Right from the first page, “I Will Make You Pay” weaves suspense and mystery themes in a tight web, pulling you into the book. The story is primarily told by Alice, who shares the spotlight with a private detective (Matthew) and the person stalking Alice. There is plenty of time spent allowing readers to get to know these three characters, and we learn their good and bad points as well as the motivations for their actions.

Author Teresa Driscoll drops a few cleverly masked clues throughout the book, giving readers the opportunity to solve the mystery (I missed them). The book mixes the past and the present allowing the storytellers to relate the bits and pieces of their lives as the tale races to the climax. I liked the mix of suspense and thriller aspects and I tried in vain to figure out the identity of the stalker.

Few books have all the elements in place as this one does. Ms. Driscoll has crafted an excellent story, with no contrived or unbelievable scenes. Set aside some time for this one. If you’re like me, you won’t want to put it down until the last page. Five stars.

My thanks to NetGalley, Thomas and Mercer, and Amazon Publishing UK for an advance ebook of this title.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. The plot twists kept me up reading much later than I had planned, because I kept wanting to find out what would happen next. Excellent book.

Every Wednesday, the phone rings with a mysterious calling making a threat. Alice at first thinks it is just a prank or a hoax against the newspaper she works for, until the caller makes it clear that it is all about Alice. Alice has secrets, but she has moved on and left those secrets in the past. Naturally, those secrets and her life begin to unravel and come apart. Now Alice is in danger, and her elderly sick mother is not safe either. I was not expecting the twists and turns in this book and enjoyed this more than a couple of her other books.

In the beginning, the character development wasn't solid, but I can understand why and how it drove the story. I really enjoyed this book just as all of Teresa Driscoll's other works.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advance read. I wasn't drawn to the story or the characters particularly, but overall I found the book a solid mystery. I'd recommend it to those who are looking for a good read with some twists and turns.

Good developed characters and a great plot. I certainly did not predict the twists which was even better to read.

This book was a bit hard to read because of what happened to the little boy. Despite this, it was a good read that kept me interested.

A fast paced, psychological thriller that will leave you guessing right up until the final reveal.
The story follows Alice through a traumatic 'stalker' style encounter where she receives mysterious calls but only on a Wednesday. The consistency of the threats left the reader expecting more and more whilst also growing in sympathy for Alice.
I liked the different narratives, especially the 'Him' chapters which added my substance to the perpetrator. They also added to my constant need to piece the puzzle together and come up with the ending!

Teresa Driscoll has done it again!! Deep dark secrets are revealed with hidden motives. This book has so many twists and turns. Just when you think you know who the bad guy is the rug is snatched right out from under you. If you like a good clean mystery, suspense book with romance with a shocking ending this is a book for you.

First line of the book and I was hooked. This book was really good, fast paced with a great plot twist. I read 80% in one sitting! I did not want to put it down. The book is mostly from Alice’s POV, with parts coming from HIM so you can understand his background and why WEDNESDAYS are his biggest triggers. Driscoll writes in a way that doesn’t make things confusing or choppy. I also had no idea that DI Melanie Sanders and PI Matthew Hill are reoccurring characters in Driscoll’s other books. I can’t wait to go read them!

I adored this commercial, plot-driven, fast-paced story. It was truly a great example of a book which keeps you turning the pages.

I am a big fan of Teresa Driscoll. This book was able to capture my attention from the beginning so it was easy to keep reading.

I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll

Journalist Alice Henderson has secrets but she's done a good job of moving on and leaving those things behind her. She enjoys her job, has a partner that would take things even farther if she was willing, and wants to be there for her mother, who has end stage COPD. But when she gets a threatening phone call, with the caller's voice distorted, her world begins to unravel. Soon there are more threats and even her mother isn't safe. How can Alice get the police help she needs when she's unwilling to even tell them the truth about her past?

Now PI Michael Hill is on her case. He's a former detective who can still rely on his former partner to share information and access with him so that he can try to keep Alice safe until the stalker can be caught. But the stalker's behavior is escalating and he and his ex partner are afraid that Alice may end up like cases that haunt them, cases where the stalker finally killed their victim. They hope they can catch the stalker before things go way too far.

There were three potential suspects in my mind and that's made for a very scary story. But Alice made me even more worried for her because she'd do some really unwise things for a woman who has a stalker who is threatening to use cheese-wire on her. On minute she is freaking out so much she can't even answer the PI's questions and the next she's zipping off here and there, determined to not let the stalker keep her from doing what she wants to do. Priorities woman! How much will you accomplish if the stalker cheese-wires you?!

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for this ARC.

Wow! This fast-paced, heart-pounding thriller had me flipping pages until the wee hours of the morning. The main character was definitely flawed, but I like characters that are not one dimensional. This book kept me up until I could get to the thrilling conclusion.

This book was a phenomenal thriller! I was anxious to turn the pages to see what happens next!! Character development was outstanding and the descriptive words used had me pulled in from page one. I can’t wait for more by this author!

Okay, not brilliant and a little predictable for my liking but well written. Some of the difficult content in the flashbacks is skimmed over which I feel is lazy.

I absolutely enjoyed this book. The author kept me intrigued throughout the book. I’ll definitely read more of her books.

capably written & does a good job with ratcheting up the paranoia but some subplots feel extraneous.

Alice thinks a mysterious caller making a threat is nothing but a hoax. Then the next Wednesday, another call comes in. Maybe the threats are real, but where are they coming from, and who is making them?

Too many different points of view for my liking. It wasn’t much of a page turner for me. Honestly had trouble finishing it.
