This tells the story of Alice Henderson, a journalist for a small-town newspaper. One Wednesday, while at work, she receives a phone call from someone using a voice scrambler, with a disturbing message. At first, she doesn't think anything of it and thinks it might be about a story she's working on. Then, she gets another chilling message the following Wednesday. and hires a private investigator when the police investigation stalls. She is still not sure if this is personal or an attack against the newspaper until a threat is posed to her mother. She desperately wants to put an to this stalking but doesn't know who would want to stalk her. She can't figure out why it happens on Wednesdays. Does it have something to do with her own secrets she's hiding from her past or something in her present life?

I thought the ending was a bit rushed and things were tied up nicely but it didn't need to be so rushed. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this interesting suspense/thriller. Alice, a newspaper reporter, soon dreads Wednesdays after realizing someone is out to get her, or at least threaten her on a weekly basis. This well-written novel gives you just enough possible male suspects to keep you guessing right up until the last few chapters, along with giving the reader several chapters from the suspect's early years and what makes him tick (and why he hates Wednesdays.)
Enjoyable read!

I've read two other books by this author and they were both better than this. This one was not that suspenseful or interesting. Unfortunately, I kept reading thinking that it would get more interesting and there were times that I thought it was going to but no. I was just happy when it was done. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't that good either. ( )

A classic psychological thriller! Journalist Alice Henderson receives a chilling, threatening phone call one Wednesday, which she initially tries to dismiss as a prank. But as each Wednesday brings another disturbing call or event, she begins to realize that her life may be in danger and that she is being stalked by someone very dangerous.

Told from a variety of viewpoints and alternating between past and present, this novel provides the reader with an engrossing, easily readable story as Alice, DI Melanie Sanders and PI Matthew Hill try to unravel the mystery behind who is tormenting and threatening Alice and why. It has plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader interested and guessing.

I enjoyed this novel very much, as I have enjoyed Driscoll’s previous novel “I am Waiting for You.” (And, even though DI Sanders and PI Hill appear in other of Driscoll’s works, each of them can really be read as a stand-alone because the focus in each is on the victim.) I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced psychological thriller, and I look forward to reading more of Driscoll’s works.

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy to review. ( )

This is the second Theresa Driscoll novel I have read, and so far they have not disappointed. This is a stand alone novel, but I did recognize that Matthew, the former detective turned private investigator makes a return appearance. This time reprising his role as a private detective who has been hired to provide protection/surveillance for the unlucky Alice Henderson. Alice Henderson, formerly Jennifer Henderson, is a investigative journalist. After burying an embarrassing past in which her former fiancé was caught cheating on her with multiple underage girls, Jennifer changes her name to Alice, relocates, changes her appearance and gets a new job. Quite unexpectedly, she finds herself the target of not so veiled threats when an unknown somebody calls her job and threatens to cut her up with a cheese slicer. From there, her life promptly spins out of control as this mystery stalker sets about terrorizing her and dismantling her life. As the police look for answers, the biggest question is, could her former fiancé be looking to exact revenge on her, and if so where is he now? The hunt is on to trap the stalker before his behavior crosses the line from creepy to deadly. The story is very exciting, and with a slew of possible suspects who all seem to have motives, we are left to guess to the end. Definitely will not disappoint. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy. ( )
