Soho artist Chad Green is having a bad week. He has been home from the hospital only three days when his dog is shot, his loft is ransacked, and his psychiatrist is murdered. His manic depression is heating up -- of course, he did stop his medication -- and the boundaries between reality and psychosis have started to blur. And, of course, the police are all too ready to look at Chad and see a murderer in his madness.On the plus side, his agent Pamela couldn't be happier. His paintings are selling like cups of coffee at a Starbucks and the publicity that swirls around the young artist is propelling him to breakthrough heights.But Chad is running out of time. Hunted by a killer who shares secrets from his past, pursued by the police and hounded by his own insanity, he struggles to make sense of the chaos that has overrun his life. He has no way out, and to find the answers he must risk all and plunge into a world of total madness.… (altro)

I think 3 out of 5 may be high for this one. This was not the read I had hoped for. Some of the time it wasn't even interesting, let alone scary. I did keep reading, because I had it find out if he was crazy or not. There were many parts that were predictable, even if the ending was not one that you could have seen coming. Now the parts I liked. I did like seeing the world through the eyes of the character when he was on and off his meds. And the ending (climax to finish) was strong and interesting. I recently had a conversation with a writer friend, who looked at me and simply said “make it worse”. This is something Atkins did well I thought, in completely destroying the main character's life in the first few sections of the book. Will I read another by this author? Probably not. If you are at the library, and happen to see it, read the first few pages, and see if it grabs you, maybe it was just me. But I wouldn't go hunting for it. ( )

Easy to read but not much of a thriller. ( )
