DULL

While I have enjoyed most of the books in this series thus far, this installment has me thinking that maybe the best of the Alan Gregory stories are found in books 1-12.

Once again Alan Gregory finds himself involved in a dangerous situation that is revolved around his psychology practice. Like Dr. Gregory says on page 80..."Karma does seem to deliver mayhem to my door with disturbing regularity." No kidding!

When I picked up this book after a long day, I didn't get that sense of urgency to get to the next sentence, paragraph, or page. Mostly, I read to get to the end of the chapter, so I could mark my place, and get a good nights sleep. The pages turned about as fast as they would if I were reading the DSM-IV code book cover to cover.

I can appreciate that Stephen White is himself a psychologist and he writes about what he knows. Up until now, I've found his work interesting and his stories fun, however this latest addition just didn't do it for me.

Another One I Couldn't Put Down...

Stephen White continues to please with Missing Persons. It starts with a bang when Alan and Diane find a coworker's body in her office and doesn't let up. As the story progresses, more people disappear without a trace. When Diane goes missing in Las Vegas, it is her husband Raoul to the rescue. Maybe that is one reason I like these novels so much. The main character doesn't have to always be the hero. His supporting characters are multi dimensional with lives and feelings of their own.

Onto his next novel, Kill Me!

Solid Thriller

Another Dr. Alan Gregory mystery. Intersting plot twists. A growing pile of missing persons. What I enjoy most about Mr. White's novels are the psychiatric pathologies of his "clients" and this one has some good pathology. There is probably too much hand wringing about ethics for my blood but A GOOD, QUICK READ!!

Psychologist Alan Gregory finds his own colleague dead, while one of her patients-a young girl-has gone missing from Boulder on Christmas Day. With the police baffled, the answers to both cases may be locked inside the mind of a deeply disturbed client Alan has been treating. Running a maze of dilemmas, Alan takes a bold risk that will cost him his career-or his life. REVIEW; White's best. (Denver Post)
