Really enjoyed this book, you never know what will happen until the very end and it always leaves you with a lead in into the next book which in this case is Pop Goes the Weasel. As an old, Mickey Spillane/Mike Hammer reader of the 50's & 60's, it was good to read thrilling, cliff-hanger, mysteries again. Alex Cross like Mike Hammer is a no nonsense detective doing whatever it takes to get the bad guys.

A couple of suprising plot twists really caught me off guard which is unusual. A little hard to identify with some of the characters but over all the book kept me interested and entertained and isn't that the point?

This was the first James Patterson book I read and was immediately drawn into the story. James Patterson does not allow you to guess what is happening. There are too many variables! Now I want to get all Alex Cross Novels and read from the beginning!

As usual, this was a good page-turner from Patterson. This is one of the earlier ALEX CROSS novels that I had not read and I have to say that to me these earlier books are better written than some of the later ones. In this one, Gary Soneji returns (the bad guy from Along Came a Spider) and he is out to get Cross and his family. In addition to Soneji, another even worse serial killer is involved in the story, Mr. Smith, who dissects his victims and leaves them for the police and FBI. There are some good twists in this story and overall I would recommend it.

This is my first exposure to James Patterson and find his style and story line very intriguing and hold my interest quite well. All chapters are quite short and makes stopping points much easier for late night reading as I fall asleep...LOL That's about 3 pages per chapter. Unusual?

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

Gary Soneji and Alex Cross are two of the most intriguing fictional characters I've encountered, James Patterson is amazing at portrayals. It was very difficult to put this book down, the pace was fast and the story continuously climaxed. I would highly recommend this novel for mystery/thriller lovers.
