Title: Reads easily but has very little substance
Review: The only thing missing from Richard Laymon's "Among the Missing" is an Epilogue. Had it contained one, this novel would have been very much like an extremely low budget episode of Barnaby Jones.It's somewhat mislabeled a "horror" novel. It really should be classified as a murder/mystery. The back cover blurb sets up the tale well enough. The story goes something like this: Late night liaison, murder, decapitation, witnesses, police involvement, suspects, twist, resolution. To go into details of any one of these aspects would be to ruin what story there is. This wouldn't be fair to the reader.To his credit, Mr. Laymon has a knack for writing very light prose. This novel can be finished in just under two hours. If you're looking for something simple and not very taxing, this is a novel that certainly fits the bill.It will definitely entertain all of Laymon's fans, but if you're new to his work, this wouldn't be the best to use as a starting point.
