- 内容简介：An isolated beach on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel is the scene of the murder of Guy Brouard, one of Guernsey’s wealthiest inhabitants and its main benefactor. Forced as a child to flee the Nazis in Paris, Brouard was engaged in his latest project when he died: a museum in honor of those who resisted the German occupation of the island during World War II.It is from this period of time that his murderer may well have come. But there are others on Guernsey with reason to want Guy Brouard dead: his wives, his business associates, his current mistress, the underprivileged teenagers he mentored—any of whom might have harbored a secret motive for murder. As family and friends gather for the reading of the will, Deborah and Simon St. James find that seemingly everyone on the history-haunted island has something to hide. And behind all the lies and alibis, a killer is lurking. In order to bring this person to justice, the St. James must delve into Guernsey’s dark history—both past and present—and into the troubled psyche of someone who may have exacted retribution for the most unspeakable crime of all.In A Place of Hiding, bestselling novelist Elizabeth George marks new territory in the darker landscapes of human relationships. She tells a gripping, suspenseful story of betrayal and devotion, war and remembrance, love and loss...and the higher truths to which we must all ultimately answer.编者评论 - Reed Business Information (c) 2003George\'s novel suffers from too much detail, too many characters, and an excruciatingly slow pace. As a departure from her well-sustained Thomas Lynley series, this mystery is probed by Thomas\'s friends Simon St. James, a forensic scientist, and his wife, Deborah. Their own back story is entwined in the present as they try to prove Deborah\'s old friend China River did not kill the wealthy benefactor of the Island of Guernsey, Guy Brouard. The plot generally stays intriguing as there are many other viable suspects with a variety of secrets, but the pacing of the story and the major players\' weaknesses probably are too distracting for a wide audience. The program might appeal to World War II history buffs because of the subplot about the island\'s occupation by the Nazis. Reader Donada Peters is masterful in multiple languages and accents. Recommended only for libraries with mystery lovers very dedicated to extremely long audiobooks. An abridged version may be a better investment.-Joyce Kessel, Villa Maria Coll., Buffalo, NY 作者简介 (2003)Elizabeth George’s first novel, A Great Deliverance, was honored with the Anthony and Agatha Best First Novel Awards and received the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.
