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.

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!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC. I am a little torn on it. It was easy to read and I found the end satisfying. The Perfect Nurse was written in First Person POV PRESENT TENSE. Sometimes I dont't mind that but I do enjoy past tense better, but in this case I was super aware of it. I kept thinking about it. Maybe just me though. All in all though it was an entertaining read and is the first book I've read from this author. I love all stories with nurses in them. ( I secretly wanted to be one but never made it happen.) The idea of an unreliable nurse is frightening . Entertaining twisty read that fits genre well.

So many twists and turns that I never saw coming. Each section was so well done, and kept me glued to find out what the HECK was happening. Hurst does this so well. Lies, secrets, murder, family and friends are all hiding something which makes this a very FUN read!

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Perfect Nurse by Daniel Hurst due to be published July 1, 2024.
I have read 35 of Daniel Hurst's books, so I was thrilled to be able to review this one – he is one of my favorite authors!
Darcy and Pippa are nurses who go to work for Adrian and Scarlett – Scarlett is incapacitated and needs help – more help than Adrian can provide. But when Darcy and Pippa start working there, Darcy notices little things that do not seem right. Are they there to help, or should they be in fear for their life?
The Perfect Nurse is a typical Daniel Hurst book – starts out and you wonder where it is going and why everyone seems so “normal”. Oh. My. Gosh. About halfway through the reveals start and they don’t stop. You will never see them coming! I couldn’t get through this one fast enough to see what happened to Darcy, Pippa, Adrian, and Scarlett.
Daniel Hurst came through again – it’s why he is one of my favorite authors!

Another brilliant thriller from Daniel Hurst, full.of twists, shocks and surprises. I couldn't put it down, loved it!

Another quick afternoon read from the master of popcorn psychological thrillers. Bizarre confusing plot that is hard to keep up with what is happening; complete with a naive main character who constantly puts herself in danger. The perfect ingredients for an entertaining story that keeps you guessing!

I really enjoyed this one as it's fast-paced and clever with several twists I didn't see coming! Darcy and Pippa are nurses who take care of Pippa--wife of Adrian--as she slipped and fell in her kitchen and has brain damage so can't remember most things. But Darcy senses things are "off" and vows to discover what's really going on. But soon a strange man begins following her and she believes her house has been broken into at night, but the cops find nothing out of the ordinary and Darcy becomes even more paranoid as she can't make sense of any of this. I haven't read Hurst before but really enjoyed this one as it's so unusual...but I may not be excited to go to a hospital any time soon!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

I always get super excited when I see a new book by Hurst pop up on NG. I know I can count on him to deliver a fast and twisty read and this one did not disappoint. What a crazy ride!! I did NOT expect things to go the way that they did. I love the element of surprise and Hurst brilliantly laid me out with one big sucker punch to the face. Well played my friend! I loved every minute of this book and look forward to reading what he comes out with next. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Thank you to the author, Bookouture, and NetGalley for granting me digital access in exchange for my honest review!

Daniel Hurst has done it once again. His books are like being on a roller coaster ride. Read this one I promise you will not regret it.

This is my first Daniel Hurst book, I’m an RN and spent many years as a visiting nurse - so I was excited to receive an advanced copy.
The plot and FMC were quite predictable from the start. Darcy’s thought processes were all over the place and often inconsistent. The story dragged on relentlessly for me. There were also multiple inconsistencies that made it difficult to be fully engaged. The portrayal of nurses was deplorable. This book was extremely disappointing, poorly researched and I struggled to complete it for my review.
Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This talented popular author has written a story that while fiction, reads like nonfiction. It could be real life...Secrets and red herrings...realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. It is truly a quick read...mystery and intrigue. Enjoy. Thanks Netgalley.

I have no words for this. I wrote a lengthy review on Goodreads. The book made me so mad in many ways, I’ve never wrote a rant review and here we have a first.

I am done with Daniel Hursts books now. They’re all the same basically. The same stereotype with a different cover.

How an author can do so little research and call it a book, no idea. There was no thrill, no suspense , no twist. It was expected because I have read his books before. So I am officially done with wasting my time. Partially I am mad because I used to enjoy his earlier works. Part of me is tired of the quantity over quality aspect. So yeah I am really sorry, I never gave one star on NetGalley before but here we have it.
