From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller White's 13th Alan Gregory thriller gets off to a fast start with the psychologist's discovery of the corpse of his social worker colleague Hannah Green at their shared offices in Boulder, Colo. But the case that propels the narrative is that of "another little girl [who] has disappeared on Christmas night in Boulder." The echoes of the JonBenet Ramsey murder are unmistakable (if never mentioned explicitly), but this time the "little girl" is a teenager, Mallory Miller—and she may simply have run away. Her entire family is dysfunctional: her schizophrenic mother, for example, moved to Las Vegas to indulge her obsession for attending other people's weddings. Then others begin to disappear: Diane, another colleague of Alan and Hannah, who was in Las Vegas searching for Mallory's mother; Bob, one of Gregory's patients with an obsessive interest in Mallory's disappearance; and the mysterious man who lives next door to Mallory. The events are all linked, of course, and Gregory doggedly pursues their connections while juggling his many professional and family responsibilities. The novel wallows too deeply in therapy ethics, and the plot isn't nearly compelling enough to justify its complexity, but as usual the author, himself a psychologist, uses his professional knowledge to paint a convincing backdrop of the world of clinical practice. Expect another bestseller.

From AudioFile
A dead colleague and a missing 14-year-old girl would be enough for Boulder Colorado psychiatrist Alan Gregory to contend with, but then his partner disappears in Las Vegas, a patient can't be found, and a body turns up in the forest. Golden Voice Dick Hill has no trouble being the overanalytic Gregory or maintaining control of a complicated plot. His is an easy narrative style. Voicing the various disturbed patients is a challenge well met. What stands out here, though, are the cameos--the overanxious real estate agent and a loony lady on the phone, for example--which stick with you after the case concludes.
