took me a really long time...
老派作家的句法和用词都是绝佳的(also crushing my confidence...),静景描写,包括开头和结尾的时空交错感都使整部作品的年代感之厚重得以充分展现。
个人现在更喜欢这种whydunit。特别是作者采取了拿大量psychology和criminology的学术性探讨来推动案情的方法真的大大地满足了本人的爱好。
最后有一点很震撼,the killer tried all his life to prove he was detached, that he was beyond men, but in the end only died being tied to the society pathetically.
3.7-23| so long and boring historical setting nothing but a gimmick in terms of profiling and psychological analysis the entire book can't hold a candle to any one chapter of mindhunter which im afraid will be the norm for me regarding this specific genre
