I See You by Clare Mackintosh

 

You do the same thing every day.
You know exactly where you're going.
You're not alone . . .

When Zoe Walker sees her photo in the classifieds section of a London newspaper, she is determined to find out why it's there. There's no explanation: just a grainy image, a website address and a phone number. She takes it home to her family, who are convinced it's just someone who looks like Zoe. But the next day the advert shows a photo of a different woman, and another the day after that.

Is it a mistake? A coincidence? Or is someone keeping track of every move they make . . .

I have had this book on my TBR pile for a while now and it is a classic right book wrong time as I remember starting it when it first arrived on my kindle and being unable to get into it, however this time I have flown through it and found it gripping, frustrating and unpredictable.

The author has written a very clever storyline in a way that frustrates the life out of you because each time you think you have discovered enough little clues to point to the perpetrator it then proves you wrong and leads you down another path until you accuse everyone other than who is actually at fault and I loved how she managed to do this to me, it kept me clicking through the pages determined to solve the case when in fact it proved that I won’t be moving into an investigator role any time soon!

This is the first storyline that I have read like this and it was thrilling to read, the idea of finding yourself on an advert in a paper and then fearing for your life, never sure who is watching you or what their intentions are sure messes with the mind. It helps that our main character Zoe is a down to earth woman with flaws like the rest of us which only makes her more relatable.

The storyline alternates between Zoe and also Kelly who is investigating this case but who also has a clouded background that provides another web to the story too. We also get snippets from the perpetrator too which are few and far between but really piqued my interest thinking this was my chance to work out who it is and why they are doing this.

If your after an twisty unpredictable read then this will be the perfect book for you.
