The Ones You Do by Daniel WoodrellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The finale of Daniel Woodrell's finale is both better than expected and decidedly lackluster. Coming into the story anticipating another Chandleresque Rene Shade tale we are left wanting.
If you are fortunate to find 'The Ones You Do' alone you might find it a little more amicable.
But this book at the end of the "Bayou Trilogy" is definitely lacking in character observation. The people we have come to love in his earlier books are few and far between, making the book hard to get through.
Definitely not a McCarthy or Thompson or Chandleresque story.
Just a decent crime story told by a great author.
