Query: Where's the plot?

This books takes the reader to the very edge of suspense but never produces the thrill. I kept hoping, until the very last page, to be awarded with the twist or big payoff at the end of the story. I am a huge fan and normally read a Grisham book in 2 days, this one took me 3 weeks. I forced myself to finish it because I had woven a web in my mind and wanted to see if I was right. It turned out my ending was better than the one in the book. The account of life in a small southern town during the 70's was a pleasant read but not enough to make up for the missing plot and average story.
