Remarkably boring 30 Jan 2011
By Rayne
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book (the Kindle version) on the strength of the first chapter which I read as a sample. The first chapter was promising. Unfortunately, after that it gets boring, more boring, most boring.

Essentially, it's 'talking heads'. A long boring meeting with boring characters making boring presentations and giving longwinded explanations is followed by another boring meeting with people explaining stuff, followed by yet more meetings... I'm sure you get the picture.

I like Stephen White's other novels; indeed, I consider some of them to be masterpieces. 'Cold Case' is not among them.

Compared with his other novels, this one is dull.

I'm giving it two starts because the style is polished the grammar is correct.

No stars for plot, pacing, action or conflict.

A Real Page Turner 5 Feb 2000
By Ellen Bales - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Stephen White, where have you been all my life? I don't know how I've missed him, since I'm a more than avid reader, but I was very pleased with "Cold Case." I read it in record time because I just couldn't stop turning the pages. I really like Alan Gregory's character. He reminds me a bit of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware, and I liked Lauren Crowder much better than Delaware's live-in, Robin. Even the dog, Emily, was a good character. The book certainly captured my interest and the ending lived up to the rest. I'll be looking for all the other Alan Gregory books.

Excellent thriller 28 Dec 1999
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Over ten years have passed since two Steamboat Springs High School juniors, Tami Franklin and Mariko Hamamoto, vanished just before Thanksgiving in Colorado. Their corpses were found a year later. The case was never solved.

Now, the Locard network of criminologists wants to re-look at the COLD CASE. They ask psychological profiler Dr. Alan Gregory and his spouse Assistant District Attorney Lauren Crowder to help them. The Locard group knows they need local talent to counterbalance the impact of a popular, high visibility celebrity, Congressman Dr. Raymond Welle, who is directly involved in the case. He provided psychological services to Mariko. Additionally, the sister of Lauren's first husband was once married to Raymond before she was brutally murdered by one of his patients. Alan begins to develop a profile on the two victims, their family members, and anyone else tied to the original case. The mounting evidence points towards Raymond as the prime suspect in three murders, but doesn't prove it beyond a shadow of doubt.

Alan and Lauren are entertaining lead protagonists because they are atypical of the perfect hunk/hunkette who solve crimes. Instead, Alan seems more like a college professor and the pregnant Lauren suffers from multiple sclerosis. Though the descriptions of the Rockies are breathtaking, it actually slows down a brilliant murder mystery. The Locard connection is especially enticing and hopefully, Stephen White will provide tales from their files in future novels. In his eighth appearance, Alan Gregory retains his freshness in a wonderful novel that will elate series and sub-genre fans.

Enjoyable thriller 26 April 2000
By Elizabeth Klisiewicz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Stephen White is another novelist in the Jonathan Kellerman vein, and while he lacks a colorful sidekick like Milo of the Alex Delaware series, his psychological background comes to the fore throughout this novel. Alan Gregory is a bit of a cipher since you never really can figure him out. His first person viewpoint reaches out and fleshes out the various people running through the story, but he's rarely introspective enough to get a real good fix on him. That, and the bad guys are as obvious as the nose on your face. Still, this was a good read with a quick moving plot that never bored me. His knowledge of the terrain in Colorado was also an advantage. I never had any problem envisioning any of the beautiful scenery and the description of the ranch house made me want to see it for myself.

Will I read more in this series? Probably. And I will definitely recommend it to anyone needing a good beach book.
