review 1: Dr. Adam Bloom takes pride in his job as a psychiatrist, he loves to help patients that are dealing with the pressures of life.

During this period,he finds out a dark secret from his wife but acting like he is betrayed will only reveal his own secret. As Marissa grow deeper involved with Ian, her life and her family life could be in danger.I have read a few others books by Starr and it enjoyed them. However this one was not all that thrilling, it gave too much away in the beginning. There was no build up or had little anticipation, but the characters were lively. I was disappointed with the way it ended but it is still a decent read.
review 2: Accused of being trigger happy after blowing away a home intruder, Dr. Adam Bloom's hopes of being a national hero turn south in a hurry. Left to pick of the pieces of a shattered marriage, a dysfunctional relationship with his daughter and tormented by the press, Adam's once perfect world comes crashing down in a blaze of glory and gore. This is Starr's most mainstream novel to date - more 'The Follower' pacing and pop fiction than 'Cold Caller' white collar noir but equally as enjoyable. Panic Attack is a slick and smooth thriller told at a white line fever pitch - I couldn't turn the pages fast enough - 5 well deserved Starrs. less

Flat writing, flat characters, flat plot - at least it's consistent.

Pretty good, but a little on the bleak side.
