8.5
[Sweden] Stig Larsen / 2010 / People's Literature Publishing House
Synopsis: Millennium magazine publisher and financial reporter Blomwest has been ordered to pay a hefty sum for his alleged slander against entrepreneur Winner Strong. Shortly after the incident, Blomwest, whose reputation went bankrupt and was forced to resign, received an invitation from Henry Van Yeer, the head of Van Yeer's business, and asked him to travel to Heardstad to write the history of the Van Yeer family. And put forward high salary and evidence against Winnerstrong in an attempt to attract Blomwest to agree. Blomwest discovers that things are not simple, it turns out that writing family history is just an excuse...
Planet of the West Sea: The author's description of the heroine is completely insane. I can even make up the appearance of the heroine: she looks weak, she is alone, and her response to most things is "indifferent face". Such a girl is actually a genius hacker! The story is narrated in two lines. The two lines are carried out at the same time and complement each other. The sense of documentary is very strong. It is a typical European and American suspense novel. It is worth reading.
"Murder on the Orient Express"
Murder on the Orient Express
9.0
[English] Agatha Christie / 2006 / People's Literature Publishing House
Synopsis: After midnight, a heavy snowfall forced the Orient Express to a halt. This luxury train is at full capacity throughout the year. But that morning it was discovered that a passenger was missing. An American died in his box, he was stabbed twelve times, but the door of his box was locked. As tension builds up, Detective Hercule Poirot comes up with two ways to solve the case...
Planet of the West Sea: Agatha's entry-level work, a classic among classics. Compared with the event itself, the biggest success of this book is probably bringing countless suspense fans into the suspense pit! In addition to the fascinating reasoning process and the ingenious method of killing, the ending of this book is especially addicting. Who would have thought of a detective's final choice? Who can judge whether the detective's final choice is correct or not? Fairness and peace of mind!

[English] Rosamund Lupton / 2017 / Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House
Synopsis: Beatrice lives a very different life from her sister far away in London. She lives well in New York, while her sister, Tess, is just an embarrassed art student in London. Although the two sisters are separated by thousands of miles, they share the most trivial things in life, and nothing can break the family bond between them. Just when Beatrice thought her life would go on steadily and calmly, a sudden phone call disrupted her entire life. My sister is missing. Tess, who had just suffered a stillbirth, had been unable to recover from severe postpartum depression, and everyone assumed she had committed suicide. The police, Beatrice's friends, her fiancé, and even her mother had confirmed this fact. . Only Beatrice was convinced that there must be another reason for her sister's death.
Planet of the West Sea: This work has aroused my great enthusiasm for British suspense novels. In addition to the tortuous process of finding the truth and strong reasoning, emotional suspense novels also incorporate a huge sisterhood. In my opinion, the biggest advantage of this way of writing is the strong contrast it can create: heart-warming family affection vs. cold and cruel reality, shocking! Five-star push!

These clues are clearly visible to everyone, but they are cleverly hidden by the painter...
Planet of the West Sea: A book that subverted my worldview. It never occurred to me that the words turned upside down are still words, and they are completely different words. The process of deciphering and the symbolism of the various symbols is very interesting, and the monuments about religion and Europe are also very fascinatingly written. Just imagine how complicated the story is in one night. Worth reading!
"No One Survives"

8.7
[English] Agatha Christie / 2016 / Nova Press
Synopsis: Ten people of different identities who are strangers to each other are invited to a mansion on an isolated island off the coast of Devon. After the guests arrived, the host did not appear. That night, a mysterious voice made accusations, separately telling everyone the secret of sin in their hearts. Then, a guest died mysteriously. The storm shuts the island off, and "Ten Little Soldiers", an old nursery rhyme, becomes a death spell. As predicted in the song, the guests died one by one... After the killing game was over, no one survived!
West Sea Planet: Reading Agatha's novels will always have a kind of amazement that "even crime is like an art". Not long ago, a domestic variety show of the detective genre also applied the plot of "No Survival" to the show. I have to say that in any era, Agatha has a magical attraction that makes people "pay tribute". This book combines "secret room" survival, mysterious killing techniques and human nature games in one, five-star strong recommendation!

Planet of the West Sea: This book is written by the same author as "Dear Sister". The author chooses a unique writing perspective to lead readers to be immersed in the scene and approach the truth step by step. In the process of traversing the fog, I was deeply shocked by the evil side of human nature hidden under the ordinary appearance, and at the same time, I was also moved by the powerful family power displayed by a family in times of crisis. It is also an emotional suspense novel. Worth reading.

West Sea Planet: I read the book a long time ago, I bought it from the name, and I didn’t expect it to be included in this list. It's been too long since I read it, and I can't remember the specific suspense plot, but the suspenseful atmosphere should be created very well. I still remember the state of fear when I read this book.

Planet of the West Sea: I have seen the movie before reading this book, so I didn't have much expectation for the plot at that time. Unexpectedly, the tension of the book is far stronger than that of the film. The precise description of the text, the jumping and blank settings of the story, completely surpass the film. The author's description of the surrounding environment reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe's suspense novels.
