About this listen

Well! I HORSED through The Nurse, pure HORSED! Tense, pacey, unputdownable.’ – MARIAN KEYES

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

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 disappear…

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

A twist in the story!

This was a great book. I wasn't expecting the plot twist. There were times I didn't want to stop listening, but had to. Nicely done!

Good but Mixed

Good story, and different, not like so many other stories. It was slow to get into, but then became very engaging. The Marion chapters were well narrated, but so so repetetitive, all inner feelings and thoughts, I had to fast forward because each Marion chapter was the same, with little or no actual movement of the plot. Very little, if anything actually happened. The "him" chapters were the most engaging. His narration was excellent, and the narrator captured the character perfectly. The him chapters were also, in my opinion, the best written and carried the story.

The ending was mixed for me. I was not happy with one very important thing. I can't be specific without giving anything away. I was very much hoping for a different outcome on that element.

Excellent story

This book gripped me in as soon as I started listening. It’s so good! This is my first time listening to an audio book and I will definitely listen to more from this author. This book is very well written and articulated. Listening almost made me feel like I was watching a movie!
