James Patterson really delivers a great read with "Cat & Mouse." At first I wasn't really thrilled at the prospect of rehashing Gary Soneji, but it was really well done and executed flawlessly. I was really kept on the edge of my seat wondering what Soneji would do next, and how Cross would counter him.
I did start to wonder how the Mr. Smith storyline was going to be dovetailed into the Cross/Soneji story. However when it finally happened, Patterson did it expertly and I was in no way disappointed, A real, genuine plot twist that I actually didn't see coming.
The body count is high, and the gore factor is ratcheted up a few times, but it's all done very tastefully, as is one of Patterson's trademarks. Also, please note: No character in this book is safe. I got the creepy feeling up my spine the entire time. The pacing was fantastic as well. All in all a top rate mystery/thriller. Highly recommended.
