No Cry for Help – Grant
McKenzie – first published in the UK in 2010
The wife and 2 young sons of
Canadian bus driver Wallace Carver vanish from a shopping mall in the USA. The police suspect him but he is innocent
and has no idea why they have been taken.
Wallace is determined to get them back and he enlists the help of a
friend and his friend’s relatives. The
book is a real page-turner and the pace rarely lets up. However I thought the plot was a bit thin
and unbelievable. There is quite a lots
of violence and several people come to various sticky ends at the hands of each
other and Wallace and his friends. I
found it hard to believe that an ordinary law abiding citizen would have had
the skills and mental and physical strength to survive all the events in the
book. 6/10
