Although I didn't like it as much as I Let You Go, it was definitely a fascinating premise to think that someone could always be watching you and you would never know. The last few pages had that shock factor I enjoy in psychological thrillers. I look forward to other books by MacKintosh.

I was expecting a lot from this second book, and was in no way disappointed. Again I enjoyed the alternating viewpoints and detailed characters, rich setting and accelerating suspense. What I especially appreciated was the wealth of plausible and finely-crafted red herrings! So many potential villains to suspect....

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing until the very last page. With London as a backdrop, I was intrigued with the mystery presented. Zoe, a regular commuter, saw her picture on a classified ad that she didn't place while similar ads had been tied to violent crimes.

This story sparked a lot of questions for me. In this day and age, with technology being what it is, how vulnerable are we to strangers? Anyone can take our photo in public without us knowing about it. We are all so busy with our devices, headphones in our ears and not paying attention to our surroundings. I know I am guilty of it and often wonder if I am truly aware of my surroundings. This story was chilling, not just in the mystery that unfolded, but in how possible, if not plausible, something like could be.

I was “figuring it out” as the story progressed and was pleased that my guesses were wrong each and every time. As the story unfolded, I would find myself thinking, “that doesn’t make sense” only to have more of the story revealed and me thinking “ohhhhh.....”. I enjoyed that the story kept me guessing as it increased my enjoyment.

Really enjoyed this suspenseful read!

I See You is the first book I've read by Clare Mackintosh but it certainly won't be the last. From the very beginning the reader is invested in the story and characters. As the plot develops Ms Mackintosh takes us between a policewoman's view and one woman who is being stalked. A page turner with some edge of your seat moments. The reader is kept guessing until the very end. I was given an early copy to review.

Anything is possible in the technically advanced world today and the thought of being an unsuspecting victim is frightening. Imaging seeing your picture in a newspaper"s classified section knowing you hadn't put it there. Let it go? Investigate further? Just a fluke? Creepy!

Add in some well placed suspicions by the author and you have a great "who dun it". Greed, murder and plot twists keep you on your toes and invested in this story.

Really good job by the author. Easy reading with a writing style that doesn't make you need to go back and say "what?!". I finished it in one setting and would recommend for pleasure or just because the plot is twisted and perhaps entirely possible!

A solid thriller with lots of atmosphere and character. I found the pacing a bit slow for a thriller, but it did bring a strong creep factor. A well told story and excellent sophomore effort from Mackintosh.
