Title: My first and last Patterson
Review: Having read so many raves about Mr. Patterson's work I looked forward to reading Cat and Mouse. What a disappointment! It was deficient in believability and good dialogue. Mr. Patterson, have you ever really listened to a little girl speak? Her dialogue was like much of the plot - unbelievable. I was bored rather than thrilled with the action when I was not being repelled by the brutality. The author really overreached in trying to scare the reader. I stress "trying"; he did not succeed with this reader. Nobody seemed real - not even the "good guys". I was indifferent to Dr. Cross, Sampson and Christine as they seemed so inauthentic. Grandma was the only distinctive character. The writing is really quite amateurish, repetitious and cliche ridden. I gave it two stars for the rapid read it provided on a long plane trip. Next time I'll bring along a Jonathan Kellerman or a Susan Isaacs for snappy dialogue and engrossing characters.
