I thoroughly enjoyed the first instalment of Daniel Hurst's The Perfect Nurse series, so I was eagerly anticipating the release of the second book. I can happily say that it did not disappoint me in the slightest.
In the second instalment of The Perfect Nurse series, Darcy, grappling with amnesia and the guilt of a past crime, relocates to Florida. There, she accepts a job caring for an elderly man in the early stages of dementia, hired by his attractive but enigmatic son. As Darcy navigates her new role, the father cryptically warns her about his son, leaving her to question whether the warnings are genuine or a product of his deteriorating mental state.
Meanwhile, Darcy's sister Pippa, complicit in helping Darcy cover up a crime, finds herself increasingly isolated from her husband and family as suspicions grow. When someone from Darcy's past resurfaces, threatening to unravel their carefully guarded secrets, the stakes escalate for both sisters.
