'My name is Darcy, I'm your nurse. I'm here to help you.' I repeat the words I've said so many times. Except this time, I don't mean it...

If you saw me, you'd think I was pretty ordinary - I wear a crisp, white nursing uniform, my hands are scrubbed clean and you'd have no reason to believe I was anything other than a good citizen. A good nurse.

But looks can be deceiving. You shouldn't trust me - because I don't even know if I can trust myself.

Now I stare in the mirror - dark smudges under my eyes and blood on my hands - listening for the sound of police sirens.

Because the truth is I had to do something terrible. I broke all the rules a nurse should follow. And now someone is dead...

An utterly page-turning psychological thriller from the number one bestselling author of The Doctor's Wife. If you loved Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train then The Perfect Nurse will have you flipping the pages until the breath-taking final pages.
