Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me a review copy of this novel. This is my book of Ty and I loved his style. I gather that this is a re-worked version of his earlier novel with some additional chapters. Now I am intrigued about Jake and Zasha and wanted to read his other books with them as the lead.

This novel is extremely fast moving and excruciating in detail (like the fight details really make you think and visualize the actual sequence). The plot is interesting and the story is pretty enticing. There are some real nice unexpected twists in the tale towards the end and seem a bit of a stretch in plausibility. but nonetheless it makes for a great read and wanting more at the end.

Look forward to reading more of Ty's works.

Ty Mitchell’s The Catalogue is a sleek, high-octane spy thriller that blends classic espionage tension with modern grit. At its core is homicide detective Jake Penny, whose routine investigation spirals into a deadly chase when he uncovers a murder tied to a covert intelligence program. The stolen file at the heart of the story—the Catalogue—holds the identities of the world’s most elite operatives, making it the ultimate weapon in the wrong hands.

Mitchell crafts the narrative with elegance and urgency, moving from the bustling streets of New York to shadowy corners of international intrigue. The atmosphere is taut, filled with mercenaries, double agents, and betrayals that keep Jake—and the reader—constantly questioning who can be trusted. The presence of a devious NSA agent, whose loyalties remain uncertain, adds another layer of suspense, ensuring the stakes feel both global and deeply personal.

What makes the novel so compelling is its balance of relentless action with sharp psychological twists. Jake’s journey isn’t just about survival—it’s about confronting shocking truths that threaten to unravel everything he thought he knew. The pacing is brisk, the tension razor-sharp, and the revelations hit with satisfying impact.

For fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher, and Tom Clancy, The Catalogue delivers exactly what you crave: a gripping, stylish thriller where every secret has a price, and the cost could be everything.

With thanks to Ty Mitchell, the publisher and netgalley for the ARC

Spy-style stories aren’t usually my thing, but The Catalogue completely pulled me in. The story follows Homicide detective Jake Penny as he’s embroiled in a high-stakes race to recover a file (The Catalogue) containing information that could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands.

The plot moves at just the right speed- tense enough to keep me gripped but also giving moments to really connect with Jake and understand what’s driving him.

Reading it felt like being wrapped up in a mix of suspense and curiosity, through the lens of espionage, murder and betrayal. The characters were varied, often morally ambiguous and I was constantly wondering who to trust and what would happen next. By the end, I was both exhilarated and a little shaken- in the best way.

This was so good I couldn’t put it down..
Page turning action packed read. This book needs to be in its own category of Action! It felt like I was in a Keanu Reeves or Michael Jai White movie! People getting their butts kicked all over the place lol ..
There are many twists and turns in this one, but very easy to follow. I’d say it ended a bit abruptly, I would have liked more of the story regarding the conclusion. But I’m hoping there’s a part two coming out soon, it was that good!

The Catalogue, by Ty Mitchell, follows the protagonist, Jake Penny, a detective tasked with investigating a murder. During his investigation, a federal agent from the NSA elicits his assistance and draws him further into a secret organization seeking a powerful file called the Catalogue, which contains the names and identities of the world's top assassins. The more Jake dives in, the more danger he is put in, and when the odds are against you, who can you trust?
I found this book to be a great read. I enjoyed the story, which keeps you guessing about who you can trust and who has a hidden agenda. The characters are well-written, and the struggle throughout keeps all thrillers saying “one more chapter.” If you are a fan of action and suspense thrillers, put this book on your to-read list. I have never read a book by Ty Mitchell, and now I see I’m missing out.
Thank you, Netgalley, Ty Mitchell, and Red Rope Press, for allowing me to read this book.
