★★★ 3 stars
DESCRIPTION:
My first mistake was falling in love with the handsome, married doctor. My second mistake was killing him…
I never meant to hurt anyone. I’m a nurse, it’s my job to help people. But sometimes in life things happen that you don’t expect, and you’re pushed to extremes.
I can’t let anyone find out what I’ve done... or why I did it. If the secrets of my past come out then it’s not just my life at risk, it’s my family’s too – darling little Campbell, just five years old and completely innocent. I have to protect him.
I can see blue lights. Uniforms. Police. I pray they’re not here for me.
Because killing the doctor isn’t the only thing I’ve done. My third mistake was something much, much worse…
A completely addictive psychological thriller from the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife. If you love Freida McFadden, John Marrs and T.M. Logan then The Nurse’s Mistake will have you hooked until the final, jaw-dropping ending!
MY THOUGHTS:
It's no secret that I'm a huge Daniel Hurst fan, devouring every book of his in record time. And it's not often a favourite author disappoints but I'm sorry to say that this book was just a step too far in the killer nurse saga. I enjoyed the first book, and the second one was an interesting follow-up. But this one was just a little too far fetched and drawn out that I spent most of it shaking my head.
The action kicks off as Darcy boards a bus in Florida, fleeing after killing Parker at the end of the previous book after he had kept her and his ex-girlfriend locked prisoner in the basement of his home. Armed with the the notebook her sister Pippa had written for her to jog her memory at every turn and still wearing the nurse's uniform she used to gain access to the hospital Parker was in, Darcy flees Florida to return home to her family, not knowing that they have fled after things heated up for them in Chicago.
Having suffered retrograde amnesia after a car accident a couple of years ago, Darcy has no idea who to turn to who to trust or where to find her family.
Meanwhile, Pippa and co have headed to Montana to an abandoned holiday camp only to find the cabins are not completely abandoned after all. From the first moment they arrived, Pippa has found herself with the sense of being watched. Are they safe where they are? Or is someone out there watching their every move, ready to hand them over to the police and claim the $50,000 reward leading to their arrest? How will things end for the sisters and their family?
Despite it being far fetched and not one of his best, this (hopefully) final installment into the killer nurse saga was still fast paced with snappy chapters that I was still able to devour it in quickly. And unfortunately I was relieved to reach the end. I really do hope this is the last in the series as I feel it really has more than run its course.
Hurst is renowned for his fast paced snappy writing style with far fetched storylines that can be over the top but are still an entertaining read nonetheless. He continues to throw twists at his readers with his addictive writing style, though I didn't really see many twists in this one. OK maybe one. But it was still kind of expected in this case.
Again, not one of his best but that won't stop me reading more of his books. I have loads of them on my kindle waiting for me to read them but I just have so many books on my TBR list! Hahaha... Still, can't wait to see what he has in store for us next.
I would like to thank #DanielHurst, #Netgalley and #Bookouture for an ARC of #TheNursesMistake in exchange for an honest review.
