I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll is a psychological suspense which is told in two views, one from the stalker and one from the victim. Of course, both characters have been a victim in the past. Alice Henderson is a journalist who is working on a campaign which affects the tenets of Maple Field Housing. The flats are dilapidated and unsafe for habitation. They. need to be torn down and the tenets moved to newer and better home units. Alice has helped with the community publicity and has not encountered any opposition to the tenets being moved. On a Wednesday, Alice received a threatening call at her office. Could this be a prank or is it serious? The next Wednesday another threat arrives at the office which can not be mistaken for anything other than malicious intent. Alice's fiance, Tom, calls in a PI to help with the police investigation into Alice's stalker.
I won't post spoilers but the mystery is well written and the young victim who is also narrating his story is heartbreaking. I could not help but shed a few tears as Alice describes her love for her mother and the relationship between her mother and with her sister Leanne. A few months ago I held the soft hand of my mother as she struggled to breathe as her time drew near. The author had to know the feelings of an adult child trying to say goodbye to write it so perfectly.
