The Wife Upstairs

The Wife Upstairs
内容简介:

Meet Jane. Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estates––a gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. The kind of place where no one will notice if Jane lifts the discarded tchotchkes and jewelry off the side tables of her well-heeled clients. Where no one will think to ask if Jane is her real name.

But her luck changes when she meets Eddie Rochester. Recently widowed, Eddie is Thornfield Estates’ most mysterious resident. His wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best friend, their bodies lost to the deep. Jane can’t help but see an opportunity in Eddie––not only is he rich, brooding, and handsome, he could also offer her the kind of protection she’s always yearned for.

Yet as Jane and Eddie fall for each other, Jane is increasingly haunted by the legend of Bea, an ambitious beauty with a rags-to-riches origin story, who launched a wildly successful southern lifestyle brand. How can she, plain Jane, ever measure up? And can she win Eddie’s heart before her past––or his––catches up to her?


RACHEL HAWKINS is the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books for young readers, and her work has been translated in over a dozen countries. She studied gender and sexuality in Victorian literature at Auburn University and currently lives in Alabama. The Wife Upstairs is her first adult novel.

    作为一部悬疑犯罪小说,这本可以说很糟糕了。人物性格、剧情设置、情节安排都不合理,第一人称与第三人称的混用经常让我摸不着头脑,分了那么多Part也是莫名其妙。唯一支撑我听完的是因为全书整个架构套用了《简爱》,人物名字是简➕罗切斯特先生,宠物狗叫Adele,藏人的地方在楼上,连结局的一把火烧光房子也是一摸一样;叫人忍不住地会去对比、推想,结果结局狗屁不通。看到有评论说这书玛丽苏,我甚至觉得连玛丽苏都不如;这书简直是用来高级黑《简爱》的。差评!

    在组织学习的高铁&大巴&酒店听完了这本,实际只值个2.5星,看在打发时间的份上多给半星。【剧透警告】最令我不适的是自述的这仨的心理活动都一言难尽,三观尽碎。Jane,妥妥的bitch,无处不体现出她的拜金拜屌和妄图不劳而获(最气的是结局她狗日的竟然真的能不劳而获?excuse me???)Eddie,妥妥的asshole,靠傍女富豪为生的小白脸;Bea,大写的bitch,Blanche真的是日了狗了吧,才跟这种人做朋友(但是Blanche去勾引Eddie的行为其实也挺婊的)。倒是Tripp三观比较正常,一直为Blanche鸣不平,后来怀疑Eddie还好心提醒Jane。完全没感受到反转,最开始盲猜Eddie,听到一半就基本可以肯定是Bea了,日记憋憋是学gone girl造假那一套嘛。 @2021-06-19 22:24:52 @2021-12-22 11:14:14

    哈哈,我觉得还行。虽然确实没一个招人喜欢的角色,但总体上还是比较page-turner的。
