About this deal

Claire Douglas always wanted to write novels and, after many years of trying to get published, her dream came true when she won the Marie Claire Debut Novel Award in 2013 with THE SISTERS. I See You is a well-written psychological thriller that builds beautifully to its surprising climax…The premise is hauntingly believable and I could definitely see this becoming a movie, not unlike The Girl on the Train. Would love to see this become a series with these multi-faceted characters. Loved it!.. continued It took me a little while to get into, yes, as I found the main character (Zoe) to be...less than endearing. If anything, I worried that I'd not like the book simply because I found her to be overly whiney. Thankfully, that clears up as you really get into the intricacies of what's going on. 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. Routine is comforting to you. It’s familiar, reassuring. Routine makes you feel safe. Routine will kill you.

verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ An intense psychological thriller…[that] revels in surprises and twists…Outstanding.”—The Associated Press Very powerful story, chilling, and gripping, like her debut author a book so powerful it stays in your head, are you being watched? Zoe Walker is a deep creature of habit. She leaves the house at the same time every day and boards the same train every day. She even pinpoints her favorite seats and standing positions while pinned together, elbow to elbow and leg to leg, ready to hit the opening door and escape the madness held within.Things will never be the same again for the couple, given how the ramification of a seemingly tough decision threatens to destroy them both.

I never quite bought into the purpose for which Zoe and other women's photos ended up in the dating service section of the newspaper without their knowledge. 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…

Who's the bad guy? That's the question on everyone's mind when flipping through thrillers. Sometimes, the answer is so painfully obvious it's embarrassing, and other times you're guessing until the final word. Thankfully, I See You fell into the latter. I was 100% convinced it was Person X and I don't think I've ever been happier to have been wrong. What if the stranger had more nefarious plans in mind than a drink?What if he had a thirst and hunger for darker games? Although her loved ones believe that the image on the Ad belongs to someone who looks like her, Zoe finds herself with more questions than answers when pictures of different women are shown in the ensuing days. 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?"

The ending felt clumsy. All of a sudden, the criminal makes a silly mistake and can’t seem to fix it, despite all their previous cleverness. A police officer sends a totally unbelievable communication to a victim. Then the criminal seems to become a completely different person. Then, as the cold light of doubt has been ushered in by this personality swap, and the other unlikely events, the reader might start considering whether the entire concept really works… On New Year's Day, Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbors, friends and family—and Ffion has her own secrets to protect.

It’s a tranquil place full of greenery, where the road twists and turns between dry stone walls and from one town to another. But what if your meeting was no accident?What if they were privy to your exact routine,watched you from afar and planned the whole 'accidental' meeting? Do you think you could ever really know, or trust, another human being? How about your friends? Your own family members?
