Query: Thayer tips his hand.

I was looking forward to Mr.Thayer's new novel Silent Snow. Richard Beanblossom was one of the most interesting sleuths to enter the suspense\mystery genre in recent years.In this novel the bizarre characterizations are still there but the plot is easily and quickly solved by the reader (by page 30). The only thing that kept me reading until the end were the interesting references made in the storyline to the Lindberghs.
