The King of Lies is recommended by the classic novels of reasoning.

The king of lies is American suspense reasoning writer John? Hart's first novel tells the story of a barrister living in the shadow of a violent and overbearing father? Big boy? Volcker struggled in the multiple shadows of his father's murder and finally found a story that really belonged to his life. Although it is a small experiment, the level of storytelling is quite skilled and exquisite. It not only won the The New York Times Best-seller Award of the Year, but also entered the Allen? Poe Award, Anthony Award, Barry Award and McAviti Award are all in the limelight for a while.

John? Hart has published four novels so far, three of which have Chinese versions. Besides the King of Lies, there are Under the River and The Last Child, both of which were awarded to Allen? Therefore, the Chinese version of Poe Award was released on 20 10. On the contrary, the first novel, The King of Lies, was officially published nearly three years later. Interestingly, after reading the Chinese and English versions of Mr. Hart's four works, I feel that King of Lies is actually his best work so far.

King of lies

Unlike directors or craftsmen who need to accumulate experience for a long time, a writer's first novel is likely to be a concentrated summary of the long years before writing. Many writers, even in one writing, have exhausted their talents and inspiration all their lives, and then their works can no longer reproduce their former glory and become the so-called? A writer? There are not a few cases. John? Hart himself came from French literature. Later, in order to make a living, he switched to accounting and law, and obtained a corresponding degree. Immediately, he joined the bank as a clerk, stockbroker and criminal lawyer. In the first half of his life, perhaps because he always had a literary dream, he was often dissatisfied with the lack of creative work, and his career changed quite frequently, so he accumulated a lot of social experience. The book "The King of Lies" is based on his experience as a criminal lawyer: Volcker, the protagonist in the book, is a lawyer in a law firm and often accepts cases assigned by the court.

Reading "The King of Lies" should not care about the progress of the case, Faulkner or Brock, or even who the murderer is after twists and turns, which is less important, John? In his first novel, Hart outlined some feelings of tracing back to the root of his contradiction. For mysterious reasons that others can't see, he pinned himself on the character Volcker, and with a restrained and sincere style, Volcker returned to his original life, and at the same time liberated himself and embarked on the road of writing.
