Any book in White's series with Boulder psychologist, Alan Gregory, is a guaranteed good read. This is no different. All of the members of the team Gregory served his internship with years ago are dying and dying mysteriously. The only two left are Alan and his ex-girlfriend.
I have read several others in the Alan Gregory and enjoyed them all. This is the first I can criticize. The author drags the story out longer than makes for a good read. He could have dropped 50-100 pages and made the book more readable.
