Every Wednesday, like clockwork, the terror returns.
It seems like an ordinary Wednesday, until the phone rings. A mysterious caller with a chilling threat. Journalist Alice Henderson hangs up, ready to dismiss it as a hoax against the newspaper. But the next Wednesday, the stalker makes another move—and it becomes clear that this is all about Alice.
Someone wants her to suffer, but for what? … suffer, but for what? Her articles have made her a popular local champion—could it be her past rather than her work that’s put her life in danger? Alice is determined not to give in to fear, but with the police investigation at a dead end, her boyfriend insists on hiring private investigator Matthew Hill.
With every passing Wednesday the warnings escalate, until it’s not only Alice but also her family in the stalker’s sights. As her tormentor closes in, can Alice uncover what she’s being punished for before the terrifying threats become an unthinkable reality?

I gave this five stars, mainly because there are parts of this story I enjoyed, and then there are the parts that left me saying “really? How dumb can one person be”. Not only that but the main character’s name was used over three hundred times (actually 329 times, according to my search). I tried to very hard to like Alice, but found her lacking. Read this and judge for yourself.
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!
