The Nurse is a psychological thriller that I could not put down! I see so many books say for fans of “The Housemaid” This book did not say it but this was finally a book that was similar to The Housemaid that was not a shameless clone. This was a great read.

Emily graduated top of her class as an LPN and she gets an offer that was meant only for the top of the class. It’s an offer from a rich and successful doctor, Dr. Roth, to look after his sick wife Sabrina.  You get a drip feed of information about Sabrina throughout the story. It was never too much information, it was the perfect amount to have you screaming for more. Sabrina thinks her husband is drugging her and holding her captive, Dr. Roth says that his wife has delusions, and as the reader you do not know who to believe.

In all the scenarios Emily found herself in I kept asking myself who would I believe? What would I do? Honestly, I have no idea so I’m glad I just got to read what Emily did. 

By the end of this book I was shocked at the twists and turns and where we ended up. I didn’t see most of this one coming. My only complaint about this book is its length. It was longer than a lot of other books like it and there were some points that dragged on a little too long but it was never enough to pull me out of the experience.

If you like thrillers this is a book you do not want to miss.

Final score: 5/5
