Cut this book at 85 points because of high expectations.

Just for us, very nervous. Good content. There is a secret excitement at the end, but guess to settle down since the first person to think.

The character is a doctor, is a doctor, is a pharmacist, but you are too good to think that if the view of 30 years ago may be wow, now still not wow, pave more than half the book, but the details are stacked well, tell a good story, alternate on the island and in the city, the killer is too good, yes, but secretly hahahahaha, the person will die, do not intend to kill directly, but will also warrant to kill. Really want to give the opportunity to continue the series, but also afraid of disappointment like this. 🥲 This book is read over many lines, still read about the story.

There are books in the story that are not recommended. 🤍🫠

I've read only two investigative novels: The Murder of a Thousand Cranes and the Murder of a Corporal House, I like the first one a lot more, but if in Yuki's series, there are any books that are more fun than the Corporal House suggests, there are black cats and turbines.

... Read moreเมื่อได้อ่านนิยายสืบสวนเรื่อง "คดีฆาตกรรมในบ้านสิบเหลี่ยม" กลับรู้สึกถึงบรรยากาศที่ชวนติดตามมาก โดยเฉพาะการเลือกฉากหลักที่เป็นบ้านบนเกาะร้างที่ห่างไกล ทำให้เรื่องดูมีความลึกลับและเต็มไปด้วยความตึงเครียด เพิ่มความน่ากลัวและทำให้ผู้อ่านรู้สึกเหมือนเข้าไปอยู่ในเหตุการณ์จริง ๆ จากประสบการณ์ของผู้ที่ชอบนิยายสืบสวน ได้ลองเปรียบเทียบเรื่องนี้กับนิยายเรื่องอื่น ๆ ในแนวเดียวกัน พบว่าการปูเรื่องของ "บ้านสิบเหลี่ยม" แม้จะเริ่มต้นช้าและเนือยไปบ้าง แต่องค์ประกอบของข้อมูลที่ซับซ้อนและรายละเอียดที่ซ่อนอยู่ในเล่มกลับช่วยให้การสืบสวนและการไขปริศนาในตอนท้ายมีความน่าติดตามมากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ การเล่นบทบาทของตัวละครที่หลากหลาย เช่น หมอ นิติแพทย์ และเภสัชกร สร้างมิติให้กับเรื่องราวแต่เหมือนจะมีตัวละครหลักที่เก่งเกินธรรมชาติเล็กน้อยจนบางครั้งความสมจริงลดลง แต่ก็เข้าใจได้ว่าเพื่อเพิ่มความน่าตื่นเต้นและพลิกผันให้เรื่องราวเป็นไปอย่างน่าสนใจ อีกสิ่งที่น่าสนใจอย่างมากคือการตั้งฉากการฆาตกรรมในบ้านที่ไม่มีสัญญาณโทรศัพท์และไม่มีเรือเข้าถึง ทำให้การติดต่อสื่อสารในเรื่องมีความจำกัด เพิ่มความลุ้นและความกดดันของตัวละครต่อสถานการณ์ฆาตกรรมที่เกิดขึ้น รวมทั้งยังสะท้อนถึงความรู้สึกโดดเดี่ยวและไม่สามารถพึ่งพาคนอื่นในเวลาที่เกิดเหตุร้าย สำหรับผู้ที่ชื่นชอบการอ่านนิยายแนวสืบสวนลึกลับ นิยายเรื่องนี้ถือเป็นอีกหนึ่งทางเลือกที่น่าสนใจโดยเฉพาะกับแฟนของอายาสึจิ ยูกิโตะ ที่ได้รับคำยอมรับมายาวนานถึงสามทศวรรษ และยอดขายกว่าล้านเล่มที่การันตีคุณภาพของเนื้อหาและการเล่าเรื่อง ในด้านการแนะนำ หากผู้อ่านคนใดสนใจในซีรีส์นี้ ยังมีตัวเลือกอื่น ๆ เช่น "คดีฆาตกรรมนกกระเรียนพันตัว" ซึ่งได้รับความนิยมและคำชมเชยมากกว่าคดีนี้อย่างเห็นได้ชัด และยังมีเล่มอื่นของอ.ยูกิโตะที่อาจเหมาะกับผู้ที่ชอบสไตล์การเล่าเรื่องแบบเข้มข้น สนุกสนานและท้าทายความคิดมากขึ้น โดยสรุป แม้ว่า "คดีฆาตกรรมในบ้านสิบเหลี่ยม" จะมีจังหวะเนือยในบางช่วงและตัวละครที่เก่งเกินจริงในสายตาของบางคน แต่มันก็ยังคงเป็นนิยายสืบสวนที่สร้างบรรยากาศลึกลับและชวนติดตามอย่างน่าสนใจ เหมาะสำหรับผู้ที่ต้องการเรื่องราวฆาตกรรมแบบคลาสสิกที่มีปริศนาและบรรยากาศแปลกใหม่บนเกาะร้างที่เต็มไปด้วยความลับ
