"The Devil's Trill"
This is a murder suspense mystery novel centered around the tune "The Devil's Trill".
There are actually more puzzling rumors about the origin of the devil's vibrato.
It is said that Tartini often dreamed of learning the most magical violin skills in the world, so he once sold his soul to the devil in a dream in exchange for his violin skills, and the devil played a beautiful piece of music for him. . After waking up from the dream, Tartini wrote down the piece from memory, which is what we know now. Because there are many beautiful but extremely difficult vibratos in the music, it is called "The Devil's Vibrato".
This novel is mixed with too many elements, such as music, death, psychology, plastic surgery, hypnosis, memory conversion, etc. It can be seen that the author has put a lot of effort into creating a suspenseful story. , but there are still many loopholes and doubts.
In fact, the killings could be made more terrifying. For example, the fact that the victims all had tattoos of DEVIL was lightly touched upon by the author. It is a pity that the highlights were missed. (To be honest, this is too old-fashioned.)
The author did not explain much about using the song "Devil's Trill" as a hypnosis to induce the victim to commit suicide.
To develop the novel starting from Ye Anyi, a graduate student majoring in psychology at Beijing Normal University, we can actually use psychoanalysis more deeply to interpret the clues set by the author. For example, every time someone dies, she Received death text message. Such as hypnosis.
The first half feels quite interesting, and the plot of the song's vibrato causing cardiac paralysis and even death in many people is well laid out.
But as I read it, I felt something was wrong. The more I write, the more outrageous it becomes, and the more I write, the more nonsense it gets.
When Ye Anyi said at the end that Dr. Yi was Ouyang Bin, I almost wanted to curse...
Isn't this nonsense?
It actually involves cell division and regeneration. All I can say is, author, your knowledge is too broad... Aren’t you tired of writing novels like this? Speaking in generalities does not equate to being knowledgeable.
Furthermore, the clues of reasoning are almost not in an objective state, but are drawn from Ye Anyi's subjective inferences. I personally believe that truly excellent mystery novels give readers objective clues and allow them to interact together to deduce the answer to the mystery.
Although there are many unsatisfactory aspects of the novel, one thing that must be appreciated is that the cover design, illustrations, posters, and cards are all meticulous and exquisite.
Besides, you can listen to the song "The Devil's Trill" before reading this book, which will make you feel better.
