I'm a Stephen White fan, so I love his work and can't wait for the subsequent novel. You need to start from the very first and work your way through. You don't have to, but some of the side jokes and background will be better understood.

I bought this audio book as a result of damaging my rented copy from the library. They would have charged me over $100.00 to replace it unless I bought a new one. I was able to replace it with a new copy from Amazon for less than $20.00. Now the library has a brand new book, without the scratched disc that I had been trying to hear.

This is the very first Stephen White mystery I've read, though I vaguely recall reading reviews of some of his other books, notably "Kill Me." In "Dry Ice" we have Dr. Alan Gregory, a psychologist, who is pursued by various demons--his relationship with his wife, his career, secrets in his life and, the crux of the novel, the evil machinations of an escaped inmate, Michael Macmillan, and the threats he brings to Gregory and his family. And everyone in the book has some sort of deep secret that hasn't been revealed to their wives or closest associates.
Good points about the book include the atmosphere and surroundings of Boulder, Colorado, which promotes a good sense of place; usually good writing; and some chilling moments, particularly near the end of the book. On the other hand, I found the inner dialogue and italicized angst of Gregory a drag--a little goes a long way. As often happens in mysteries involving ordinary citizens, there is a link with a law enforcement person, in this book Sam, who always seems to be on call to answer any emergency of the hero. Don't these guys have regular duties that they must attend to, other than be a personal retainer? [All right, I know that in some mysteries this is deemed a necessity]. Some of the psychological jargon could have been either left out or explained somewhat better.
Do I read another Stephen White mystery? Maybe, but if I want something that really is compelling, holds my interest, and keep me turning pages, I'll probably look elsewhere.

This book was a waste of my time & money. Characters kept being introduced at random throughtout the read. They were there only to explain the unexplainable and boring plot. I was really turned off by this book. A high school sophmore could have penned something better.

Ok, I will admit I haven't liked Mr. White's books for awhile. His prior "Kill Me", I enjoyed thoroughly which proves he is a fine author but might want to let Dr. Gregory rest for now. In "Dry Ice" I figured let's see if he can grab me with Gregory. No and no. His wife has MS, we know we all know it is a terrible disease but from almost the very first book I have found her to be a royal pain. The good doctor does everything to accommodate and comfort her and still she is always pissed off at him about something. More of this comes out in Dry Ice. Yes they have a conflict of interests due to his patient/client privilege and hers as a prosecutor, but still the title should have been Deep Freeze because that is how Lauren Gregory treats her husband. The plot is there, an old nemesis is loose and they are all targets, including their police friend, Sam. The story drags on to its conclusion with a lot of bending of the law. It hurt me to give it even 3 stars, but he is a good author. He just needs a new protagonist. Don't read unless you are a fan of mountain descriptions.
