affect

Due to the lack of detectives as the main line of the story and their investigation process, this novel can freely show different attitudes and feelings towards life that ordinary detective novels lack, so that readers can resonate with the life understanding of the characters in the book from a relatively objective perspective.

"no one lives" also combines the types of stories other than crime novels. For example, the psychological activities of many characters, especially Miss Brent and Vera, are long descriptions, and some paragraphs are close to the writing of stream-of-consciousness novels. At the end of the novel, Vograve's self-report also adopts the usual techniques of psychological novels. The typical features of this psychological novel deepen the novel's revelation of human nature.
