Synopsis

Dr. Alan Gregory is a practicing psychologist with a few little problems to work through. He has an office filled with bloody corpses. He has a teenage patient who may be a sad victim or a savage killer. He has a beautiful estranged wife who wants him back in the worst way, and a lovely lover doing her best to keep him. He has a cop who wants him off the case, and an unknown enemy who wants him permanently out of action. To round out his many dilemmas, the list of suspects reads like a Who's Who of his posh Colorado community. And as a Rocky Mountain winter wonderland is swept by a nightmare blizzard of evil, secret sins leave a trail of blood leading to their hiding place deep in the heart and mind of a monstrous murderer...

Maybe it was the narrator - I prefer women to sound like females - not mincy versions of a female impersonator, but more likely it was the lack of plot progression. I just could not get into this book. The protagonist can't seem to decide if he is a psychologist or a detective - and doesn't seem very good in either role. The women are alternatively demanding and whiney - even though they are portrayed as having high responsibility jobs. After two CD's I couldn't take anymore.

This is my first Stephen White novel. I would have been more impressed if I hadn't already read most of Jonathan Kellerman's work. As with Kellerman, White is also a psychologist who has a policeman friend, who is hired by the Boulder Coroner as a consultant, etc., etc. The biggest difference is that......more

This book started off great. Great character development, subtle humor, nice details etc, however the plot was never very clear to me and with about 100 pages left to read, I put it aside not understanding what was going on or where the story was going. The author seems more concerned with describin......more

The 2nd book in psychologist Alan Gregory series by Stephen White. Better than a 3 rating but not quite a 4. I intend to read more of this series and hopefully the characters will continue to develop in what could be a very good series of books. There is plenty going on in the Alan Gregory's life which......more

Goodreads review by Jim on October 21, 2012

This Stephen White has all one could want in a detective mystery. Alan Gregory is a psychologist in Boulder, Colorado. Highly ethical but more so inquisitive and analytical. In a short span of time he has a client murdered by a abusive husband, another blown up in a home explosion, another shot to d......more
