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 website, a grainy image 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 See You is an edge-of-your-seat, page-turning
psychological thriller from one of the most exciting and successful British
debut talents of 2015.
**********
Three sentences that grabbed me in the book description
not mentioned above:
You do the same thing every day
You know exactly where you’re going.
You’re not alone.
My Thoughts:
How much privacy do you think we really have? With social
media-it’s next to none. Imagine opening a newspaper and finding your picture
shown big as a day on it with no explanation. There are no words to describe
how one would feel. Or is there? Did Clare Mackintish accomplish that goal in,
I See You?
I am absolutely fascinated with psychological thrillers.
Why? I am curious about the human condition and what makes people tick. What
motivates them to commit the acts they do. I do- however- think there is a
fine line writers should not cross in this genre. Some things are too dark and
disturbing for the average reader to venture to or for anyone for that matter.
Clare Mackintosh is one of the few writers who can get into the mind of a
psychopath or sociopath-if you will and stay in the boundaries just enough to
not leave you feeling physically ill. She gives you the right amount of tension
and chill factor to leave you totally creeped out. She has you thinking about
just how much information do you put out there and what could happen. The
ramifications in this story are mind-boggling and so intense!
I love how she has you thinking throughout the whole
story-guessing-who is the perp. Who is the mastermind behind these unnerving
and horrible acts? I was quite surprised the end but started to have my
suspicions about a little over halfway through. I admired how she ended the
story and I wanted more! I would also like to mention I was really intrigued
with how the detectives handled the case and their process.
Be sure to check out I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh as
well! Fabulous read.
I rated this book four and a half stars!
I received an ARC Copy from the publishers through NetGalley
for an honest review.
