完美的構(gòu)思，精彩的邏輯推理，引人入勝的刺激情節(jié)，使讀者以緊張的心理狀態(tài)，帶著疑惑和推測(cè)，跟隨故事的發(fā)展，享受一次次驚心動(dòng)魄的破案之旅，讓你的英語(yǔ)閱讀欲罷不能。原汁原味的原著，更深入英語(yǔ)的真實(shí)和本質(zhì)；驚悚懸疑題材的原著，又更能使讀者在輕松快樂(lè)閱讀之后，收獲一份特別的感悟。
著名作家、旅居英倫多年、曾任英國(guó)國(guó)家廣播公司制作人的董橋認(rèn)為讀英文偵探小說(shuō)好處多。董橋說(shuō)：“學(xué)英文有三苦，不在洋人環(huán)境長(zhǎng)大學(xué)洋文學(xué)不進(jìn)骨髓是一苦；死命默記文法語(yǔ)法是二苦；性情內(nèi)向不喜結(jié)交洋人無(wú)從多說(shuō)多練是三苦。而通過(guò)原汁原味的偵探小說(shuō)便可化解這些苦處，苦中尋樂(lè)尋的自然是虛構(gòu)天地的洋人百態(tài)。柴米油鹽固然要學(xué)，親疏愛恨人情世故也要懂得掌握分寸。小說(shuō)多得不得了，讀飽了感同自家經(jīng)歷，陌生的語(yǔ)言漸漸不太陌生，洋文洋話慢慢有了生活氣息，不再學(xué)究。”
《三十九級(jí)臺(tái)階》文筆細(xì)膩通俗，故事情節(jié)懸念叢生，跌宕起伏，驚險(xiǎn)場(chǎng)面令人目不暇接。這部小說(shuō)取得的成功除因驚險(xiǎn)刺激、浪漫而又充滿懸念的冒險(xiǎn)外，還因作者將自己熟悉的政治上的間諜斗爭(zhēng)引入其中，使得小說(shuō)更加驚心動(dòng)魄，更加扣人心弦。1935年，希區(qū)柯克將其改編成電影，由奧斯卡影帝羅伯特·多納特主演，這部電影成為了電影***經(jīng)典的懸疑片之一。
