John Farnley, who was sent to the United States by his parents because of his bad conduct, became the sole heir to the title and property of the Farnley family after the death of his brother Dudley. After returning to China after twenty-five years, the young and frivolous boy has now transformed into a Puritan-like gentleman. He undoubtedly owns Farnley Hall and is married to his childhood sweetheart.
However, Mr. Patrick Gore from the United States visited the house accompanied by a lawyer, claiming that he was the real John Farnley. Gore recounted the past events with confidence, knowing all about Little John's experiences before he was fifteen years old, and finally came up with the trump card of fingerprint verification.
Unexpectedly, just when the fingerprints were being tested and the authenticity was determined, John Farnley drowned in the garden pool. Did he commit suicide because of a guilty conscience?
Reader comments
"Bad Seed" and "Orphan's Resentment" should be considered incisive summaries. After reading this book, who would have said that Karl can't write novels. It starts with gossip, is full of thriller elements, and finally returns to the mystery. I've had enough of the pain I didn't experience with Asimov, and I've been worried that my flesh and blood body will be injured by a doll truck. Is the murderer human? This madness should no longer exist. Even if I pay attention to the details, I wouldn't have expected you to be so extreme. The murderer in the ending is as free and subtle as the final scene of Howl's Moving Castle setting sail into the wind. The people around him are also quite abnormal. Their fraternity is like a black hole, and they are loyal and persistent in their beliefs. Highly recommended for reading at night! ! !
The plot about the real and fake John Farnley in the book is exciting. When I read "Gore recounted the past with confidence and knew everything about John's experiences before he was fifteen years old," I was so nervous that my heart beat faster. I especially hated the fake John Farnley, whose presence made the whole story full of suspense. Looking forward to future developments!
Sir Zhen has a very charming personality and his writing is quite good.
It feels like everyone is a villain, which is interesting, really interesting.
