The Nurse by J.A Corrigan (Canelo) 5 Stars

Publication date 20/5/21 Pages 286

This is a book that I was given early into my introduction to Netgalley and didn't understand that I only had 55 days to read and review it, so I lost this book. I decided to have a look for it on Borrowbox app and it was there as an ebook. I liked the books cover and title and I'm glad I managed to find this book again it was brilliant.

So thanks to Netgalley and publishers for allowing me to read this book so early into my book reviewing journey. Also Borrowbox for having this book available to read.

Synopsis

When you hear her story, will you believe her?

Rose Marlowe is a hard-working nurse, a loving wife, and a merciless killer. Or so she says. Despite her confession, it is hard to believe that this beautiful, kind woman could have killed her vulnerable patient in cold blood.

Down-on-his luck author and ex-journalist, Theo Hazel, is convinced that there’s more to what happened than Rose is telling, and so decides to visit her behind bars to write her story. His first surprise comes when Rose reveals that the victim was not a stranger to her.

As time goes on, it seems that Rose is letting Theo see behind her perfect mask. With each new visit, he learns terrible new things about her heart-breaking past. With each new visit, he becomes more and more convinced that she can’t be a killer. But is he trying to free an innocent victim, or falling prey to a calculating murderer?

A gripping and unputdownable thriller that will keep you guessing into the early hours of the morning. Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient, Shari Lapena and JP Delaney.

My Review

Wow!! What a story this book will have you hooked before you know it. This book is definitely for those who love psychological thrillers. The suspense and tension in this book is amazing and quite possibly the best tension in a book I have ever read. The story line is brilliant in every ways, I can't fault this book. The depth of the characters makes your fall in love with them or hate them with a passion from the beginning. Part of this book was set in Manchester UK and being from Manchester myself I enjoyed the connection, it is like it happened in my back yard. The twists and turns in this book may give you whiplash and is an epic edge of your seat page turner. The author is a pure genius at giving the readers exactly what they want to read with a brilliant balance. She is on a higher level than 90% of the other authors out there, its sheer brilliance. Although I do like to rave about brilliant authors there isn't many that are classed as high as this, its written that well. Plus not giving anything away the ending will leave your jaw on the floor.

J.A CORRIGAN this might only be your second published book but you are a genius and I can't wait to read further books, get writing quick lol. Thank you for writing this story so magnificently.

If you didn't quite get me I highly recommend this book quick go out and buy it then thanks me later.
