The Nurse’s Mistake" by Daniel Hurst is an absolute page-turner! I devoured this gripping suspense novel in just 3 days and could hardly put it down. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. As a new author I’ve discovered, Daniel Hurst has truly impressed me, and I’m thrilled to have come across his work. I can’t wait to explore more of his novels. I recommend for anyone who loves a well-crafted psychological thriller!

I absolutely love Daniel Hurst's books/writing style. I thought this was the best of the 3 Perfect nurse series. It was fast-paced, twisty and made me want to get in the book to help her !! My heart wanted a different ending even if I understand why the author chose to end it this way. Impatient to read more of Daniel Hurst.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Daniel Hurst does it again!! This third and final installment in The Perfect Nurse series is so good! This can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the first 2 books in the series, because they are all great reads.

This book picks up where book 2 leaves off, and Darcy and her family are all hiding from the law. There is so much tension and suspense throughout the whole story. I was engrossed in the plot, and my heart was racing through the entire book. This story was a roller coaster ride, and I was so anxious to know if Darcy and her family would get caught. How far would you go to protect your family? Could you be as loyal as the characters in this book?

In true Hurst fashion, we have short and addictive chapters that all end on mini cliffhangers, so you just have to keep reading. You will not be disappointed by this twisty popcorn thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend the whole series. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was immediately hooked in the story. Even though this book was the 3rd book in the series, and I haven't read the first two books, I could easily follow the plot. However I am going to read the first 2 books now. I loved the thriller feel, and the cliff-hangers in the chapters. Daniel Hurst has a particular way how he ended this book! Definitely recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am a big fan of Daniel Hurst; I usually enjoy and devour his books in one setting. However, I found this one over-written and far-fetched. Not for me this time.

Third book in The Perfect Nurse series, and it was great! Kept me on the edge of my seat. The sisters, Pippa and Darcy, are back at it again. This time they are separated while on the run. Darcy is alone and travels back to her family’s old home in Chicago, but Pippa is out hiding in the woods with her husband, child, and her parents, with no way for Darcy to find them. This was a fast-paced book, more murders, the past is resurfaced, Darcy is regaining some of her memories she lost from amnesia, and lots of family bonding. What will they do to protect their family?

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookoture, and Daniel Hurst for the ARC. After reading the first two, I was excited to see how the story developed. The first two were good, this one was great. The continued storyline was very well done, the characters were even more developed. The chapters were short which is much appreciated. I read this one quickly as there was many twists to keep it interesting. I’ve read many books from this author and this one definitely didn’t disappoint!

I absolutely love Daniel Hurst as an author, his books never disappoint! This is the third installment to the series and I believe the last book. I love that it’s told in a duel POV between Darcy and Pippa. I highly recommend this book and series!

A compulsive fast paced psychological thriller! Honestly couldn’t put it down! From the very first page, you’re addicted, a page turner! Author Daniel Hurst does it again! After reading “The Perfect Nurse” I knew I couldn’t wait to read more! This is his third in this series with Darcy and Pippa but you don’t necessarily need to read one before the other but makes the story all the more fitting.

I literally could not put this book down at all!

"The Nurse's Mistake" by Daniel Hurst is a fast-paced 4-star read! Darcy and Pippa return in the third installment of The Perfect Nurse series, and the story picks up right where the second book left off. Darcy, the infamous killer nurse, is on the run, determined to uncover secrets from her past. Meanwhile, Pippa has fled with her family, hoping they can finally find safety.

As with the previous books, you can expect lies, deceit, and maybe even another murder—all in the name of protecting loved ones. Fans of the first two installments will find this one just as thrilling. If you're a fan of Daniel Hurst or enjoy quick-moving stories that aren’t too heavy, this book is for you! I can’t wait to see what Daniel Hurst has in store for readers next!"

Thanks to Bookouture, Daniel Hurst, and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

This is his third in this series with Darcy and Pippa but you don’t necessarily need to read one before the other but makes the story all the more fitting.

A car accident leaving Darcy with memory loss and questionable decisions in her nursing career take this novel over the top in suspense. She never meant to hurt anyone but sometimes extreme situations lead you to make horrible choices, murder being one of them. A family who all work in the medical field stand beside Darcy in more ways than one and risk their own lives. On the run again, a nurse, her family dodging the media and the police trying to avoid the inevitable! Her sister, Pippa, also a nurse has always put her sister first and those decisions have come with consequences now that she’s married and has a child. How far will a family go to protect their loved one?

