，故事主人翁常是令人討厭的各式類型，故事的架構則有不同的錯綜複雜，非常具有實驗性。相較於與他同年代某些情節太過離奇的犯罪小說，他的小說內容顯得平實可信，人物描寫生動真實，尖刻的黑色幽默尤其令人絕倒。 霍爾一生共寫了十五本小說，這些作品已使他列名為三零年代最具創意及才華的小說家行列。

Edward Powell lives with his Aunt Mildred in the Welsh town of Lywll. His aunt thinks Lywll an idyllic place to live, but Edward loathes the countryside – and thinks the company even worse.

First published in 1934, this classic mystery is considered a masterpiece of the inverted detective story, in which it is known "whodunit." The question is "how will they catch 'em?" Highly unpredictable, it contains one of the ...(展开全部)
