 Dry Ice Didn't Hold Freshness July 13, 2008
Ok, I will admit I haven't liked Mr. White's books for awhile. His prior "Kill Me", I enjoyed thoroughly which proves he is a fine author but might want to let Dr. Gregory rest for now. In "Dry Ice" I figured let's see if he can grab me with Gregory. No and no. His wife has MS, we know we all know it is a terrible disease but from almost the first book I have found her to be a royal pain. The good doctor does everything to accommodate and comfort her and still she is always pissed off at him about something. More of this comes out in Dry Ice. Yes they have a conflict of interests due to his patient/client privilege and hers as a prosecutor, but still the title should have been Deep Freeze because that is how Lauren Gregory treats her husband. The plot is there, an old nemesis is loose and they are all targets, including their police friend, Sam. The story drags on to its conclusion with a lot of bending of the law. It hurt me to give it even 3 stars, but he is a good author. He just needs a new protagonist. Don't read unless you are a fan of mountain descriptions.
 With a title like Dry Ice..... June 30, 2008
It has to be dry. This book was very......very......slow. Reading it was like treading in quicksand. I really enjoyed his previous novel, but this one was terrible.
 A Portrait of Desperation May 2, 2008
After reading some of the early reviews, I was reluctant to purchase this book, despite being a big 'Alan Gregory' fan. To my surprise, I found myself liking White's Gregory even more in this book. The sense of dismay and desperation that Alan expresses as his life spirals out of control, as the things he holds most dear are threatened, is palpable. Granted, the sheer volume of incidents that serve to unsettle Alan's life does stretch credibility a bit, but the sensation of life conspiring to overwhelm you is all too familiar. The complexity of characters and the plot twists make this an engaging read.
Dry Ice April 14, 2008
I am extremely disappointed that Dick Hill is the narrator of Dry Ice or any Alan Gregory audio book. His voice is too east coast and heavy to fit my mental model of Alan Gregory. It's a jarring narration. Hill's voice is suited for the heavyset Sam Purdy -- not Dr. Gregory. Hill's female voices are not suitable for this narration either. I like Hill for heavy murder mysteries where the protagonist is a big macho man with a deep, heavy voice. (Steven Cannell's books) His narration is distracting on Dry Ice. Get a man with a lighter voice. There are pleny of good ones out there.
 Stephen White April 5, 2008
I love the series of books by Stephen White. They keep me interested right from the start.
