Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have.
When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. He soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking secret. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.
In his most heart-pumping thriller yet, James Patterson plunges us into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kevin T. Collins brings plenty of energy to his reading of this latest offering from Patterson and Ellis. Journalist Ben Casper is paranoid and obsessive, and chief among his obsessions is the beautiful, but unobtainable, woman of his dreams, Diana Hotchkiss. When Diana is found dead, after a fall from her high-rise apartment, the authorities deem it a suicide. But Ben is convinced that her death was really murder and sets out to prove it only to discover that Diana was leading a double life. Kevin T. Collins hands in a first-rate performance in this audio edition. His narration is well paced and crisp, and he skillfully captures the essence of Ben's character. Collins manages to deliver thrills and plenty of fun in this audiobook that will appeal to listeners who don't need to take their thrillers too seriously. A Little, Brown and Company hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Summertime Read
4 Stars. PPSR. Perfect Patterson Summer Read. Outstanding mystery with a completely impossible, unbelievable, crazy story. Ben is actually a good character. I could see him getting another story. I think this one’s from 2013 but in some ways was perfect for our world today. Fast and fun. Patterson’s stand alone’s can be the best read when you just want a thrill ride. This one fit that bill perfectly.

Not to say that Mistress was not a good book, it was decent and I did enjoy the writing, it's not mentally stimulating. There were many times I felt as if the story was just dragging on, and it was a bit predictable. The book was exciting, and I did enjoy reading it, but Mistress was more of a, I don't really want to think about anything and veg out and read, type of book.
