You do the same thing every day.
You know exactly where you're going.
You're not alone . . .
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 grainy image, a website address 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 . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Divorced middle-aged mum Zoe Walker, the narrator of this outstanding psychological thriller from Mackintosh (I Let You Go), is stunned when, during her daily commute to work as bookkeeper/office manager at a London real estate firm, she spots a photo of herself in a newspaper ad for sex chat lines. But the real fear kicks in when she combs through earlier ads and recognizes one face as that of a recent crime victim. After another woman she recognizes from the ads is murdered, Zoe connects with police constable Kelly Swift, who's chafing under a disciplinary demotion. As Kelly and the task force she worms her way onto race to crack the baffling case, an increasingly terrified Zoe starts to turn a suspicious eye on just about everyone in her life, including her solicitous live-in boyfriend and her overbearing boss. Although some shocking final twists don't quite convince, Mackintosh scripts a hair-raising ride all the scarier because its premise that our predictable routines make us easy targets is sadly so plausible. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Thrilling book
I have to say this book will stay with me for a long time. It was so clever and I never guessed the end which I usually do. I'm kinda disappointed it's come to end. I really think this should be a movie. It would keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. I loved it.
Ok
Had so much potential
Good story line that got lost in bad writing
