Stephen White writes a nice, middle-of-the-road thriller. Scary, but not too scary. Decently written, if not inspired. His hero, Alan Gregory, is a nice, middle-of-the-road psychologist living in Boulder, Colorado with his nice prosecutor wife, their adorable daughter, and two fabulous dogs. Dr G...

In Missing Persons, Dr. Alan Gregory is investigating a missing persons case, hence the title. Meanwhile, a woman is killed in his colleague's office. Later, this same colleague goes missing. All of this makes for a convoluted story that is at times hard to follow. Gregory is continually conflicted ...

Coming into a series at the nineteenth book is not a good idea! This story was filled with allusions to earlier books in the series that would have evoked memories and emotions for fans of the series but I just found them vague and incomprehensible. The protagonist of this story is Dr. Alan Gregory ...

How Stephen Got His Groove Back. I was disappointed by The Last Lie, but White is back in fine form with this one. I blew through it lickety-split. I might have even gone with five stars if not for all the stuff about Amanda's brother's boners (yes, THAT kind of boner). That got old, and didn't cont...

3 1/2 starsI always enjoy the books in this series, some more than others. In comparison with the earlier Alan Gregory novels, I found this one too cerebral, wordy, and dense with descriptions of the architecture, layout, and history of Boulder. I kept thinking White made too many trips to the thesa...

Started off a bit messy in the beginning, and didn't manage to really grasp my full attention later on. It's a nice story, nevertheless, and you can feel the main characters greatest emotions.The plot, I thought, was pretty silly however.

White wrote a good enough thriller, but in the end I was dis­ap­pointed. It’s a solid story, build­ing up and con­nect­ing dots, but when you reach the end, the dots you have been con­nect­ing together with Alan, don’t seem dots at all. The con­nec­tions you made and the out­come you expect, fall fl...

The book dealt with some issues in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I found it compelling reading for that reason but the story line was interesting and captivating as are the story lines of all White's books. I have no idea whether or not White's reading of Mormon practices is acc...

Compulsively readable. Really lived up to the expression "page-turner" for hundreds of pages. I've really enjoyed the Alan Gregory series, but Stephen White saves his best work for his stand-alone novels. First there was Kill Me, and now The Siege. These two books not only tell a superb and suspe...
