The Perfect Nurse: Book 1
Publication Date: July 1, 2024
‘My name is Darcy, I’m your nurse and I’m here to help you.’ I repeat the words I’ve said so many times. Except this time, I don’t mean it…
If you saw me walking down the street, you’d think I was pretty ordinary – I wear the typical crisp, white nursing uniform, my hands are scrubbed clean and you’d have no reason to believe I was anything other than a good citizen. A good nurse.
But looks can be deceiving. You shouldn’t trust me – because I don’t even know if I can trust myself.
Now I stare at the reflection in the mirror – dark smudges under my eyes and blood on my hands – listening for the sound of police sirens.
Because the truth is I had to do something terrible. I broke all the rules a nurse should follow. I wanted someone gone so badly. And now they’re dead because of me.
I’m looking over my shoulder everywhere I go because I’m sure someone knows my secret. Then when my home is broken into I know one simple truth: this isn’t over yet…
It’s only the beginning.
The police are the least of my worries now. But to save myself, am I going to have to kill again?
Darcy cares for people with memory loss, but her latest assignment causes her to question everything.
Author Daniel Hurst crafts a psychological thriller with The Perfect Nurse. Going in to the story, readers grapple with Darcy’s character as they try to discover why she has so much trouble sleeping and what is prompting her suspicions regarding the new patient.
What ensues is an unexpected plot twist that takes the storyline into uncharted territory. Once all the pieces are revealed, puzzling characteristics start to make more sense. The intensity ramps up as Darcy deals with an intruder.
Secondary characters play a crucial role in setting the framework for the twist, particularly Darcy’s coworker, Pippa. As the tension escalates, the author’s skillful approach leads to a much more in-depth plot.
The Perfect Nurse takes readers on an unexpected roller coaster ride with plenty of twists and turns.
