About this listen
The wife. The mistress. Who will get their revenge?
I was the other woman. The mistress. Everyone blamed Doctor Drew Devlin’s death on me. And I’ve paid the price for loving the wrong man.
Now, I have dark circles under my eyes because I can’t sleep at night. I lost everything–friends, family, my home and even my freedom. Drew’s devious wife Fern tore my whole world apart. And she thinks she’s got away with murder.
But she’s wrong. It’s time for revenge. For myself… and for my baby.
Her new life on the windswept Cornish coast is about to come crashing down around her. I’m determined for everyone to find out the true story. Because now it’s not just my life in danger, I’ve got to protect the doctor’s daughter too.
I know Fern will expect me to come after her–I’m certain she will have her own plan in place to stop me. After all, she’s duped so many people before.
But then again, Fern always did underestimate me. And by the time she realizes, it’ll be far too late for the doctor’s wife…
An absolutely addictive psychological thriller with twist after twist 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 Doctor’s Mistress will keep you listening long into the night!

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Eleven long hard years I waited, my heart breaking for our son, who didn’t know his father was coming back. Today, my hands shake as I try to understand what I’ve just learned: my husband has a new wife. This wasn’t part of our plan. Eleven years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. I sacrificed everything to help him fix it. But now he’s put our son and me in danger again. We had a plan. He broke the rules. But who will pay the price?

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

‘My name is Darcy, I’m your nurse and 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 walking down the street, you’d think I was pretty ordinary–I wear the typical 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.

After the year Aidan and I have had, we needed some respite. My husband is overworked, whilst I'm anxious about the past, so renting a night at this converted barn house in the countryside seems like the perfect place for the pair of us to relax and unwind. It might be situated at the bottom of a large garden, but it's private enough that we don't have to mingle with the homeowners who live nearby. Or at least that's what I thought . . .

The Doctor's Mistress by Daniel Hurst is so much better than The Doctor's Widow. As soon as I put my request in, I saw the title for book #4 and was certain it ruined this book. Thankfully, I was wrong as The Doctor's Mistress doesn't go in the expected direction and is more about how each woman is coping with motherhood and their past choices. I suggest not reading the summary for The Doctor's Child until finishing this book.
I like that we hear from Fern, Alice, and Tomlin and that they continue to play the entertaining cat and mouse game. There are some decisions made that I didn't agree with, but didn't find them outlandish or ridiculous (well, one regarding Dimitri, but any questions of validity are answered before the end). It's an exciting and emotional read that I highly recommend.
Sarah Durham and Luke R. Francis are great narrators. I like the range and emotion they brought to their characters. It would have been nice if Fern and Alice each had their own narrator as they sound exactly the same. Anytime I picked the book up in the middle of a chapter, I had to use context clues to remember who we were hearing from.
Thank you to Bookouture for providing me with an ALC.

Good story
Third installment in this trilogy proves that the characters Fern and Alice are definitely problematic. Both continuously and consistently have drama in their lives that never ends. The ending is a bit off but such as it is.

My favorite of the series!
Daniel Hurst, the king of thrills, returns following The Doctor's Wife (#1), and The Doctor's Widow (#2), with THE DOCTOR'S MISTRESS (#3) — my favorite of the three, a gripping followup when the Mistress is obsessed with tracking down the Widow for revenge —to make her pay for having set her up for murder.
Presently, both women have babies, which adds to the complexity. Then we have a few more characters involved... Will motherhood win out in the end?
Daniel, Please, a #4, THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER! I would love to see how this works out! Can you imagine?!
UPDATE: Looks like we will be getting THE DOCTOR'S CHILD, coming, May 1, 2024! YAY!
Picking up from the previous books, Fern (Dr. Drew's wife/widow) has escaped all the murders and the police. She is hiding out in Cornwall, but of course, not the finest part because she is living under the radar with little money and changed her appearance. She is slumming it, unlike her previous life of glamour.
In the previous books, we all despised Fern (wife/widow) and felt sorry for Alice (mistress). However, in THE DOCTOR'S MISTRESS, the tables are turned. Fern turns out to be the nice one, a loving mother, and Alice is so driven by revenge after being set up for murder and spending time in prison, she has no time, love, or patience for a baby or Tomlin. (the detective)
Poor Tomlin (the cop who arrested Alice) has now fallen for her, and they are in a relationship. Pretty much one-sided. He loves the little girl and thinks if he can find Fern, Alice will be happy. The poor man is the one working and taking care of the baby, while Alice goes off impulsively like a wild woman. She has no bond with the little girl.
Fern and Alice both have baby girls. Fern's baby is not Drew's (but Greg's), Drew's friend whom she murdered when he was getting too close to the truth. He was pretending to love her. Alice (has Drew's baby girl).
Told from POVs: Alice, Fern, and Tomlin, we get an action-packed scene at the beginning where someone's baby has been taken—but at this point, we do not know which one. This wraps up nicely at the end, where we find out.
Fern: Cornwall: Daughter: Cecilia. She has papers and documents and is going by another name. Funny story about how she got them. I will hand it to Fern; she is resourceful and a survivor. Then she has the horrible landlord and the crazy Victoria neighbor. (some funny scenes) Note: never transfer money in someone else's name! Even though Fern is a murderer, she is a lot of fun in this installment. Looking forward to seeing how Pierre turns out.
Alice: Arberness: Daughter: Evelyn. Now out of prison and living with Tomlin, she is selfish and self-centered, thinking of no one but herself (until the end). She is getting nowhere with her PI, but little does she know Tomlin has hired a PI, and they have picked up a trail for Fern. The baby reminds her of Drew whom she had an affair.
But when they pick up Fern's trail, she does not want to go to the cops, she wants to handle it herself and no place for a baby. What will Alice do? I was losing all patience with Alice and her revenge obsession and enjoyed Fern's connection with her daughter the most.
The showdown scene was well done, and I commend the author for writing it this way! Poor Tomlin cannot catch a break! When two mothers are pushed to the brim, you will be shocked at the twist of events when they put their babies first.
I enjoyed the Epilogue (5 years later), and the book wraps up nicely, but I hope this is not the end. I want to hear more from Fern and would like for the two baby girls to meet one another as teens. This would make for a juicy tale as THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER.
I was fortunate to have the e-book and the audiobook narrated by Luke R. Francis and Sarah Durham for a spine-chilling, action-packed, addictive performance! Highly recommend the audiobook!
I highly recommend reading the other two books before THE DOCTOR'S MISTRESS. A wicked, fun game of cat-and-mouse thriller and a nice catchup with the characters. My favorite of the series!

Unexpected ending
As in the books before. It holds you interest and has twists and turns that keeps you interested. I would highly recommend

Boring, repetetive, not good.
2 hours into the audiobook and I am really irritated. There is a dramatic change in personality of Fern which is not plausible. Then, there is nearly nothing happening. It's all annoying repetition of the first 2 books to fill the pages. The two woman are narrated by one reader, which is unfortunate and doesn't do it for me. I am giving back the audiobook.

Great 3rd book
I love how all the story lines were completed in this 3rd book of the series. The female narrator used the exact same voice for Fern & Alice. She needs to alter voices or use a 3rd narrator. I enjoyed the series.
