I love that Daniel Hurst made this into a trilogy!! I loved following the (stressful) life of Darcy on the run! I couldn’t wait to see what happened next and if she would get out of it. This had action at every turn! The first two books in this series are just as good and intense! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy
I seek out Daniel’s books as soon as I can get them! I love his easy style! The Nurse’s Mistake is the third of an ongoing series that I feel will be continuing! I’ve loved all of these books as well as the Doctor’s series. In fact I’ve read all of his books! As we continue on the adventures of Darcy and Pippa (along with family), the action is non-stop! You root for everyone as there are all clearly good people caught up in unfortunate circumstances- well… murder that is! There’s an airiness as there is in all of the author’s books, and you can’t help but smile at their many escapades. Obviously there’s also tension, but overall, you are just clinging to hope that all will work out okay! Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
OK, I admit it. I am addicted. Daniel Hurst writes what I like to call “popcorn thrillers.” They are fast paced, easy to read, a bit over the top, and, dare I say, fun to read. (See The Doctor’s Wife series). This is the third in The Perfect Nurse Series. After the second one I wasn’t sure if I would read the next. Yet, here I am, reading and writing about it.
Darcy, once a nurse, has amnesia as the result of an accident. She killed someone, relocated to Florida where she kills someone else, and is now fleeing Florida to hopefully reunite with her family. Sister Pippa, also a nurse, was drawn into the drama and also killed someone. Now Pippa, her son and husband and parents are on the run. Got that? What danger will they find? Will they be caught? Will Darcy be arrested or will she escape once again?
As in the prior books, there are twists, turns, deceits, and, yes, more murder. It also continues the question, how far would you go to save your sibling, your child, your self? And, yes, one must suspend some belief as those on the run encounter various situations.
Want to make any bets as to whether I will read the next book/series from Hurst?
When you read any book by this author, you know that you are in for a thrilling ride! A great read and love how it all turned out in the storyline. Highly recommend any book by this author.
Daniel Hurst is one of my favourite authors. His writing style is fast paced, intriguing and engaging. This is the 3rd book in this series and probably the best one. I finished it in almost one sitting. I’d definitely recommend this book to all who like this genre or author.
One of my favorite authors…intrigue and mystery with red herrings…kept me guessing…realistic characters kept the story moving quickly. Family and friends…not so friendly…thanks Netgalley
The Nurse’s Mistake
By: Daniel Hurst
Pub Date: November 5, 2024
Publisher: Bookouture
Another fast-paced thriller by Hurst. Darcy is on run with her family. Her family has no idea where she is. The Law has been looking for Darcy, because she has killed.
Darcy is a nurse and her job is to help people, so what are her real motives?
To be transparent some were to protect others and some were self-defense. Will she take the blame to protect her family? Her sister Pippa is with her parents.
The last straw was when Darcy fell in love with a married doctor. Thank you Bookouture for this gifted e-ARC. I can always count on a fun and fast-paced thriller by Hurst.
This is the 3rd in a series. The others are The Nurse’s Lie and The Perfect Nurse.
The Nurse's Mistake is a fast paced read that has you routing for Darcy as she and her family are on the run from the law.
Darcy has indeed killed a few people.
Some were self defense, some to protect others and some she will just take the blame for in order to protect her family.
Pippa along with her family and parents are also in hiding.
Did they ever pick the wrong place to hide.
Daniel Hurst once again knows exactly when to turn up the tension, throw a twist into the story and still have you routing for Darcy and Pippa.
I am a fairly new fan of Daniel Hurst and I have loved all his books to date and cant wait to see what he has in store next.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a pulse pounding, hold your breath read.
I am always looking forward to one of this author's books. They are always well put together and I neveer want them to end.
Although the main character is a killer, you also feel for her. She takes other people's lives, yes, but she is not cold blooded (well not always ;) ) and she is often back into a corner. It's usually her or them. And if you would be in her shoes, what would you do? Exactly!
It was nice to see that, even when the whole world is against you, there are still people willing to fight in your corner.
I loved Darcy's ingenuity and I do hope there will be a fourth book. I am not ready at all to say goodbye to Darcy and her family.
If not I will happily read his next series or stand alone. 5 stars
Thank you
Book three of this series and in my opinion the best one.
A great psychological thriller which kept me reading late into the night.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
The Nurse's Mistake is a gripping novel that is part of The Perfect Nurse series by Daniel Hurst. This addictive psychological thriller hooked me from the opening chapter and kept me interested throughout. The plot was compelling. The book is filled with suspense, tension, and unexpected twists.
Overall, I would recommend The Nurse's Mistake to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with well-developed characters and a captivating storyline.

This is another great series from Daniel Hurst! I read The perfect Nurse and then The Nurse’s Lie next. Great story- I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline.. I do think that I need to wait until all the books in the series are published so I don’t forget things in between! I have never been disappointed with any of this authors books and The Nurse’s Mistake does not disappoint!! Perhaps a 4th may happen! Nice quick read-love that the chapters are short. Thank you to NetGalley, Daniel Hurst and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
My first mistake was falling in love with the handsome, married doctor. My second mistake was killing him! 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! This book was definitely focused on nursing care to me! It was a good read! It was a bit different but still an enjoyable book! I would say it wasn’t one of my top favorites from this series but it was still really good! I would definitely recommend reading it! Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
Has anyone ever read a Daniel Hurst book they did not enjoy. I sure haven't. I loved book 3 of the Perfect Nurse Series. The Nurse's Mistake was awesome.
So, if Thelma and Louise were nurses, and family got pulled in too - and maybe got to hide out for a while? Plenty of excitement as the manhunt progresses - and maybe in the end, well no Thunderbird over the cliff anyway.
