Book Reviews of The Wheat Field (Mysteries & Horror)
Book Review: I figured out the ending early on
Summary: 3 Stars
I normally enjoy Thayer's rather moody prose and unusual style of telling a story but this book was not an absorbing read for me. There were some interesting characters and situations but from the discovery of the two bodies I thought that Thayer telegraphed the denouement. When someone's face is blown away there is always the possiblity that the reader is being set up for a case of mistaken identity as happens in this book. That said, Thayer does a creditable job of "peeling the onion's layers" back from each of his main characters and their interesting, skewed lives and motivations. I agree with an earlier reviewer that Pickard's "Virgin of Small Plains" was a more effective mystery of a somewhat similar type but I still think Thayer excels at characterization and a superb sense of location.
