Remote Control (Alan Gregory) 
asked by miceandmen on October 31, 2006 10:22 PM
In his fifth book about intrepid Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory, Stephen White zooms in on Gregory's wife, Lauren--an assistant district attorney who has multiple sclerosis. Protecting a friend targeted by anti-abortion terrorists, Lauren shoots at a man during a snowstorm and sets off a blizzard of recriminations. As usual, White makes the evolution of a convoluted plot as believable as the rocky landscape. Previous Gregory adventures available in paperback: Harm's Way, Higher Authority, Private Practices, Privileged Information.

I won't go into detail because others have, but although this book was well-researched and had many plot twists and turns, it was still incredibly boring. It was my first Stephen White book and I am not sure if I will read more.
My other issue was with Emma Spire - her character was not developed enough. It was not clear why the media would be so obsessed with her other than the murder of her father.

I picked this book up for $1 at my library's used book sale. This is the first Steven White book I have read. Based on the cover and the fact that I enjoy mysteries and thrillers I picked it up. Overall, I read it in three train trips (1 hr each) and it held my interest. The plot was a little strange and not very believable. I won't bore you with the details, others have written plenty.
Apparently this is one in a series of books about the doctor, Alan Gregory. Based on this book I suppose I will read another, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find them either.
