Summary: The best Dr. Gregory tale to date
Comment:

Boulder psychiatrist Dr. Alan Gregory is a bit melancholy as he attends the funeral of Dr. Arnold Dresser, who died from a fall while climbing Maroon Peak near Aspen. Alan and Arnold were trained at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and stayed in touch though they were never close friends. After the funeral, Alan returns home to take his spouse, Lauren Crowder, who suffers with multiple sclerosis, out to lunch. At the restaurant, a funeral attendee, Dr. A.J. Simes, intrudes on Alan and Lauren when she provides them with privileged information that someone plans to kill Alan and has murdered Arnold.

Alan soon learns that the staff, students, and management who shared Alan's residency are being killed. Apparently, only he and his former lover Dr. Sawyer Sackett are left from the class of '82. No motives and no evidence exists. Alan, Sawyer, and Lauren know they must uncover a serial killer before they end up in harm's way.

Summary: Alan Gregory saves the day, again!
Comment: One of the reasons I like Stephen White's book so much is his continuity of characters, and his development of characters. His books are so much more interesting when read in the order in which they were written, because of how much character development White does along the way. In Manner of Death, our hero, Alan Gregory, finds himself the target of one of his former patients, who has set out to kill the entire team of psychologists who he had contact with many years ago. Alan is one of the last members of the team surviving, and the culprit is hot on his tail. The true identity of the stalker is completely up in the air until the final chapters, when we are shocked to learn who it is, and what the killer's connection is to D.B. Cooper, the only successful airplane hijacker in U.S. history. This is yet another fast-paced fascinating thriller by White, and it was a pleasure to read. My only criticism is that the ending (the last 3-4 chapters) seemed rushed.

Summary: Continuing the Trend
Comment: Clinical psychologist-cum-sleuth Dr. Alan Gregory returns, this time facing a nameless, faceless entity who is stalking him. Why? No one really knows, but all of the fellow clinicians and physicians Gregory trained with are dead...except one. And she happens to be his ex-lover, whom Gregory's wife, ADA Lauren, knows nothing about. Along for the ride again is prickly detective Sam and a pair of ex-FBI agents who are the only ones who believe the stalker is real. But how do you pursue a criminal whose identity remains shrouded in mystery? One who changes his M.O. so frequently, a pattern cannot be established. One thing is certain, however. His vicious cycle of murder is rapidly increasing.

Full of great action sequences and thoughtful musings, this novel perpetuates White as one of the great psychological/medical thrill writers of the past 10 years. Not to be missed!
