Darcy is having a hard time with life, and we're not really sure why. She relies on sleeping pills that usually leave her groggy and hung over the following morning. Her co-worker Pippin is energetic and upbeat, always arriving at Darcy's house to make her coffee and ensure that her scrubs are on and that she's ready to report to work.

The women have a new assignment--they will be providing home health services for Scarlett, an older woman who was injured in a fall at her home and left with brain damage. Her husband Adrian is doing a good job caring for her, but like any full-time caregiver, he needs a break.

Darcy feels something is off about this couple. Relying solely on intuition, she begins to wonder if Scarlett really had an accident. She doesn't like the way she can't speak to her without Adrian showing up, and she definitely doesn't like the fear she seems to show when her husband is around. Then something strange happens...Adrian asks her if she would be interested in overnight shifts for extra pay. Her curiosity wins, and she feels that she can get to the bottom of what's going on in that house if she's in it full-time. When Scarlett tells her to lock her door at night, that's when things really took off.

You absolutely must suspend disbelief with all of the events that happen next. I see that this will be the first book in the series, so I'm anxious to see how some events will play out later that were only hinted at in this installment. Enjoyable and easy to binge. 3.5 stars rounded up. Thank you to Bookouture for the early copy. This title will publish July 1, 2024.

As soon as I am approved for a Daniel Hurst book I cant wait to start reading. Twists galore in this latest book from one of my favourite authors. I wanted to finish it, but didnt want it to end. I'm guessing from the ending that there will be a sequel and I cant wait !! Brilliant story and brilliant writing. .Highly recommended to anyone who wants a book that they can't put down
Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in return for an honest review (I loved it !!)

I immediately seek out Daniel’s books as soon as he releases them. I’m so happy NetGalley provided this ARC. I loved this book, and it appears this one will be part of a series! At first, I had no clue what was happening but I just enjoyed the reading journey. Once the initial shocking twist was revealed, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of the book would entail. But it just kept getting better! This is one of those books where you just enjoy reading without wanting it to end. I can’t wait for the next in the series! Thanks to NetGalley for providing this book!

When nurses Darcy and Pippa start to work for Adrian and Scarlett it seems that something is not quite right. Is Scarlett really as unwell as she seems and can Adrian be trusted? Pippa has her doubts but the truth, when revealed, is even more bizarre than was suspected. I was kept engaged with a well-paced story, a build-up of suspense and unexpected twists. Overall, an entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Having enjoyed The Doctor’s Wife audiobook, I was excited to pick up The Perfect Nurse. I expected a fast paced thriller with some dark humor thrown in and well, this was not that.

To say you’ll need to suspend disbelief doesn’t accurately reflect how out there this plot goes. You will be surprised by the twists because they are pulled out of thin air.

It was a fast read so there is a plus for you.

This was such a good book! Fast paced with twists and turns around every corner. Nothing is as it seems. Cant wait to read the next in this series!

The Perfect Nurse by Daniel Hurst is another quick, propulsive page-turner from one of my favourite and never to be missed authors, though I did find this one a little bizarre. While definitely a solid read, this one requires of the reader a healthy suspension of disbelief.

Darcy is a nurse who, for some reason, needs to rely on her co-worker Pippa to pick her up and get her to work every morning. The two are assigned to provide home care for Scarlett, a woman who is suffering cognitive issues after sustaining a fall in her kitchen. Darcy cannot get a read on Scarlett's husband, but something seems to be off. Is he responsible for his wife's accident? And why is he so reluctant to leave Scarlett alone with her nurses?

This novel bears all of Hurst's trademark twists and compulsive readability, though I had a difficult time accepting where it ultimately led.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

I loved this one! It’s a captivating thriller that kept me scratching my head over and over.

Darcy and Pippa are home care nurses charged with the care of Scarlett who has a traumatic brain injury following a fall. Darcy can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to the story and begins to doubt that Scarlett is truly ill. At the same time, Darcy has herself a stalker and even had her home broken into. Her life is in shambles as she struggles with insomnia and panic attacks, but feels strongly that she must protect her patient from whatever is going on.

This is book one of two and I await with bated breath the next installment of this fantastic story. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced reader copy of this 5-star book.

I really hope Daniel hurst takes off like Freida McFadden has as they both write excellent popcorn thrillers that are easy to read and have you turning pages into the night. The twists and turns are wild (and sometimes far fetched) and I find myself wondering how he comes up with the ending. Please put your books and audiobooks on libby so the world can find you!!!

