Description
Overall, I enjoyed the novel. The premise of the story, that our 'personal information' is too public, is very relevant to modern times. And the main characters are fleshed out and interesting. On the downside, the middle of the story moves rather slowly, but this is a minor quibble.
Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an fair and honest review. However...all my complaints about her first book, are gone in this one. I found this book a little more tangible to connect with and more plausible. I love all the layers in these suspense plots from the past and present and how they were tied together. Ms. Burton kept me guessing and changing my mind on who was guilty with an ending that satisfies, but also leaves a scary question mark for the future. William is a steady, strong hero who does not overshadow Zoe, who is a very strong heroine on her own. The romance was believable because they were both at a point in their lives where they were both ready to move on. The sex scenes are steamy and intimate, but not gratuitous. I See You uses an exaggerated situation to remind us of the risks we might encounter in our everyday lives. The paranoia and anxiety increases as Zoe goes from being unsure if she has anything to worry about to feeling hunted. It's an unsettling reminder to stay alert, trust your intuition, and be aware of your surroundings. Whether you like this one will depend on what you want out of your thrillers. My feelings for I See You are similar to my feelings for David Bell's Since You Went Away. I tend to prefer investigations or sociopaths over the parenting of teenagers, but there are always exceptions! This book was entertaining and I suspected almost everyone at one point, but I didn't feel like I was at the center of the action. Lots of dark twists to solve the cold case leading to new cases of young women all with the same features. Is there a serial killer or a coincidence that these young women have features in common and one having a connection with the family from the cold case.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… Miska, Brad (May 14, 2018). "Helen Hunt Shoots Off An Intense Look In First Shot From 'I See You' ". Bloody Disgusting . Retrieved March 9, 2019. Why did her father go on tv to request their safe return when he knew what had happened. Wouldn't not saying anything be safer for his daughter? For that matter, why call police? The female characters stand out stronger than the men.....( but what's surprising about that?) lol.
Can you imagine after there have been women murdered since discovering the picture of yourself --- you come to this thought:So Zoe sees herself in a newspaper ad. A rather suggestive one. Those around her, including the police, dismiss it as coincidence. But then other women appear and the coincidences pile up and we are off to the races… On top of that, Zoe has personal concerns. Zoe's son Justin, a computer nerd who works in a coffee shop - tends to sponge off his mother; FBI Agent Zoe Spencer and Homicide Detective William Vaughan have a somewhat slow burn type of romance with their "friends with benefits" involvement related to the history that they have with one another. The story was well written, the plot good, and the mystery terrific. I loved that she weaved her characters into their respective roles and bringing out the many skeletons held by members of the this seemingly perfect family. Kelly badly wants to redeem herself, and - and when one of the 'photo women' is murdered - manages to get herself seconded to the Murder Investigation Team (MIT). With Kelly's help the MIT discovers that one of the FINDTHEONE' women was raped, and others were crime victims as well. I am afraid that if I give too much detail here I might give the story away BUT I will say that I was left unsettled by some things that happened toward the end of the story.
When Zoe Walker sees her photo in the classified ads in a London newspaper, she is desperate to find out why it's there, and more importantly who put it there. Worse still it's among the ads for 'escorts' chat lines and dating agencies. And so begins this journey of terror that knows no limits, but I don't want to give anything away because I wouldn't want to spoil the journey for YOU. You leave your house to go up work at exactly the same time each day, you sit on the same seat,in the same carriage,on the tube,walk the same path and arrive safely at your destination at the same time. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. I'm giving this one 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I loved the writing and I couldn't put it down.
All the characters in this story are so real, from someone who is the main character right down to someone you would feel in life is insignificant. The book was a solid read. The “who-did-it?” part was pretty straight forward with no real twists and turns. The red herrings were pretty obvious and one can easily guess who didn’t do it even though they stayed in the running throughout. There were only three real contenders so it wasn’t a big stretch no matter how it went. Nothing really to tax the brain at all but a decent read getting there. How was a teenager able to overpower both her mother and father? And if she took her mother with her to hide, why didn't she take her father too? She would have no idea that he would live. If it's just the two of you. Just you, and whoever's behind you. Whoever is chasing you. How fast could you run then?" Kelly takes an interest in the classified ads after Zoe alerts her to a possible connection to the case she's been working on. Finding a connection between the classified ads and other crimes could help her redeem herself. Four years ago, she was demoted from the Sexual Offenses Team to the Neighborhood Policing Team. I loved Kelly's passion for her profession and her protectiveness of her twin sister. She has a victim-focused approach to police work, but she also has issues getting too close to her cases. I was rooting for her! I wish Zoe and Kelly interacted more, because I would have liked to spend more time with her.

Media Reviews
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton comes a gritty, suspenseful story in the Criminal Profiler series. I liked the epilogue but again found it unbelievable, just too much evil to be present in one person’s life among the people that she loves and trusts.
