The Nurse by Valerie Keogh
5.0
Lissa McColl learns at an early age to do very bad things and then her problems go away. Now working as a nurse she is respected and valued for the first time. But deep down Lissa hates her job and all the selfish, rude and inconsiderate people she has to deal with every day. Being overlooked helps Lissa get close to the people, she can find out their secrets.... sometimes it ends with deadly results.
Lissa works many hours in various nursing homes to pay for her mother's care and keep her in an expensive nursing home. Lissa works so much she doesn't have much of a life, she has no friends, no family besides her mother. She lives in a small converted garage and buys all her clothes at charity shops. She counts her money and saves as much as she can. Her life changes one day when a fellow nurse invites her to coffee . The nurse Carol, lives with her parents, dresses nice and is much more outgoing than Lissa. Plus Carol seems to get all the best nursing jobs that pay well. We soon find Lissa uncovering some truths and she realizes that not everyone is as they seem and it seems that we all have skeletons in our closets maybe some have more than others and it may just end with deadly results!
