Excellent twisty storyline.
Strange what can happen in suburbia.
Keeps you guessing right to the end.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for the opportunity to read and review

"Cat Fight" was one of my more enjoyable reads of the recent times. Toying with the genre of "suburbian noir", this book explores quite a few complex motives, maybe a little too many, considering that some are either rushed or feel abandoned closer to the end.

What I found especially alluring was the aspect of memory and how traumatic events may shape how the individual's mind decides to remember things, quite explicit in the character of Coralie.

Interacting with different characters' points of view also helps to create a fuller picture of each family's, as well as an individual's internal landscape. And as it usually is with the well-of neighbourhoods, it's not always a pretty one. Spousal abuse, gaslighting, affairs and other pastimes of people with a little too much privilege are well portrayed in this book.

Clever, bizarre and unique.

This is a very different read and I really valued the interwoven madness and the more normal mystery/thriller business.

This is for everyone, anyone and definitely a must read.

A fun read with an unusual centre storyline of a roaming big cat. Secrets come to the surface as tensions rise. An addictive read.

I love the conceit behind this. Using the panic of a big cat roaming the suburbs of Kent is a great way of exposing all the cracks in the neighborhood reactions.
This is a fun read with well drawn characters who never felt like caricatures. I found the setting evocative and loved all the chaos and discord and how it slowly built up.
This is a great read and it was absorbing and compelling.
