14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. A unique plot with plenty of tension (4.5 stars) By K. Branfield In The Mistake I Made by Paula Daly, Roz Toovey, a destitute single mother, makes a morally questionable decision to solve her financial woes and soon lives to regret it when her situation quickly goes from bad to worse.Roz is a physiotherapist (for US readers, physical therapist) who is struggling to make ends meet after she separating from her cheating husband. In addition to his infidelity, he also ran up a staggering amount of debt on their joint credit cards and as a result, she lost both her business and the family home. The final straw comes after most of her household furnishings are repossessed and she is served with an eviction notice. Having recently met wealthy businessman Scott Elias through her sister, she reconsiders his proposition to sleep with him after he offers to pay her for her services. However, things takes a bit of a dark turn when Roz tries to end their arrangement and one of her co-workers goes missing.Roz is a surprisingly sympathetic character despite her rather unpalatable choice to sleep with a married man for financial gain. Once the full scope of her financial situation is revealed, it is easy to understand why she feels like she has no other option but to accept Scott’s offer. Her estranged husband refuses to pay child support and she is truly at wits’ end with the looming eviction. Adding to her stress is her nine year old son, George’s misbehavior at school but she is surprisingly patient with him as she tries to understand what is motivating his actions.Although Roz has qualms about what her agreement, she feels as though she she has no choice but to follow through with their arrangement. She grows increasingly uncomfortable with the situation as their lives become more entwined socially but trying to extricate herself from Scott is unexpectedly complicated by his reluctance to end their affair. Her life becomes even difficult in the wake of her co-worker’s disappearance and the subsequent police investigation. However, once Roz realizes the full implications of her fateful decision, she makes a surprising choice that could have a disastrous effect on her future.Despite a bit of a slow beginning and a somewhat predictable storyline, The Mistake I Made by Paula Daly is nonetheless a compelling novel. The plot is quite unique with plenty of tension to hold the readers’ interest as the story winds its way to an unanticipated but thoroughly satisfying conclusion. An overall outstanding mystery that fans of the genre do not want to miss.I received a complimentary copy for review.

I see a few have mentioned parallels with Indecent Proposal but, never having watched the film I went into this book with no pre-conceptions.Single mum Roz is in a bit of a mess with money. Debts left to her by her ex-husband coupled with a failed business means that she is only just keeping her head above water with her physiotherapy job, and then, one day, the bailiffs come and take her furniture and this is soon followed by her landlord threatening eviction.At the end of her tether, she is offered a proposition from the husband of her sister's friend. One that despite all misgivings (he is also one of her patients) she really can't turn down and thus begins a domino effect of further lies, secrets which soon spirals out of her control with devastating consequences.I have to admit to not really liking Roz, not because of what she did/does in the book as it is not for me to question or judge her morals, I just simply didn't warm to her at all. This didn't really impact my overall enjoyment of the book as I have learned that it is not important to like characters, as long as I can connect/emote in some way with them, I did however really like Henry. I think it is to do with me and him having the same attitude regarding work/money/life and to heck with what anyone else thinks of us (in most cases they are just jealous!).The descriptions of the Lake District were also interesting to read. I am not familiar with that area at all but was able to picture it quite clearly from the prose but there was not too much to distract me from the story.The story built up nicely throughout the book. There were little hints as to where/what was happening but there were also plenty of twists and, for me anyway, a big "OMG he really didn't just do that" moment that had my jaw literally on the floor.It is not one of those books that I can put my finger on and say why I loved it so much, what was so special. I think, in this case, it was the overall package that made it such a good read for me rather than any particular stand-out things.This is the first book by this author that I have read, but I will definitely be checking out her other books.I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Collins A special thank you to Grove Atlantic and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.S C A N D A L O U S!Paula Daly delivers an enthralling domestic psychological suspense page-turner, THE MISTAKE I MADE -- an gripping 5 stars+, making it to the my Top Books of 2015!Was utterly delighted when I scored an early reading copy- "Christmas Comes Early,” with a stunning front cover, drawing you into the temptation. Anytime I see the name, “Paula Daly” my eyes light up, anxiously awaiting her next addictive suspense masterpiece. One of my favorite authors, she delivers creativity, top shelf quality, wit, and intensity.In her third electrifying domestic thriller, Daly takes us into the home of single mother, Roz Toovey. Roz is a hard-working single mom, struggling to keep her professional and home life balanced. She has all sorts of financial issues; a failing business, a mountain of debt, and a no-good cheating ex-husband, Winston— of little support, or assistance with their nine-year-old son, George.Winston is like a little kid himself, a grown man with no responsibility, living with his mother, bouncing from one woman to another. Poor George loves his mom and just wants to fit in at school. He knows they need money, and your heart goes out to him, while sympathizing with the mother.Roz, formerly a self-employed physiotherapist in England’s Lake District. When there was no more money left, she found herself at a chain on clinics, working fifty hours a week, cooped up in an airless cubicle with a production line of patients. Of course, the fruits of her labors go straight into someone else’s pocket and at the mercy of a practice manager, named Wayne. She is always rushing every day to get to the ferry, balancing her clients, with continuous calls from the school--parenting, financial, and work stress has reached its limits.Roz is being evicted, has lost her furniture, her pride, her business, and has borrowed all the money she can from her sister. She is DESPERATE. George has issues at school, and they need money in order for food and survival. She has no clue what she will do.When she attends her sister’s birthday party, her sister’s best friend and husband is in attendance. Scott Elias is wealthy, powerful, and married. However, the conversation turns to a subject which leads Scott to believe, she is liberal and open-minded. Could Roz be open to being his mistress? He can pay for her services. Appears to be simple. What could go wrong?Scott shows up at her office the next day and makes a proposition. He wants one night with her. He will pay her. She can get out of debt. No strings. There is NO way she can even consider this. Or can she? Why would someone be interested in her? She does not even date?Could this be a simple business transaction? Clean and clear-cut? Nothing is as simple as it seems. She does not see herself as sexy or a package any man would want. However, when George gets caught stealing at school, she knows she has to do something.What comes next is a series of complex events which spirals out of control. How in the heck can this be happening? What has she gotten herself into? How does Wayne (creep) fit into the equation?Blackmail, murder, conspiracy, illegal activities, fraud, an investigation, a stalker? A devil in disguise? What if her sister finds out about her new little side job? Little does she know, she may put her own son and herself in harm’s way?Loved, loved this psycho-suspense! Would love to see this one played out, on the big screen--can only imagine the cast of characters. As a single mom, sympathize with Roz, as most of us have been there, trying to raise our children, and circumstances making it difficult. Desperate times call for desperate measures. At what cost?The twists and turns are heart-pounding with head spinning action. Fans will love the revisit with DC Joanne Aspinall (from previous books). She was the perfect tenacious advocate for Roz, in order to assist her, out of this mess.What really adds to the intensity, is the insurance guy, Henry with his background and connections--brilliant; keeping you on the edge-of-your seat to see how his character will play into the complicated saga. Loved the ending, which will leave you smiling.Once again, Daly exceeds all expectations with an “Indecent Proposal-like” addictive domestic drama. If you have not read Daly’s previous books, highly recommend.Keep Your Friends CloseJust What Kind of Mother Are You
