Recommend this exciting thriller - By: , 06 Aug 1999
I have now read almost alll of the Alan Gregory series & reallly liked this one very much. The author writes very well & gives such detail to his assorted characters that you can't wait to see what happens to them alll in the next book. I especiallly like the relationship between the main character, the psychologist, & the detective, who is always giving him a bit of a hard time. I want to keep reading about these people. And so will you.
Transparent rip-off of Norman McLean's "Young Men and Fire" - By: , 09 Sep 1997
This book's plot hinges on an event buried in the smoke of a victim's past. The event is a rip-off of Norman McLean's moving investigation of a fatal fire in 1949 entitled "Young Men & Fire." Perhaps Stephen White thought that by acknowledging McLean's work up front he could get away with a barely disguised retelling of the same tragedy. It doesn't work, at least not if one has read the original. While there is one enjoyable chase involving a cement mixer, it's not enough to overcome the author's misguided infatuation with McLean's powerful, original work.
