Review: A Good Short Story of Determination

For a short fictional story, this is a good read which keeps one motivated to turning the pages with curiousity and intrigue.  It starts with the kidnapping of Phil's grandson, and from there, it evolves into cat and mouse scenarios of trying to find the person responsible.At one point, I thought the confrontation with the one guy at the Day Care Center was a little incredulous and not realistic due to the possibility of so many witnesses available, especially the woman inside.  Nevertheless, it added to the excitement of the story, and by putting myself in the "imaginary shoes" of the protagonist, I found myself wondering just how far I would go if one of my grandchildren were in similar circumstances.To me, it was predictable in many ways as to specific people involved in the kidnapping, but kept an open mind and continued forward with the read to see how the story would evolve.Overall, if one has read Mr. McDonald's stories, this one is worth getting into and keeps the reader involved just to see where it's going and how it will end.