If you love a psychological thriller, I highly recommend this unputdownable novel!

This is the 3rd book in the Nurse's Series....so of course I had to read all three. Daniel Hurst did an impeccable job of remaining consistent with his core characters and establishing new faces in the 3rd book. To Darcy and Pippa family is everything and they will do anything to protect their family. While the other two books touched on the close family relationship shared between Darcy and Pippa, the 3rd book in this series delves into the closeness their family has shared and the struggles of others to understand, even if Darcy can't remember it.! The series was great and I would highly recommend

Yet again. Daniel Hurst brings us to a conclusion with this great series. Another brilliant book that I couldn’t put down. I didn’t want it to end but loved the final twist.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Having read the first 2 books, was very grateful to be able read this version, which for me rounded the tale off. Having found the second story slightly far fetched, I really enjoyed this one. Told from the view points of the main 2 characters, it provided deeper insight into the actions and decisions that these 2 women had made and highlighted to what lengths individuals would go to protect their loved ones. Twists along the way and an ending I didn't predict, I would highly recommend giving this book ago. Best read as a series rather than a standalone book.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC! This was my first book by Daniel Hurst and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed this book and the characters. I like it when a book has different point of views. I didn't know this book was a part of a series so I will need to go back and read the others. Darcy and her whole family are wanted for several murders, the whole family is in the medical field. Darcy is on the run and is also trying to remember past events by revisiting her previous college. She has some memory lost due to an accident. Her mother, father and sister are on the run and stumble into these abandoned cabins. When they arrive Pippa tells her parents they are not alone but no one believes her. The next day a man has been spotted and he is not who he says he is.

Daniel Hurst returns with his popular Nurse Series, which follows The Nurse's Lie #2 and The Perfect Nurse #1 with #3, THE NURSE'S MISTAKE.

In the third installment, the story takes an intense, wild, twisty, entertaining ride with the two sisters, both nurses, on the run. Their profession and family ties add intrigue and complexity to the narrative, unexpectedly influencing their actions and decisions.

Will one moment destroy her life forever?

About...

Picking up from the last two books in Chicago with two sisters (nurses) with nowhere to run. Will this be the end?

The author takes us back two weeks, and Darcy is on a bus, looking over her shoulders, afraid the cops are after her. Is she a killer nurse? Was it self-defense?

Darcy's secrets are putting her life and her family at risk. She must protect them, but she is now on the run and the cops are after the Nurse serial killer.

Pippa, her husband, Kark, and four-year-old son, Campbell, and their parents are headed to cabins in a park in Minnesota, a five-hour drive from Chicago, where they left their lives behind. They are also on the run.

Darcy is using her notebook to try to trigger her memory. She ignored the warnings in Florida and is now on her way to Chicago.

Told from the point of view of Darcy and Pippa, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering how this saga will turn out. With a reward offered by the Chicago PD for her capture, the stakes are high. Darcy must find her family before it's too late.

My thoughts...

THE NURSE'S MISTAKE is another fast-paced, twisty domestic thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It showcases the intense fear and anxieties of two sisters and a family on the run separately. The story delves into the consequences of past actions and mistakes and the lengths one goes to protect those one loves.

Daniel Hurst keeps the suspense at a high level, exploring the emotions, accountability, struggles, moral dilemmas, guilt, and regret, making the reader deeply engaged in the characters' decisions.

From co-conspirators to victims of circumstances and a family dragged along for the ride by their criminal member, this story vividly shows how good people sometimes do bad things to protect themselves and their families, a theme that will deeply resonate with readers.

Recs...

THE NURSE'S MISTAKE is for fans of the author and readers who enjoy entertaining popcorn thrillers. Fans who enjoy books by K.L. Slater and Freida McFadden will be drawn to the series.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced review copy for an honest opinion.

From what I gathered, I believe this will be the last book of Daniel Hurst’s Nurse series. I loved the first and second books of this series, but this one just didn’t capture me as the others did. Some of what transpired was a bit out there and far fetched. I will never stop reading Hurst’s books, I just don’t think this was his greatest work.

That’s to Netgally and Bookoture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Nurses Mistake by Daniel Hurst is the Third in the Perfect Nurse series and a powerful retrospective to what is a tightly woven series. The storyline is fast paced, dark and dives deeply into the psyche of the main characters. A great introduction to the series
