  <default_description>Alex Cross, the Porsche-driving doctor-detective-profiler-psychologist and single father of two must save his own life as well as the lives of his lover and family in a deadly game of &lt;I&gt;Cat and Mouse&lt;/I&gt;. Cross meets up again with his old nemesis Gary Soneji, the ruthless, bloodthirsty megalomaniac from &lt;I&gt;Along Came a Spider&lt;/I&gt;. Apparently, Soneji isn't too happy with Cross for putting him away and keeping him out of the violent crime loop for five years, so he's back with a bone to pick and a couple of fish to fry--or innocent bystanders to shoot, stab, or bludgeon. Soneji goes on a commuter killing spree in hopes of luring Cross down a bloody trail that ends at the good detective's own home. Cross is hot on the case &lt;I&gt;and&lt;/I&gt; hot for Christine Johnson, his children's babe-a-licious principal who happens to be the widow of George Johnson, one of Soneji's victims. Never mind the coincidence; is Christine a bad-luck charm? Is there another killer? If so, is she or he in cahoots with Soneji? Once again, Patterson delivers a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that's sure to keep the pages flying.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read as an audio book.  It was just okay.  I love Alex Cross, but couldn't get into this storyline.  I love the Cross family characters and am always pleasantly surprised at how James Patterson can write from the perspective of a Black man and do it so well.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As the fourth book in a long series, Cat and Mouse is a very interesting novel. I did not read the books leading up to this one, but I didn't have to. Very thrilling, but not too much action to make it boring.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I quite enjoyed this book-it's the second Patterson I read and the first was more sci-fi than thriller.<br/><br/>I find there are some phrases he overuses but the story kept me interested and involved. I would definately look at others.]]></body>
