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.

The Nurse's Mistake:

A roller-coaster of a read. With intrigue, atmosphere, and action in equal measure.

The author does an excellent job of stringing us all along on this final leg of Darcy Miller's journey; keeping the storyline fresh and twisty all the way to it's conclusion.

A strong finish to an excellent series. 4 stars

Usually when I read a series i find that the second and third books are not as good as the first book but for this series it's not true. I have been invested in this series and it doesn't disappoint.

As much as I should not like Darcy because of her misdeeds I actually like her. I enjoy this character.

Twists and Turns throughout and i was on a wild ride the whole time. A definite recommend. I also suggest you read The Perfect Nurse first.

Thanks Bookouture and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own and isn't influenced by anyone else

I have absolutely LOVED this series! And although it had a good final ending, I am secretly hoping that there is more.

Darcy has committed murder, has traumatic brain amnesia, but is making her way from Florida to her hometown in Chicago.

Darcy’s sister, Pippa, and the rest of the family (Pippa’s husband – Karl, son and their parents) are headed to forest to runaway from the murder that they committed or were an accessory to.

Darcy is such a likeable character, that no matter all the bad and crazy things she has done I was cheering for her. The author does a great job of giving enough background on the storyline, but you’ll want to read the entire series in order.

I did not put this one down until I turned the final page. So good. It’s one of those series that you wish you could read again for the first time.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Jaw on the floor, I was hooked from the first page!!! Now I gotta get the rest of the books in this series!

This was my first encounter with Hurst’s work, and it introduced an interesting aspect: one of the main characters struggles with her memories and her past actions. This parallel between the character’s journey and my own experience as a reader, not knowing her past, added a unique layer to the reading experience.

While the book was a solid read, I found the plot twists to be rather predictable, with subtle developments that didn’t particularly surprise me. Nonetheless, it was an engaging introduction to Hurst’s series, and I appreciated the straightforward storytelling approach.

The Perfect Nurse trilogy is my favourite Daniel Hurst series so far and I loved “The Nurse’s Mistake”, which is book three. It would work as a standalone, but the history from the first two brilliant books really makes this one a standout thriller.

As with all of Daniel’s books, this book is packed with tension, drama and great storytelling. The main characters, sisters Darcy and Pippa, are both nurses and are both now on the run. Darcy is alone, except for the notebook she uses to write down everything, due to a brain injury that has affected her memory, while Pippa is hiding with her husband, her son, and the girl’s parents.

Darcy has some memory flashbacks which lead her to a college professor who she remembers and knows she can go to for help. Meanwhile Pippa and the rest of their family become inadvertently caught up in another crime!

These are good people who just keep getting caught up in bad circumstances! As they try to reunite, clear their names and avoid capture, the fast paced action doesn’t let up! I hope there is more to come!

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Sisters Darcy and Pippa are back in this third explosive installment of THE PERFECT NURSE series. I can't stress enough that this is NOT a standalone! You should definitely read the first two books to get the plot events in order because there are a lot of moving parts.

The sisters are separated and on the run. Darcy is still struggling with memory issues, and Pippa is struggling to keep her marriage together. But then a shocking turn of events makes Pippa's former plea of "I did it to protect my family" suddenly hit home with her husband.

I know when I'n reading a Daniel Hurst book that I'm guaranteed to have a good time. The plot was wild, and you'll have to suspend A LOT of disbelief, but this was a thriller with heart. I really enjoyed the themes of loyalty and family that were interspersed throughout. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this early read. At the time this review was written, this title was expected to publish November 5, 2024.

I have read and loved quite a few of Daniel’s books and this was no exception. The 3rd in the Nurse series and a good story that gripped from the start. I think it is best to read them in order to get the back story. I hope this isn’t the end of this series so please write another one.

The Nurses's Mistake by Daniel Hurst is another fast paced book.
This is the 3rd book in the series. I'd recommend you read the first two books first.
First book is The Perfect Nurse
Second book is The Nurse's Lie
The third book is The Nurses's Mistake.
Really good series and will highly recommend.

A brilliant follow on from the previous books. This was tense and exciting and I couldn't put it down until I found out what happened to the sisters! A fantastic ending too. Loved it!

This book continues the story of Darcy and Pippa, two nurses who are sisters. Both are guilty of murder and are on the run, but Darcy is alone, trying to return to her family, while Pippa is with her parents, husband and young son. Darcy believes that if she can return to her family home, she may find clues as to the whereabouts of the rest of her family and reunite with them. All Darcy has to help her is a notebook containing her home address, and the names of her family. Darcy had been injured in an accident and lost a great deal of her memories, but has been having some flashbacks recently.
Having read the two previous books in this trilogy, I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Darcy next. The plot was as gripping as the previous books, with twists and turns galore. A great psychological thriller, I was sorry when I finished this trilogy.

Nurse Darcy has killed someone, but there were extenuating circumstances. Because her sister, Pippa, and the rest of the family came to her rescue, they are also wanted by the police, and end up fleeing to a remote, deserted campground. Darcy returns to her hometown of Chicago hoping to find clues as to the whereabouts of the rest of the family. The desperate chase leads to the death of yet another man.

Perhaps if I had read the first two books in the series, this one would have made more sense. It was just too farfetched for me to enjoy the mystery and the suspense, with too many deaths within the circle of one 'innocent' person.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of The Nurse’s Mistake. I am sorry to say that I'm glad to say the series has ended. Daniel Hurst books are Excellent, I'm not sure what happened with these three books. Too many unbelievable near misses, very young adult reading. I'm sorry.

I love this series and this book is no exception!!

Daniel Hurst knows how to write an excellent popcorn thriller and it's perfect for fans of Freida McFadden! There are so many good twists and turns and this is the third book the "Perfect Nurse" series so I highly recommend reading the other two books in this series for maximum enjoyment! I wish netgalley would release the audiobooks for request as I love listening to his books on audiobook. The narrators are always do such fabulous jobs and add to the suspense.

I have never been disappointed with any of this author's books. He always leaves me wanting more and waiting for his next release. This is another great read that I highly recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookoutre for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Nurse’s Mistake by Daniel Hurst due to be published November 5, 2024.
After reading the first two books in the nurse’s series, I had to read this one!
Darcy and her sister, Pippa, are on the run after all they have done. They never meant to hurt people since they are nurses, but sometimes the unexpected happens. Will they be able to get away?
I enjoy Daniel Hurst books. This one was no exception, even though at times it was a little far fetched on what Darcy and Pippa were able to get away with – both of them (I won’t give spoilers). It still had enough twists, turns, and secrets to keep me interested throughout the entire book – and make me want to read another Daniel Hurst book. He is still one of my favorite authors!

I was so happy to be able to read this early. After reading the others I couldn't wait for the third, and it didn't disappoint. That can't be the end though...surely????

The continuation of The Perfect Nurse series... fast-paced psychological thriller that gives us a conclusion for Darcy and her family. Hurst writes books that are fun to read, and what I call "popcorn" thrillers because they are pure entertainment. Not 100% true to reality, but if you can suspend reality and enjoy some crazy, this is another good one.

Darcy is on her way back to Chicago in hopes of meeting up with her family. She still doesn't remember everything that happened in her life, but things are coming back in bits and pieces. Her family meanwhile has escaped Chicago and is hiding out until things die down.

Overall, a fun, entertaining read!
