G. K. Chesterton的不可能犯罪

June 16

至此,我已整理完毕Chesterton的全部不可能犯罪作品。Chesterton是世界上第一个真正意义上的不可能犯罪大师,一生留下26部不可能犯罪短篇,没有此方面的长篇作品。他的故事构思独特,气氛诡异,文笔优美,对后世作家(尤其是John Dickson Carr)影响极大。

现将他的不可能犯罪作品列清单如下,其中不加标注的是Father Brown系列,HF=Horne Fisher。

密室
The Secret Garden
The Invisible Man
The Wrong Shape
The Absence of Mr. Glass
The Man in the Passage
The Vanishing Prince – HF
The Arrow of Heaven
The Oracle of the Dog
The Miracle of Moon Crescent
The Doom of the Darnaways
The Actor and the Alibi
The Vanishing of Vaudrey
A Tall Story – Pond

无足迹杀人
The Dagger with Wings
The Shadow of the Shark – Gabriel Gale

不可能盗窃
The Soul of the Schoolboy – HF
The Tower of Treason – HF
The Song of the Flying Fish
The Red Moon of Meru

其他
The Hammer of God(一人被不可思议的大力击毙)
The Salad of Colonel Gray(鬼怪骚扰)
The Resurrection of Father Brown(死人复活)
The Curse of the Golden Cross(十三世纪的杀人诅咒)
The Blast of the Book(看过书后即消失)
The Pursuit of Mr Blue(监视现场找不到像凶犯的人)
The Hole in the Wall – HF(冰面上消失)

注:Bob Adey的清单包括了The Three Tools of Death和The Ghost of Gideon Wise,我觉得这两个故事作为不可能犯罪有点勉强。另外,Bob没有收录The Resurrection of Father Brown,我觉得它可以算是比较弱的不可能犯罪。

补:加入Bob Adey没有收录的A Tall Story。
