Round the Red Lamp: Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life Book

Blinded features Stephen White's familiar duo of psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory and his buddy, officer Sam Purdy. Gregory is trying to deal with his growing toddler along with his wife, who has MS. He sees an old patient, Gibbs Storey in therapy and she tells him that she believes her husband has murdered a former lover and a bunch of other women. Since Gregory can't go to the police with this, he turns to Sam, who is recovering from a heart attack. They both follow separate investigational paths trying to find out the truth.

This novel is long-winded and not particular interesting at times. It drags on and would be better if it was cut considerably. There is also a lack of believability with much of the plot. Gibbs Storey as a character comes off as not particularly likeable or credible. This is definitely a notch below some of the other Alan Gregory novels I have read. I would advise skipping it.
