Loading... Dry Ice (2007)by Stephen White
None.  AstridG | Aug 25, 2010 |  Another good read about psychologist Alan Gregory and the mysteries he unravels. (  ) IllanoyGal | Jun 28, 2010 | Apparently this is the sequel to another book White wrote with Dr. Alan Gregory in it, but I followed it very well despite having not read the first book. In fact many sections are devoted to filling in parts of the backstory--which might almost be annoying to those already familiar with it. Dr. Gregory is experiencing problems with marriage, but those problems have to take a backseat to bigger concerns when a former patient of Dr. Gregory--who almost killed him and his family--is found to have escaped. Now Dr. Gregory is in pure survival mode as he tries to stay one step ahead of this killer bent on revenge--and who has had a lot of time to come up with an elaborate plot to obtain it. The suspense in this book is great as the reader follows the twists and turns of frightening events imposed on Dr. Gregory by his former patient. I definitely recommend this to fans of thrillers. (  ) debs4jc | Apr 24, 2009 | I have always passed Stephen White's books up at book sales, etc. Never again. His writing is wonderful, and the content held my interest until the very end. I did skip a few pages, as sometimes I get anxious (my own baggage) when not sure what is going to happen, but I skipped fewer in this book than any other. Great reading, and I recommend it highly. (  ) bakersfieldbarbara | Sep 27, 2008 | I have to say this was one of my least favorite of Stephen White's books BUT it was still very good. (  ) Pam1960ca | Jun 15, 2008 | no reviews | add a review

Baring that it was an interesting story but nowhere near the author's Kill Me. (
