  • 内容简介
  • 《闹鬼的旅馆》是柯林斯的一部集侦探与鬼故事于一体的“奇情小说”。小说围绕着发生在旅馆里的一系列超自然、灵异鬼怪的故事展开,加上理智的推理与侦探,扣人心弦。

    The Haunted Hotel is a clever combination of detective and ghost story set in Venice, a city of grim waterways, dark shadows and death. The action takes place in an ancient palazzo coverted into a modern hotel that houses a grisly secret. The supernatural horror, relentless pace, tight narrative, and a doomed countess characterise and distinguish this powerful tale.
