When cardio thoracic surgeon, Anna’s, son is abducted, she must kill a patient on the operating table to get him back or he dies instead. Her neighbour has been murdered to make sure that she knows they’re serious. 
Police Officer Rachel is assigned the neighbour’s murder case, but she can’t see beyond the missing child (who the parents haven’t reported as missing at all). 
Nurse Margot suspects that Anna meant to harm the patient, but will anybody trust her now that she’s disgraced? 

The premise of the book is great and it did start out as a page-turning thriller, however by about half way the characters seemed to be jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous, the plot was getting more convoluted and I still didn’t like any of them! Anna’s plucking was off putting and distracting, Rachel was shortsighted and repetitive and Margot was becoming a cliche for her rough upbringing. 

All in all, it was a good thriller though, just don’t expect to like any of them by the end!

As a crime novel, Do No Harm did its job and kept me hooked til the end. However, I think the character building could have been a lot better—I found I didn't really care about Zack in particular because very little was ever given about him until the very end.

Loved this book. From the blurb it really doesnt seem like something you could make 400+ pages out of. But it's gripping, it's emotional in places & overall just a good read.


I did have some issues with the whole being watched thing. I mean the first half of the book Anna was contacted a Lot and followed A lot but then it just seemed to suddenly stop happening. Cameras in her house but yet she gets another phone and they don't realise? Was a bit annoying on that part.

MASSIVE SPOILERS !!!!!!! 
I was shocked that  Anna actually set Margot up to be murdered??? it actually made me dislike her a lot more as a character. I just started to feel for Margot and understand her as a person and then just like that Anna destroys it. I can't help but think it could've worked out better if they had spoken to each other more and didn't ignore each other from their own biases. Was a bit sad honestly.