This book is full of so many twists and turns that I can barely say anything outside of the synopsis without spoiling the story! Darcy and Pippin are two nurses who were assigned to some very wealthy people, Adrian and his wife, Scarlett. Scarlett had an accident that left her with brain damage, and her husband has realized he can’t take care of her on his own any more.

Their first day at the house, Darcy feels something is off about this couple. She can’t put her finger on it, but these people make her uncomfortable, and so does the house. When Adrian asks her to stay over nights for extra pay, her alarm bells really start to go off, and that’s when we get to the heart of the story with all the twists.

Reality definitely needs to be suspended with this book; I didn’t see any of the twists coming, because they were so out there that they weren’t even in the realm of possibility for me. Also, this is set in Chicago with American characters, but I could tell the author is British by some of the words and phrases used. Maybe the UK and US versions are the same, but it was odd with characters from Chicago saying certain things. Overall though, this was a fast-paced read that was entertaining and pretty original. It looks like there will be more to Darcy’s story coming in the future, and I will be there for the second book! 3.5 stars.

(Thank you to Bookouture, Daniel Hurst and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review. This book is slated to be released on July 1, 2024.)

I am always very pleased when it(s time to read another book by this author. Each and every time he entertains me with a story that I can immerse myself completely in and forget everything that is going on around me. He makes me go crazy, in the best possible way, trying to figure out the outcome to hit me with a twist that totally turns the world upside down. I could never have imagined this and that is what I love about his books.

Some memories fade away until they are gone altogether and that's a pity. Sometimes not remembering is a blessing, because some things are better kept hidden in the dark. 

The perfect nurse does not exist, because we all make mistakes, but Darcy was the perfect one for Adrian and Scarlet. They would not have wanted anyone else.

I loved it. 5 stars

Daniel’s books are always so good! This book kept me on my toes the entire time! Darcy is a great nurse, she loves helping people and it’s something she always wanted to do. But did she go too far? Did she help the wrong person do a bad thing? I really had an idea in my head of how the story was going to go but it went a completely different direction. The twists were just so good. This book was really good! Best thriller I’ve read in a while. I didn’t want to put it down. If you haven’t read Daniel’s books yet, you should. I would definitely recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture and Daniel for the ARC!

I love Daniel’s novels and this one was another fantastic read from the start! He writes such interesting and flawed characters, sometimes I feel sorry for them! Nurses are supposed to care when we are at our most vulnerable, not sure I’d want to be cared for by this one! A great, twisty read!

Wow! I loved this book. The first 30% was good but then it became impossible to put down and had me reading through the night. So many times I thought I knew where the story was heading but there were so many twists that left me shocked. After having read so many psychological thrillers I’m finding it harder to find new and unique twists but Daniel Hurst managed to accomplish that in this amazing book. The only negative I have was that I wanted an epilogue at the end as I felt it ended too soon but after learning this is the first book in The Perfect Nurse series I think it was fitting to leave the story at that point. I’m looking forward to not only reading the next book in the series but also reading more books by Daniel Hurst.

Darcy has always wanted to be a nurse, and loves her profession and helping people. But then she had to do something terrible. She broke all the rules a nurse should follow. She wanted someone gone so badly. And now they’re dead because of her. She’s afraid someone knows her secret. Daniel Hurst is a master at thrillers and he always ends up shocking me at least a couple of times each book!!! Five stars!!!B thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Daniel Hurst gets better and better. I thought it was the end and brilliant but no...i was only just over half way through and there was so much more to come...genius

Sorry this just didn't do it for me. The main character was all over the place and i found the story confusing.
Not one of Daniel Hurst's best as far as i am concerned.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

This was a really enjoyable thriller. This author has done it again with another fantastic fast paced thriller. He really knows how to catch your attention and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. There was so many twists and turns which kept me glued to my kindle. Overall it was an excellent thriller with a very addictive storyline I can’t wait to recommend it to everyone. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy of this great book.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 1st July. Wow, another suspenseful, plot twisting book by Daniel Hurst! I love all his books and his style of writing!

Whilst reading the book I thought I figured out what was going to happen I was so wrong and wow what an ending! I really hope this is part of series it would be great!

I’d highly recommend this book if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers with many twists and turns that keeps you glued to your kindle and/ or physical book.

He does it again here’s me thinking maybe this one won’t be as good and he gives me another cracker of a story that has kept me up for hours to finish it before I go to sleep. The twist in this one I was not anywhere near guessing and I loved it. This is great story writing at its best and I can’t really say much about it without spoiling the story but just pick up a copy and read this. Trust me on this one!
