Product Description:
Just as Alex Cross is beginning to feel that life is good and he is finally coming out of the depression he's been in since the death of his wife, he is called to Union Station train terminal - a man is on the loose, firing at random into the swarming crowds of travellers. Psychopath Gary Soneji seems determined to go down in a blaze of glory, and he wants Alex Cross to be there. Will this be the final showdown? Two powerful and exciting thrillers packed into one, with the non-stop page-turning quality that is the hallmark of James Patterson's writing, 'Cat and Mouse' is the most original and audacious of the international bestselling Alex Cross novels.
Amazon.com Review:
That monstrous villain Gary Soneji is back in Cat & Mouse, the fourth book in James Patterson's series about Alex Cross, a police forensic psychologist, but he's not alone. In seeming support of the premise that you can never have too much of a bad thing, Patterson has thrown a second serial killer into the mix: Mr. Smith, a mysterious killer terrorizing Europe while Soneji practices his own brand of evil along the Eastern Seaboard. With two killers to track, Cross has his hands full--and Patterson has another hit.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Still looking for a Patterson five star thriller
Many of the reviews commented that they liked the fast read and it should be as there was a lot of white space which didn't take any time at all to read. There are 131 chapters in this book of 338 pages. Chapter number 122 started about 1/3 of the way down on the page and ended about one inch from the bottom of the page; then you look to the right and there was chapter 123. With normal pagination this book would have been less than 200 pages. I don't know why I am mentioning this as all the Alex ... Read More
Rating:  - Not his best. By far
I buy and read Patterson sight unseen. Cat and Mouse was disappointing. Irritably inconsistent and predictable. I hope Mr Patterson hasn't lost it.
Rating:  - Captivating!
I think Cat & Mouse is my favorite Cross series book so far. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the evolution of one of the villains didn't make sense. I don't want to give the storyline away, but if you've read the book, you probably know what I mean.
I'm a little behind in the Patterson books, but I'm feverishly trying to catch up!
Rating: - Exciting page turner..Couldn't put it down
[...] Seriously this was the 4th book in this Alex Cross series, it may not have been all that bad if you knew the back stories/characters. OK, coming off my soap box now.
So the basic story line, Soneji is back and he is a twisted SOB... he wants to take out as many people as possible as well as Cross. He has a plan and the plan unfolds quickly and pretty darn exciting. However through the first half of the book you start to read about this other psycho "Mr. Smith" who is one his ... Read More
Rating:  - Another Great Book!
I really loved this book. Not only did it have the return of the series' best psycho (so far), but it also featured another memorable psycho, Mr. Smith. The ending is so twisted and unbelievable. I loved every minute of it and couldn't get enough of it. S.L.
