From the acclaimed author of The Rehearsal comes a novel about a young woman on trial for murder in nineteenth-century New Zealand.
On a blustery January day, a prostitute is arrested. In the midst of the 1866 gold rush on the coast of New Zealand, this might have gone unnoticed. But three notable events occur on that same day: a luckless drunk dies, a wealthy man vanishes, and a ship's captain of ill repute cancels all of his business and weighs anchor, as if making an escape.

butterswong11-12因为kindle版减价所以买下来。想去搜一下plot剧透但发现goodreads和douban都没有就作罢。看了四分之一，感觉情节进展缓慢，语言啰嗦。每个人物性格都从第三人称角度来写，在旁观中剖析，让人没有和书中人感同身受的共情感觉。有点枯燥，也许是我不太喜欢看破案小说吧

Viola08-02可读性很强，Page turner，但以畅销剧情类的标准，太长太绕；以严肃文学的标准，缺乏内核；模仿19世纪文风，越往后写得越稀松。怎么得奖的？
