The Nurse

by Claire Allan

Someone is watching her. She just doesn’t know it yet.

The unputdownable new book from the bestselling author of Her Name Was Rose.

Everyone has a secret. But some are worse than you could ever imagine.

Nell Sweeney has led an ordinary life. Every day she walks to and from the hospital where she works as a nurse, believing that no harm can befall her.

Until one day she is taken.

Because someone out there has a secret. Someone out there has been watching Nell – and they’ve been watching others like her too.

Nell is the unlucky one – she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And if she isn’t found soon, someone will make sure that she isn’t the last woman to be taken…

A chilling, gripping read, perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh and Gillian McAllister.

My Take

I devoured this book in about a day. It was almost impossible to put down. It’s a dark book about dark topics but I ultimately found it more inspiring than depressing. And unlike a lot of thrillers, it wasn’t completely plot-driven, with cookie-cutter characters and bad dialog. I will look for more by this author.
