A good read but not as good with the therapist/cop duo as Johnathan Kellerman. Alan Gregory is called in to consult on a girl who is brought in to the ER having overdosed and in critical condition. The plot twists in that she is the older sister of a baby who has been in the news due to having heart problems and the managed health care company refusing to pay for what they think is experimental treatment.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the concept of both of the kids in the family being in trouble in different ways.

I loved the character interactions of how they figure out the mysteries of what happened and when. However the ending of this book was awful.

One child is dying of a heart condition and your HMO will not approve the treatments to cure her, your other child has attempted suicide and is in ICU, and may have something to do with the death of an executive of the HMO. Can life get more complicated than that. Dr. Gregory has to step into the middle of this mess and council the young suicide victim.
A very good Alan Gregory novel.

This is yet another in the series featuring psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory in his Boulder, CO practice. I found this series after there were already 10 published. It was a great find. The stories are all very engaging. They are more like putting on a favorite old slipper than a fabulous jeweled pump. I still have 3 more to read!

Not bad! I enjoyed this book, actually. It was kind of a page turner and had some interesting bits, but it had a few lulls. My standard is The Da Vinci Code so 4 stars is really not bad! It's a good book. Recommended. I like this author. He writes from the perspective of a pscychiatrist. Very cool.

I am re-reading the early books in this series, as I missed several of them, and want to read them in order. . I just finished this one, the 6th Alan Gregory book.

Not my favorite of Stephen White's Alan Gregory novels, but it's an interesting look at the managed care health care industry. Exactly what it is...an Industry.

I enjoy psychological thriller mystery books. It is fun to be surprized with a twist ending.

Good detective fluff. One of the authors I read when I don't feel like thinking too much.
