Book Review of The Wheat Field (Pliny Pennington, Bk 1)

Helpful Score: 1


I really enjoyed this book! It definitely wasn't a horror novel but it was a great mystery. Thayer really made me feel as if I were in Wisconsin in 1960, and for that it was very good. I didn't think the novel and crime descriptions were too graphic but as vague as I thought Thayer was, I was still able to get a clear enough picture of the characters and events in my mind. Overall, although I enjoyed the book, I didn't think the plot was very original. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of Thayer's work but I won't necessarily be tracking more of his books down.
