如何評價阿加莎的小說《無人生還》？

實現看了BBC新出的劇集，才去看了書。

這部作品算得上的，童謠殺人，孤島懸疑的開山鼻祖。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

在小說開始之前，附了一首小詩

Ten little nigger boys went out to dine;

One choked his little self, and then there were nine.

Nine little nigger boys sat up very late;

One overslept himself, and then there were eight.

Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon;

One said he"d stay there, and then there were seven.

Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks;

One chopped himself in half, and then there were six.

Six little nigger boys playing with a hive;

A bumble-bee stung one, and then there were five.

Five little nigger boys going in for law;

One got in chancery, and then there were four.

Four little nigger boys going out to sea;

A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three.

Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo;

A big bear bugged one, and then there were two.

Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun;

One got frizzled up, and then there was one.

One little nigger boy living all alone;

He went and hanged himself

And then there were None

這首殺人小詩把小說的情節基本都交代清楚了

10個人被一個叫U.N.Owen 的人邀請到小島後，然後一個個死去。

最後無人生還啦~

小說最引人入勝之處在於在一兩個細節你會突然覺得XX是兇手啊，然後看下去又發現他/她只是受害者之一，然後又會有下一個嫌疑人出現在你的腦海，不斷往複，直到 無人生還~

另外一點妙處，小說里每個人物的心理都會如實而儘可能地詳盡地以他們的第一人稱告訴你，讓你站在上帝的視角，似乎沒有死角地審視每一個人。所以小說看了一大半，我甚至覺得作者肯定是故意把某個人的心理描寫隱瞞或是修改了。最後看完全書，再回頭確認，依然發現每一個心理描寫都是天衣無縫，只不過在某些重要的環節，被誤導了。

10個人的連環謀殺，小說的情節也遵循著那首整齊押韻的小詩，結構分明，謀殺案規律地進行，屋內的陶瓷人偶一個一個地對應消失，每次死亡情形都和小詩一一對應，每個心理描寫都與小說開頭錄音內對10個人的起訴的罪狀扣上（小說開頭有一個對島上10個人曾犯下的罪行的錄音被播放），讓人產生一種錯覺，進而在某些部分自行腦補，實則小說根本沒有提及的東西，這些東西就是誤導的關鍵。因10場謀殺的連貫和一一對應而產生的「慣性」而放鬆警惕的錯覺，結果忽視某一兩個關鍵的部分，結果看到事件的最後，也無法想出這一切是怎麼發生的，甚至產生「不會真的是超自然的力量」這樣自暴自棄的想法。

直到小說的最後一封簡短的書信。這樣奇特簡短又讓人恍然大悟地，解答了一切

然後又重新翻回到小說開頭，甚至再讀一遍，面對自己被誤導的事實，無奈而興奮。

總覺得阿加莎是借兇手之名，在炫耀自己的智商，嘲弄我（們）啊。
