BURY THIS

Book ID/图书代码: 07633013B62650

English Summary/英文概要: If twenty-five years can discover the internet, the cell phone, this thing called the iPod, can twenty-five years discover the secret of a girl murdered, abandoned, by the side of the road?

That is the haunting premise of Bury This, an impressionistic literary thriller about the murder of a young girl in small-town Michigan in 1979. Beth Krause was by all intents a good little girl – member of the church choir, beloved daughter of doting parents, friend to the downtrodden. But dig a little deeper into any small town, and conflicts and jealousies begin to appear. And somewhere is that heady mix lies the answer to what really happened to Beth Krause.

Her unsolved murder becomes the stuff of town legend, and twenty-five years later the case is re-ignited when a group of film students start making a documentary on Beth’s fateful life. The town has never fully healed over the loss of Beth, and the new investigation calls into light several key characters: her father, a WWII vet; her mother, once the toast of Manhattan; her best friend, abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself against an abusive father; and the detective, just a rookie when the case broke, haunted by his inability to bring Beth’s murderer to justice. All of these passions will collide once the identity of Beth’s murderer is revealed, proving once again that some secrets can never stay buried.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在这二十五年中,人们发明了互联网、发明了手机、发明了叫做iPod的玩意,但是,这二十五年中埋藏着的少女谋杀弃尸案的秘密,能在二十五年后被揭开吗?

这是印象主义惊悚小说《埋藏》的序言。小说的主题是关于1979年密歇根小镇上的一起少女谋杀案。贝丝•克劳斯(Beth Krause)是一个不折不扣的好女孩——她是教堂唱诗班的成员、穷苦人的朋友、父母的宠儿。但是任何小镇的背后都隐藏着冲突和嫉妒。而这种冲突和嫉妒暗示了25年前在贝丝•克劳斯(Beth Krause)身上发生的事情。

贝丝•克劳斯(Beth Krause)谋杀悬案成为了小镇的传奇。而二十五年后,一组电影专业的学生开始重新研究贝丝(Beth)的命运。小镇还没有彻底脱离贝丝(Beth)遇害的阴影,而新的调查使几个关键人物重新浮出水面:贝丝(Beth)的父亲——一个二战中的兽医;她的母亲——曾经的曼哈顿名人;贝丝(Beth)的挚友——她曾被母亲抛弃,不得不忍受虐待自己的父亲;和一位侦探——他在案件发生时还只是一个新手,心头一直萦绕着无法将凶手绳之以法的遗憾。一旦真凶的身分被揭示,这些情感必将发生碰撞,再次向世人证明:一些秘密永远无法掩藏。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况:“安德里亚•波特斯是个天才,在《埋藏》中,她创造了一个使人狂热的梦境。她的写作风格里有一种冷静的优雅,这使读者几乎忘记去惊叹于她复杂的故事情节。《埋藏》是一本引人入胜、令人兴奋的、露骨的、哥特式的著作。它可以称为《校园秘史》的平民版,但是对读者而言,这本书更使人惊讶。读《埋藏》,你一定会被它的故事所惊呆的。”——马修斯•贝克特,《美国梦机器》

“这是一本情趣横生的,哥特式的,简短的,关键是诗意的小说。《埋藏》从第一句话开始就引人入胜。这本书深深地挖掘了人性的黑暗之谜。”——弗兰克•比尔,《南印第安娜与唐尼布鲁克犯罪小说》(Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook)

“安德里亚•波特斯是用刀尖在写作。在她的笔下,人物变化多端,展开着他们最阴暗的秘密。《埋藏》这本书是惊人的、哀伤的、感性的,充满了悬念。”——迪伦•兰迪斯,《寻常人没有的生活》(Normal People Don’t Live Like This )

《埋藏》是一个惊人的、露骨的故事。它描述了一个被遗弃但并没有被遗忘的女孩、一个充满悬疑的一个小镇、一种破坏性的,来自愤怒、秘密和耻辱的力量。安德里亚•波特斯勇敢地揭露出了我们脆弱的外表下隐藏着的东西,那些我们为了生存而试图埋藏的东西。这是一本露骨而诗意的谋杀推理小说,但它更多地关注的是谋杀的动机,而不是谋杀的凶手或方式,这就使得这本小说更加扣人心弦,使人难以忘怀。——塔拉•艾森,《洛克威故事》(Tara Ison, Rockaway)
