About this audiobook
Summoned to the hospital to learn the motives behind a teenage girl's suicide attempt, Alan discovers that the girl's young stepsister lies near death in another hospital with a heart disease. Denied an experimental new treatment that could save her life by her parent's managed-care provider, the stepsister has become a symbol of a health care system more concerned with costs than with the lives of its patients. And when a wealthy executive of the family's HMO is found dead, Alan and Denver detective Sam Purdy uncover the truth that links the teenage girl to his death, and the truth behind a family willing to kill in the name of love...and revenge.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is yet another in the series featuring psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory in his Boulder, CO practice. I found this series after there were already 10 published. It was a great find. The stories are all very engaging. They are more like putting on a favorite old slipper than a fabulous jeweled pump. I still have 3 more to read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Critical Conditions is the 5th book in the Dr. Alan Gregory series. It started off really good. His patient, Merritt, is a 15 yo girl suspected of murder. However, she is remaining silent and Alan and his detective friend are trying to find out what happened without her help. The book started going downhill when she started speaking again to tell Alan the truth to what happened. It just seemed a little far-fetched.
3.5 stars - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book kept my interest and had lots of twists and turns.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Predictable? Maybe, but the plot is complex and White's dialog is convincing. The Alan Gregory novels always entertain me.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5So predictable.
