She has everything I’ve ever wanted. First, I’ll take her name. Then, I’ll steal her life…
I turn my head and stare at the woman lying in the hospital bed next to mine. She has long brown hair, high cheekbones and dark eyes. She looks so much like me, we could easily be mistaken for one another. And that’s how we ended up here. I planned it.
Freya has the kind of life that most people would kill for – more money than she knows what to do with and the freedom to spend her days as she chooses. But I don’t think she deserves any of it.
I’ve spent months watching Freya as I clean her huge house and obey her every demand. She thought I was just her cleaner, but she underestimated me. I know her darkest secret – and I’m going to use it to get everything I want.
So while she was unconscious, I stole her name. She has no idea what I’m capable of. Or what I’m going to do next…
From the number one bestselling author Daniel Hurst, The Other Patient is an utterly addictive, nail-biting read packed full of twists that will make you gasp out loud and leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, T M Logan and Lisa Jewell.
A house cleaner and her reclusive boss get caught up in a jaw-dropping adventure featuring swapped identities, a vengeful ex, and even murder.
Author Daniel Hurst uses this as a foundation for The Other Patient. While it starts a bit slowly, the pace picks up once helpful background details are provided.
A car wreck lands both Freya and Iris in the hospital, but the story begins with Iris claiming Freya’s identity and seemingly heading out to reap the riches Freya has gathered.
The author delivers one twist after another to propel the storyline forward until the shocking conclusion. This is one time when early guesses about the end will not work.
The Other Patient highlights how a dark secret can be leveraged to take over someone else’s life.
His most popular titles include The Doctor’s Wife, which reached number one in the UK Kindle store in February 2023, The Couple’s Revenge, The Couple in the Cabin and The Perfect Nurse.
Daniel prides himself on writing fast-paced, twist-filled stories with jaw-dropping endings and he loves engaging with his readers.
