Journalist Alice Henderson seems to have a ordinary life until a call comes through at work on a Wednesday threatening to use a cheese wire on her. Clearly shocked about the call she confides in her colleague Jake.
Hopefully just a one off she carries on working but the following Wednesday another threat comes through.
Why is this person stalking Alice and could it have something to do with the secret she has been hiding?

A wonderful thriller that opens with Alice receiving a threatening phone call from which the threats continue to escalate, once a week, on Wednesdays.

The story is told in the first person from the point of view of Alice and the back story of the stalker is revealed in third person.

There are a series of twists which cast suspicion on the characters in Alice's life, and on Alice's own past, and a wonderful twist when the stalker's identity is revealed.

Recommended reading.

I’d like to thank Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘I Will Make You Pay’ by Teresa Driscoll in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Alice, a journalist with the South Devon Informer, is at work when she receives a phone call from a man threatening to use a cheese wire on her. Alice puts it down as a hoax but on every following Wednesday she has threats made in various forms, the violence escalating from stalking her to terrorising and actual bodily harm. She’s so scared her boyfriend Tom insists on employing private detective Matthew Hill to guard her every Wednesday but will he be able to discover the identity of the stalker before Alice’s life and that of her mother are put at risk?

‘I Will Make You Pay’ is a brilliantly written fast-paced thriller which will shock and amaze in equal measure. The story moves from Alice at the present time to the stalker’s boyhood and although it’s about the effect stalking has on the victim, the love of a child for their parent is central to the plot. The characters are believable, the story full of drama and suspense, and the aside of Ian and his ‘little people’ brings down the tension momentarily before we’re hit again. There are lots of twists and turns, red herrings thrown in to confuse, but although I tried to deduce who was behind the threats I failed miserably. The final chapters are shocking and unexpected, the ending perfect, and after reading all of Teresa Driscoll’s novels this has to be the best one yet. Highly recommended and not to be missed!

This book kept me gripped all the way through. I did guess who the nasty one was but it didn't matter - the writing was just superb.

I Will Make You Pay is the latest thriller from Teresa Driscoll. This story slowly pulls you in and you find yourself invested in the main character's well being. Ms Driscoll gives us this story with some back and forth in time which she neatly weaves together. Some edge of your seat moments. I was given an early copy to review.

Another great domestic mystery by Teresa Driscoll. This is a book filled with great believable characters, lots of unexpected twists, and a great story that held my interest throughout. It involves a young female reporter, and all the people in her life. Great book. I would highly recommend this book to my friends and family. Thank you for my advance copy.

Alice is a reporter, she has a boyfriend called Tom and loves her job.
Until one Wednesday she received a threatening phone call, there was nothing else for a week, until the following Wednesday she received a bouquet of dead flowers and a cheese grater. Alice got really scared, and her boyfriend hired a detective to find out who was sending her threatening messages, Alices mother is in a nursing home and there was a threatening video sent to her about the stalker going to see her.mother.
Alice had no idea why someone was doing this to her. Until she thought it could be an old boyfriend who she had helped sending to prison when it was found he was having sex with under age girls.
This was quite a scary story as you can imagine this happening.
Thanks net galley for granting my wish to allow me to read this book,it was well written and a good thriller.

Fast paced, lots of action and a plot full of twists. COMPLETE shocker of an ending. I didn't guess who the stalker was at all. Would definately recommend.

Wow ! Fast paced, thrilling story line - right from the start I felt creeped out by the guy on the phone and I’d only just started!!

Lots going on in Alice’s life that leads to this particular Wednesday- read this book, you will enjoy it

I will make you pay by Theresa Driscoll is the second book from the author that I have read. It is a fast-paced intense thriller with a lot of red herrings. I did enjoy this as the author kept you guessing who was stalking Alice. But, two thirds in I did guess who it and I did was expecting a bit more from the ending. But, still worth the read.

A suspenseful mystery that draws you in. Like others, I did figure out who the stalker was, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. I wanted to know why.

I liked this book but then I'm a sucker for Brit authors. The story begins with a journalist for a local paper receiving a creepy phone call which evolves into full blown stalking. The book kept me engaged and interested and the characters for the most part were well developed. The twist ending I'm sorry to say I figured out about midway through. 3.5/5.0 stars rounded up.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for me to review.

Terror is an insidious thing. The author explores this theme with her main character, Alice, who is systematically terrorized by an unknown someone whose threats escalate. There are many red herrings along the way but it was a surprise to find out 'whodunit". Very good psychological thriller!

Excellent read.
Fast paced, lots of action and a plot that demanded my attention. Excellent twists, shocker of an ending. Highly recommend.

This was a very interesting psychological thriller set in England. Alice, the protagonist, is a reporter in a small venue covering the demolition of public housing that is going to be replaced with newer and better housing. Tom, her boyfriend, is an attorney. They do not live together because their relationship is too new for that. She becomes the victim of a stalker. He threatens her; later a motorcyclist comes up to her and sprays an unknown liquid into her face. She and Tom hire a former police officer who is now a PI as an aid in what is happening to her. The plot is multifaceted and each chapter covers another area of it. It is a very well written novel and will make the reader wonder just who is stalking Alice, and why. Thanks to Net Galley and Thomas and Mercer for an ARC for an honest review.

A journalist who has a secret in her past receives threats from a stalker. Her boyfriend thinks the police are not doing enough, and hires a private detective to help. The story alternates between the past (him) and the present, Alice, our protagonist.
There were some good twists in the plot, and a couple of times I thought I had figured stuff out only to find out I was wrong. Alice’s terror was conveyed very well, especially when her mouth was taped and she was afraid she’d suffocate. Alice’s love for her mother also came through well.
A quick and enjoyable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
Alice, a nournalist, has a stalker. It starts with a nasty phone call, but gets more menacing with each threat. Her fiancee, Tom, hires a private detective who will keep an eye on Alice every Wednesday, because, oddly enough, that's the day each threat occurs. But even so, a motorcyclist manages to throw a liquid in her face. Her life is in shambles, she stops working, goes into hiding and fears for the life of her ailing mother who also seems to be targeted.
We go back and forth in time: Alice in the past as well as the story of a young boy who lives with his gran, who he adores.
We also get Matthew's, the detective, p.o.v. He is an extremely likeable character with a story arc that features 'little people' which I thought very sweet.
I found this quite a good, suspenseful read, better than most 'stalker' books because of the way it was written; it was hard to put down with an exciting ending. Definitely recommended.

This was another great read from the author. Not only good mystery and suspense but a number of good twists and turns until getting to the surprise although rather abrupt ending. This is a book that I would recommend to others.

I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll pulls you in from the first page and doesn't let you go until the end. A journalist receives a threatening phone call at work with a very specific threat. She brushes the threat off until the next threat arrives, Told by the journalist, Alice, and Him, the stalker you see two stories unfolding, past and present. This book was a fast paced read that had me guessing, wrongly, who the stalker might be until the end,
I had not read any of Teresa Driscoll's nooks until now but, I will be picking up copies of her earlier books to read.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for a fair review.

I’m not sure about this book. I had a hard time following it and got to 35% and gave up. I was not connecting with the characters or the story line for that matter. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this complimentary book. All opinions expressed are my own.
