Priest2018
童年,成长经历,家庭背景,社会关系,创伤…… 我们不断追溯与求索犯罪者的动机,探寻其中最幽微的喜怒哀乐,不是为了设身处地同情、乃至于原谅他们,不是为了给罪行以开脱的理由,不是为了跪服于所谓人性的复杂,不是为了反思社会矛盾,更不是为了把自己也异化成怪物—— 我们只是在给自己、给仍然对这个世界抱有期望的人——寻找一个公正的交待而已

What a perfect book; it's got everything- murder mysteries, crime, humour, romance and friendships. Priest has touched upon many interesting themes: victimhood, trauma, victims becoming victimisers while drawing a picture of intertwined, multi generational cases and giving a tribute to her favourite novels. The relationships in the novel are fantastically written, be it mentor-mentee connections, the friendship among the team, or the romance between the main leads. If all of this doesn't inspire you to read the book, I'll draw out the ultimate card; there's a cute, fluffy, arrogant cat whose perspective we get to read from.

“You can teach a child to be careful of strangers, to be vigilant, but you can’t make her scared of wearing floral-patterned dresses.”
