I could not put this book down. I read it in one sitting. It's an easy read, it's entertaining, and it's thrilling.

Stephen White always writes a good mystery thriller and this was no exception. The twist at the end I never saw coming!

Not your traditional mystery novel. Was odd at first having Dr. Gregory acting in a peripheral role, but the story worked for me. The ending was very emotional and thought provoking.

Listened to it as an abridged audiobook. Odd to call it an Alan Gregory novel, as he has only a small role in it. Since I live in CO I love the CO setting - and the Eisenhower Tunnel scene is really good, if unbelievable. About a bunch of rich people, all of them nice and considerate, unlike in real life, and the employees who assist them. But enjoyed it, more than I expected to. Took what could have been a tired and overused idea and built on it nicely.

Great book. Interesting concept, great execution.
The last 100 pages was a bit drawn out- the car chase/traffic jam thing was too long and confusing that I had to skim through some of it- but that's my only complaint.

Great little twist at the end.

Synopsis: What if you could choose when to die?
But once you decide, you can't change your mind. Ever. No matter what.
We've all been there. A loved one or a dear friend becomes desperately ill, or is tragically injured. Maybe an automobile accident, maybe a stroke. Someone – maybe even you – says, "If that ever happens to me, I wish someone would just . . . kill me."
So . . . what if you had a chance to decide, in advance, what level of impairment you were willing to suffer before someone did just that – kill you? And what if you went ahead and hired someone to carry out your instructions? And what if . . .
Well, welcome to Kill Me.
Meet the Death Angels.
It's Alan Gregory's most tantalizing, most provocative, and most controversial case ever. A charming, vivacious man flies into Boulder, walks into Alan's office, and slowly begins to reveal the mess he's in.
The Death Angels are coming. Watch your back.

My thoughts: Oh my, but this was a different sort of thriller. Loved it. Highly recommend it if you like thrillers. It had everything in just the right amounts. Found it very difficult to put it down. I'll definitely be reading more by Mr. White.

I found this book on a library's used-book shelf. I had forgotten how much I liked White's reading- I had read a few of the Alan Gregory novels a few years ago and really enjoyed them. I very much enjoy recurring characters normally (I'm very much into the John Lescroart Dismas Hardy-Abe Glitsky series). This installment was the most unusual I've read to date. White takes some chances here, which is good to see, but with mixed results.
The story revolves around an interesting premise: a person able to afford it can end their life on their own terms by enrolling in a program that will kill you once certain parameters are crossed (i.e. accident leaving that person in a vegetative state, terminal/chronic illness, etc. The main character is a patient of Alan Gregory, and after learning that one of his friends would do no better than live in a vegetative state, he enrolls in the program. He winds up having a horrible accident while skiing, and shortly after enrolling in the program develops a brain aneurysm that would be very difficult to operate on.
The early part of the book reads faster than the later part, which features some adventure scenes. The early part is more psychological, and it is fascinating to read about the thought process of someone enrolling in a program- could someone enrolling in this program be called a coward? How would such a program work without arousing suspicion?
Overall, it's a good-but-not-great read. The lead character is well-written and fleshed out, and the story of his long-lost son definitely makes the plot more fascinating, but I'm not sure about the use of Alan Gregory in this novel. Gregory is a background character, and it almost seemed as if White was forced to include him.

4.5 stars, one of the best of the series. Alan Gregory is a minor figure, the main character tells the story through flashbacks and therapy sessions. Very interesting premises.

This was a very interesting concept for a book, and I enjoyed the thoughts it gave me. I also liked the way it ended, since he got to save his son in the process. I can't say that I felt any deep connection with the book, and it isn't one that I will read again, but I am glad I read it.
