Customer Reviews

great but dated

Wiltse is a talented writer, and this effort is no exception. I was surprised to discover, though, that this book was originally published in 1986. This is a 2002 reissue. The text was more dated than I like, which is to be expected with a book written more than 20 years ago. Not disappointed with the author, just that it's an old book.

Home Again

I came to this book after having read Wiltse's incomparable John Becker series and his latest, Heartland, and was fascinated to find certain strong similarities in locale between Home Again and the excellent Heartland. Both take place in a small town in the midwest and both deal with a man who returns from police work in a larger world, but the way he handles the characters and the plot are both different and fascinating. This current work is a very rare combination of elements in a thriller, it is both exciting and strongly plot driven while also being heart warming and introspective. The relationship of the narrator and his father is poignant, as is the relationship of the father/hero and his best friend. A real surprise, a real treat. I was lucky to find someone with a copy. If you're not so lucky, buy it.
