I See You

"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..."

Zoe is on the commuter train one evening when she happens across a photo in a classified ad, an ad listing a website known as FindTheOne.com. What is most surprising is that the photo is of herself, and she has no knowledge of how it got there or what it has to do with the website. A different woman's face appears in the ad each day, and soon Zoe realizes that several of these women have been recent victims of crime -- even of murder. After learning more about the website, she discovers that it's basically a tool to allow men to stalk women, esp. those who tend to follow a predictable routine day-to-day, and her initial worry turns into extreme paranoia.
I've heard that this thriller is not as good as Mackintosh's debut, but I found it intriguing and was rapt until the end. I was torn between conflicting emotions, one minute thinking this was too implausible but then the next I was doubting myself, thinking maybe in today's society this isn't so unbelievable. I will admit I was wrong about the whodunnit and it took me by surprise. There were lots of red herrings in this one, making me second guess myself a lot. Overall I enjoyed this one.
