Yes, Zoe works hard and it’s easy to assume that she is ‘put upon’, with her children and Simon all taking advantage of her, but that isn’t entirely the case. In ‘I See You’, Claire Mackintosh’s writing is as addictive as before, it is an utterly chilling and original story that will make everybody reconsider their behaviour as how predictable they are. A creepy set of dating-profile style advertisements in a newspaper are mysteriously linked to a series of crimes against women – but who is posting these profiles? When I got towards the part to reveal who was behind this mess, the reason just didn't seem realistic at all. The story alternates between Zoe Walker's personal life (first person) and PC Kelly Swift's investigation (third person), with occasional interludes from a potential stalker (second person).

Between 1988 and 1995, she attended Aylesbury High School, a regional grammar school, where she learned English, German, and French. The way in which the story is written, the very ordinary nature of the lives of those involved, make it all the more compelling. There, among ads for escort services and dating sites, is her photo - associated with an ad for 'FINDTHEONE. are becoming increasingly better at breaking code even at what was once thought to be deeply embedded software. Zoe Walker is deeply unsettled when she spots her photo buried next to escort services in the London Gazette.Clare Mackintosh is the multi-award-winning author of New York Times bestseller I LET YOU GO, and Sunday Times bestsellers I SEE YOU, LET ME LIE, AFTER THE END, HOSTAGE and THE LAST PARTY Translated into forty languages, her books have sold more than two million copies worldwide, and have spent a combined total of 64 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller chart. she sees connections between zoe's story and a pickpocketing crime she's been assigned, and she insinuates herself into the case, thrilled to be investigating real crimes once more, eager to impress the other detectives and shed her tarnished reputation. Just in case you don’t fully grasp how spectacular I found that book to be, a pristine signed copy has garnered a coveted spot on my bookshelf among the few others I’ve considered worthy over the years. it's a psychological suspense novel and it's one whose goal is to take the quotidian and creepify it, so the reader is left unsettled and uneasy in a familiar, taken-for-granted part of their daily life.

I See You uses an exaggerated situation to remind us of the risks we might encounter in our everyday lives. When I first realized that this author had a new book out I quickly snapped it up as I absolutely loved her first novel I LET YOU GO and was totally shocked with that unforgettable major twist! Zoe is a very ordinary woman – do you think a central character in a thriller needs to be relatable to make the story work?I found the cover and title of this book to be appealing and very fitting which draws you right into this sinister tale of how women are being targeted, watched, and followed while commuting to and from work on the London Underground.

She has a victim-focused approach to police work, but she also has issues getting too close to her cases. I See You made me think really hard about the society that we live in and how our images are out there for the world to see and still. And if someone 'accidentally' bumped into you on any given day,struck up a seemingly innocent conversation the next day you happened to meet and ask if you'd like to perhaps go for dinner or a drink,you'd put such meetings down to happenstance,to pure coincidence,nothing more. I loved Clare Mackintosh's first book and for some reason, two books later I hadn't picked up another.rapists and murderers, bits of clues here and there kept me guessing and anxiously turning the pages to find the perpetrator of the deadly scheme; but then, at what should have been the most intense climatic moment of the whole story, the blow-by-blow (sadly) falls flat with an unconvincingly written encounter. this is a fun thriller, but it requires the reader to accept its premise without questioning its logic, and to suspend disbelief like a mofo. her grown children and live-in boyfriend don't share her alarm - assuring her that the small picture might be of someone else entirely, and zoe reluctantly concedes, although she is still a bit apprehensive. I know that endings like this can be frustrating for some people, but this felt like the right way to finish I See You.

Here's the thing about this book: it is a very strong thriller on its own, however I had such high expectations after reading Mackintosh's I Let You Go, I can't begin to compare. A particular mind-boggling incident, which involved hit-and-run, immensely inspired her and it is reflected on her first book. We never know who might be lurking around the corner, watching our every move, and waiting for the right moment to strike.Clare is patron of the Silver Star Society, a charity based at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, which supports parents experiencing high-risk or difficult pregnancies. One day, while perusing the 'London Gazette' on the train, Zoe is startled to see a picture of herself.
