Description
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 show more 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... show lessTags

After reading his latest book - Warning Signs - and loving it, I was thrilled to learn that it was his 10th book and I had 9 others just waiting for me! I thought that Private Practices was the first one but it turned out to be #2. No matter, it was great. Boulder psychologist Alan Gregory seems to be attracting crime, his offices are broken into, a patient of his partners is shot and killed, one of his own patients is suicidal with a gun and now someone is after Alan himself. What makes White's work such a good read is the way he deals with all of his characters and their surroundings. They are so real and so interesting. I love that I still have 8 more to go.
