Publisher Description
“[A] well-told suspense story...refreshingly realistic.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Danger feels real in the brilliant I See You…Mackintosh seems destined to do important work for many years to come.”—The Washington Post
“Mackintosh allots her characters the perfect amount of back story, allowing them to carry their own weight throughout the investigation. She also casts enough extras to keep readers guessing who could be behind these attacks…readers may find themselves wanting to reread this one.”—Associated Press
“[A] deliciously creepy tale of urban paranoia.”—Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10
The author of the New York Times bestseller I Let You Go propels readers into a dark and claustrophobic thriller, in which a normal, everyday woman becomes trapped in the confines of her normal, everyday world...
Every morning and evening, Zoe Walker takes the same route to the train station, waits at a certain place on the platform, finds her favorite spot in the car, never suspecting that someone is watching her...
It all starts with a classified ad. During her commute home one night, while glancing through her local paper, Zoe sees her own face staring back at her; a grainy photo along with a phone number and a listing for a website called FindTheOne.com.
Other women begin appearing in the same ad, a different one every day, and Zoe realizes they’ve become the victims of increasingly violent crimes—including murder. With the help of a determined cop, she uncovers the ad’s twisted purpose...A discovery that turns her paranoia into full-blown panic. Zoe is sure that someone close to her has set her up as the next target.
And now that man on the train—the one smiling at Zoe from across the car—could be more than just a friendly stranger. He could be someone who has deliberately chosen her and is ready to make his next move…

"This is my second Clare Mackintosh and I have enjoyed both of her books thus far. She seems to be a solid psychological suspense author with a tone and pace very similar to that of Ruth Ware, and with a penchant for well-thought-out plot twists.Now, on that same note, if you are hoping for a very fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller, just as with Ware, you will not get that here. Mackintosh writes very character-driven narratives, so in this story, we spend a lot of time getting to know our two main characters, their lives, daily activities, and the primary relationships they have.As mentioned above, this story is told from two perspectives. The first, is Zoe Walker, a middle-aged mom who takes the commuter tube every day to work and then returns home to her live-in boyfriend as well as her two adult children from a previous marriage. One day, while on the tube, Zoe sees an ad in the local paper under the advertisements in the Classifieds for chatlines, and is astonished to find her picture, or what she thinks to be her picture, next to it.The other main character is Kelly Swift, a detective who has been demoted after assaulting a rape suspect and is working with Britih Transit Police. She and Zoe connect after Zoe realizes that a woman who was recently pickpocketed on the tube, also had her photo in the same area of the classifieds. And since Kelly was working as part of the transit authority at the time, she had the case and began to listen to Zoe's theories on the connection between the advertisements and these women being victims of crime.The story progresses from there, as more women become victims and Zoe herself is in danger.On the one hand, I found the overarching plot to be extremely clever. I had never encountered a story similar to this and so it was interesting to follow the journey. Additionally, the revealed perpetrator was quite good. It was not a person I had previously suspected.However, at the very end, within the last page or two, a final twist was revealed, and it is actually one I predicted. So while I do appreciate the way it was inserted into the story, having it be almost an afterthought rather than the big climax, I still have to take away points for the predictability.Even so, I enjoyed my reading experience of this book and will definitely be picking up more from Mackintosh in the futre."
