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 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 rape and 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. For now 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

was really loving this - it's tense & creepy & i thought had a very interesting premise - until the end. the reveal with the motivation behind everything was just ..... :/
While on her way home one evening Zoe spots an add in the local paper with her photo and a website - www.FindTheOne.com. Sure it must be someone who simply looks like her she blows it off as a coincidence until she sees more photos with the same website. These women she has seen before, however. They've been in the news, victims of violent crimes. Worried about her safety and that of her family, she contacts the police. Detective Kelly Swift, assigned to the pickpocket case of one woman that later turned out to be murdered, believes her and works to unmask whomever is behind these ads.
This book is an entertaining read, full of twists and turns, and is told from multiple perspectives. My main issue with the book happened after I had read it and set it aside. It takes a considerable amount of suspension of disbelief in order to accept the basic premise of this book. It's well written, though, and worth the time if you're a fan of psychological suspense novels.
