Privileged Information

Alan Gregory, Book 1

By: Stephen White

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.©2013 Stephen White (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Decent Mystery

This was my first book by this author. The main character was more interesting than the story. Still trying to decide if I will get another by White.

intriguing and unpredictable

interesting premise and twists and turns a bit slow in the beginning but then gets more exciting

Love the Alan Gregory series

What did you love best about Privileged Information?

It was well plotted and thought out. Not an easy one to figure out.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It did, I kept waiting for the clue that would help figure out what was going on!

Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?

Dick Hill is one of my favorite narrators. He does the perfect Alan Gregory

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Suspense to the end!!

Decent book ruined by painful narration.

Going to ebooks for the remainder of the series. I should have listened to the sample first.

Great Series start

Very solid start to what looks to be a good series. Main character’s dilemma of confidentiality was very well developed. My only qualm was the narration. Most of the female characters were made to sound like they were from Long Island, not Colorado

As ALWAYS, this book was super suspenseful!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and it was amazing as this series usually is. I love Dick Hill's voice! He does them flawlessly. This book was read (listened to) really fast because it was hard for me to put it down!

First Allen Gregory sets up all the rest

great narrator. every voice identifiable, but he makes Purdy from Chicago, not Minnesota. otherwise excellent

Psychological Thriller. . . and More!

Great story! This one will boggle the mind in the beginning. . . I kept wondering where it was leading me, even though I found it very engaging and couldn't stop listening. Stephen White was leading me to an incredible climactic ending that left me shaking my head about the nature of "privileged information" that doctors, psychologists and lawyers legally protect. This is an informative story that has all the great characteristics of a thrilling crime mystery. True, you have to like Dick Hill to get through it, but I tend to like him more than not, so it was okay by me.

A good book! Gets my recommendation for those who enjoy crime thrillers.

great book read terribly

I do not think this novel was done justice through the oral interpretation of the actor.

A great series!

Ive read this series once before. I started when I was about 15 and the series finally ended about 15 years after that and Ive decided to read it again. This was just a complete chance I took trying to find something to occupy myself while waiting for books I had been on the Waitlist for and it changed my reading habits! #suspenseful #modernworkplace #Colorado #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
