ALL THESE PERFECT STRANGERS
Book ID/图书代码： 03540015B80912
English Summary/英文概要： ALL THESE PERFECT STRANGERS has echoes of M.J. Hyland’s How The Light Gets In set against a backdrop of The Secret History. Little by little, through Pen’s flawed narration and tantalising diary entries, secrets, truths and lies are drip-fed to the reader and a dangerous dilemma unfolds, twisting and turning until the very last page. This is an exciting psychological suspense – filmic and dark.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《完美的陌生人们》中有着M•J•海兰德的《夜晚如何降临》的影子，其故事的背景同样为秘史时期。全书借助潘不完美的叙述和引人遐想的日记目录，秘密，真相以及谎言被一点一滴的传递给读者们，而一个危险的艰难选择也逐渐呈现，纠缠、辗转，直至全书的最后一页。这是一部令人激动不已的心理悬疑作品---犹如电影作品一般，充满黑暗。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况："这是一个关于三个死者的故事。或许远远不止，如果你回顾追溯的够深入的话。虽然我现在说这是死者，其实抑或者他们都是谋杀犯，这是个灰色地带。谋杀犯就和美一样，在不同的人眼中会以不同的方式呈现。让我们就以死者来形容他们吧，并姑且认为我也是牵连其中的一员。这个故事可以以一百种不一样的方式被讲述。"在潘•谢泼德进入大学后的六个月里，三名她的新朋友陆续死亡，只有潘知道这背后的原因。
大学给了潘逃离自己在小镇上充满烦扰的过去。在她的新宿舍里，生活就像天堂一般，性、毒品、甚至还有爱情。真实逃离过去和重新改造自己的绝佳场所。殊不知，不论你如何逃离，你都逃得不够快，不够远。当友情遭遇背叛，潘的秘密被公诸于众。结果也是致命的。
‘This is about three deaths. Actually more, if you go back far enough. I say deaths but perhaps all of them were murders. It’s a grey area. Murder, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. So let’s just call them deaths and say I was involved. This story could be told a hundred different ways.’
Within six months of Pen Sheppard starting university three of her new friends are dead. Only Pen knows the reason why.
University offers Pen an escape from her troubled, small-town past. Life in her new halls of residence feels like a wonderland of sex, drugs, and maybe even love. The perfect place to run away from your past and reinvent yourself. But you never can run far or fast enough and when friendships are betrayed, Pen’s secrets are revealed. The consequences are deadly.
