Boulder psychiatrist Dr. Alan Gregory is a bit melancholy as he attends the funeral of Dr. Arnold Dresser, who died from a fall while climbing Maroon Peak near Aspen. Alan and Arnold were trained at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and stayed in touch though they were never close friends. After the funeral, Alan returns home to take his spouse, Lauren Crowder, who suffers with multiple sclerosis, out to lunch. At the restaurant, a funeral attendee, Dr. A.J. Simes, intrudes on Alan and Lauren when she provides them with privileged information that someone plans to kill Alan and has murdered Arnold.
Alan soon learns that the staff, students, and management who shared Alan's residency are being killed. Apparently, only he and his former lover Dr. Sawyer Sackett are left from the class of '82. No motives and no evidence exists. Alan, Sawyer, and Lauren know they must uncover a serial killer before they end up in harm's way. <PThe Alan Gregory thrillers are some of the best psychological suspense tales on the market today. However, the seventh book, MANNER OF DEATH, is the best novel to date because Stephen White injects jocularity without defacing the critical conditions that confront the lead trio. Mr. White paints a frightening yet promising picture of psychology that adds to the tale. Even higher authorities than this reviewer would tell readers that the Gregory mysteries are all worth reading, but especially this newest entry.

As a reader of this genre for many years I found this to be an absorbing and enjoyable read. A psychogical thriller that draws the reader into its well worked out plot, following a chain of murders to the central character, Alan Gregory, himself. The characters were believable and evoked sympathy.
If you enjoyed reading the exploits of Alex Cross (James Patterson), Temperance Brannan (Kathy Reichs), Harry Bosch (Michael Connolly)or Kay Scarpetta (Patricia Cornwell) then you will enjoy meeting Alan Gregory!

I must admit I'm only 1/4 of the way through this book but I'm rooting for the unknown killer to put Gregory out of his (our) misery. He is pompous, arrogant, and condescending to his wife. He knows everything about everything and is skeptical of the FBI agents who are trying to tell him something. I would have said, "fine buddy, you're on your own" and let him get fried, drowned, shot or whatever. Like these two FBI agents don't have better things to do then BEG this pompous ass to let them help him. What a wind-bag ! No wonder Sawyer dumped him.

Stephen White/Alan Gregory represent REAL mystery writing.
I believe Stephen White is the most under-rated/unknown mystery author in America today. He hits hard, fast and realistic. Alan Gregory is BELIEVABLE. Read more
