Book Description

November 1, 1993
A madman pushes into psychologist Alan Gregory's office, his pistol against a young woman's head. He demands his wife, Claire. She's in the next office, in session with Gregory's partner, Diane Estevez. The cops save Diane, but not Claire or the hostage.

Claire was to testify before a grand jury. Curiously, another witness in the same case dies, also in front of Gregory. Sam Purdy, a detective with the Boulder police, figures Gregory may be able to help with the case.

But Gregory himself needs help. With his own life at risk, he and Diane ransack their files for clues. In this race for truth, life itself is the prize!



Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This nearly flawless psychological thriller about a series of accidental deaths surrounding a grand jury investigation is marred by the smugness of White's series hero, analyst/sleuth Alan Gregory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Page turning suspense, dry humor and romance, November 29, 2000
By 
Carol Peterson Hennekens (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
I've been a big fan of Stephen White for many years. I re-read Private Practices in one sitting last night. It only reconfirmed why I grab White's books as soon as they're printed.

First and fundamentally, White writes with great suspense and lots of unexpected twists and turns. In this book, a ski death, a spousal abuse murder,the crash of the United flight in Sioux City, a gas explosion and a gourmet restaurant all find their way into the tangled web.

Still,when I recommend White to friends (which I do often), the recommendation always includes the wonderful dry humor of the books.About 3/4's of the humor is universal and a healthy forth is directed at Colorado things - weather, the People's Republic of Boulder and skiers. Funny enough for outsiders and really big grins for locals.

One word of caution to new readers of the Alan Gregory series. Unlike many male slueths, Alan doesn't have a new babe in each book. If you want to follow his romantic relationship, as well as the progress of friends and neighbors, this is a series worth reading in sequence. It starts with Priviledged Information. This book, Private Practices, is the second in the series...

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!, August 6, 1999
By A Customer
This is my favorite of all the Alan Gregory series. I really like his cast of characters and they are all featured in this book. Plus I was fascinated with the therapy sessions with the airline crash survivor. This is a fast paced, can't put-it-down kind of book. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying Read, March 31, 2005
By 
Tania Hutchison (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The main plot was well put together, but I really enjoyed the various personal and professional subplots. Alan's dealings with his young patient and with his ex-wife were interesting and gave readers more insight into his personality.

Fans of the series and those new to Stephen White will get a lot out of this book.
