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.

Hoping that she will find her sister soon.

This is another thrilling read from the author that had me engaged throughout and I enjoyed the conclusion of it at the end. 4 stars

I have not read the other books in this series so my review is based on this book as a stand alone. I liked the author’s style of writing but the book did not “grab” me. The storyline was good but the ending was rather disappointing.

This was a good book, fast and easy to read. It’s the third in the series, I haven’t read the first two, but that wasn’t a problem. I didn’t feel like I was missing much backstory. I’ll definitely go back and read the series from the beginning now, however. One thing that bothered me was that the book was set in Chicago, but read like it was set in the UK. The way the characters spoke, their word choice, and the spelling of many words was definitely not American. There was nothing specific at all to Chicago so I just replaced Chicago with London in my head and it made more sense to me. I’m a nurse and the characters’ identity as nurses seemed a little over the top. The medical references were really vague, like the author hadn’t done any research. Their father was a doctor, he had no advice to give, and seemed superfluous. He may have well been a landscaper. I don’t regret reading it as a diversion, and as I said, I will go back and read the first two books.

I really enjoyed this book which is the third book in the series. It starts with a very interesting prologue that had me interested from the very start with an ending I wasn’t expecting. I enjoyed the entire book and would love a fourth book if possible.

The Perfect Nurse. Book 3

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 that's at risk. It's my family 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.

Darcy is still suffering from amnesia she got as the result of a car accident. She is now fleeing Florida to try and reconnect with her family.

Filled with twists, turns, lies, secrets, and murder, I was fully invested in this book. The story is told from Darcy and Pippa's perspectives. The pace is fast. We also get family sacrifices and loyalty. The characters are well-developed. Pippa is struggling to keep her marriage together. I recommend that you read this series in the order they were written in, this book can't be read as a standalone.

Darcy is on the move! With the police after her and her family, she is trying not to get caught looking for them. Her family is hiding away in cabins that are no longer used. Will she make it to them? With flashbacks happening, she ends up at her old college. Hoping her professor will be able to help her. But instead, he’s no help at all. Meanwhile, her family is trying to get away from the cabins. There were lots of twists and turn’s. I was shocked by the ending. Another great book by Daniel! Thank you so much NetGalley, Daniel and Bookouture for the ARC!

This started off right where we left off in the last book. I love when a book continues, it was a page turning..
fast paced and very entertaining. The first two books were so good and I’m so happy to know this one was just as good.

I love the depth of this book; it showed how strong a family can be when things get complicated.

The Nurses Mistake by Daniel Hurst

This is the third installment of the perfect Nurse series by Daniel, and I just have to give the highest kudos to this author. Every book is amazing and holds my attention to the fullest! I love the characters and the storyline what a great escape to chase after this incredible story!

I just can’t say enough about this author and the ability to suck me in with every story! I loved it!

Thank you NetGalley And Bookoture!

The Nurse's Mistake Daniel Hurst

5 stars

The final episode in the Nurse's story.

This is the third and final instalment of this story starts with both Darcy and her sister Pippa on the run form the police. Darcy is on her own trying to find her parents, her sister Pippa and her brother-in-law and nephew. However she does not know that they are also on the run as Pippa has now almost committed murder in an effort to save her sister.

Pippa and her family have managed to find an isolated cabin and they are hiding out there in the hope that they can reconnect with Darcy. This story is really aboutr how they re-connect and deal with all the murfers that have been committed by the two sisters.

As always these books are so easy to read and I finished the book in a few days. The story of the fates of Darcy and her family is bitter sweet and makes you think about how some people actually deserve their fate. I would recommend reading the first two books to get the full story of nurse Darcy and Daniel Hurst has now become one of my favourite authors.

Incredibly electrifying!! A nurse who kills people. Who would have thought! Totally bingeworthy in fact the whole series is. It would make a interesting drama tv series.

This was a exciting page turner for sure. I didnt want to put it down, I actually lost sleep because I was up reading, I just had to find out what happens next, I highly recommend this series!

Third installment of the Perfect Nurse series. Darcy is heading back to Chicago. Another excellent book from Daniel Hurst. I don't know how he keeps coming up with these stories but they are all of the same high standard. We have got to know the family well by this book and we are following with bated breath. Another bestseller I believe. I would recommend this book to all.

Thank you Bookouture for a copy on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The third book in the Perfect Nurse series by popular author Daniel Hurst is The Nurse’s Mistake.
Nurse Darcy is back…..
Darcy and her sister Pippa are on the run after the fateful events previously.
Trying to avoid authorities while in hiding and seeking the truth.
But things always happen when the nurses are involved….
A reasonably good read.
I do suggest reading the first two books before reading this, as it does follow on.
While I enjoyed it, it’s probably the weakest one out of the three.
Short on suspense and twists, there’s no real surprises here.
It seems as though it’s wrapped up with a nice little sneaky ending…..
Let’s see where Daniel goes next…

SUCH a good series and secretly hoping there will be a book #4! I loved the POVs from both Darcy and Pippa — really felt connected to both characters. Daniel Hurst’s books hook you from the very beginning and he has a very creative style of writing — perfect for fans of Freida McFadden!

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

We are back with sisters Darcy and Pippa, as they are both on the run due to the murders they have committed.

Darcy is trying to get back home, where she believes her family all are, but that’s not as easy as it sounds when you have amnesia.

This is the third book in the series by this author. A compelling plot that sucks you in from the very first page.

There are plenty of twists and turns along the way. Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining read.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Daniel Hurst once again had Me hanging on by thread. It's a nail biter. I was not disappointed. I absolutely love this but I think this is my favorite by him. . It takes you down a rabbit hole I guess I can say..

The Nurse’s Mistake is the third book in this series. As usual there was some twists I didn’t see coming. I really enjoyed this book along with other two in the series. Daniel Hurst has done it again!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

This is the third book in The Perfect Nurse series by Author Daniel Hurst and I think they are all equally great! In this book, nurses and sisters, Darcy and Pippa are both running from the law. Lots of exciting things take place in this book as they try to keep a step ahead of the police. I am hoping there will be a fourth book in this series

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this book that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.

This is the gripping, unputdownable third installment of the Nurse trilogy. Nurse Darcy Miller is accused of multiple murders. She is the victim of retrograde amnesia. As she finds herself the object of national media coverage and experiencing confusing flashbacks, she tries to make her way across country in search of her missing family. Darcy faces capture at every step. Her family, also on the run,, must evade their own capture. This is an amazing story! I HIGHLY recommend it. The characters are well-crafted and the plot is solid and fast paced.
