Do No Harm…
Bullied, overlooked and under-appreciated,

As a nurse, she is respected and valued for
the first time in her life. But Lissa hates her job and the selfish, rude and inconsiderate
people she has to deal with.

Lissa can get close to people, find out their secrets… sometimes with deadly
results...

Dark and fascinating to read something from the point of
view, and the understanding of a killer. I wasn’t sure I would get into this
but how wrong I was, hooked and didn’t want to put it down.
Lissa is our killer, premeditated murderer, clever young lady
and actually quite a messed-up person that does have feelings (in some ways!)
and actually isn’t a killer for killings sake.
Bullied at school, not seen by fellow students unless it is
to mock or tease, Lissa quickly comes to realise her intelligence can help change
the situation, she doesn’t want to be popular, she just wants a level of
respect that all young girls should receive. She formulates a plan and sees it
through with ease, no suspicion of wrongdoing at all. This gives Lissa a strange
sense of power that we see stay within her as she gets older.
Lissa’s home life isn’t always great, neglected at times and almost
forgotten by her parents, her dad works away and her Mum cannot handle being
without him. When their lives change and the truth causes repercussions for all,
Lissa must be the one to find solutions – no matter what it may take.
Lissa trains as a nurse, she works hard because she has
responsibilities, but she hates rude, inconsiderate people. Lissa uses her
intelligence and thirst for knowledge to her advantage; she has a great way at
discovering secrets and those often can reap benefits for her.
I actually quite liked Lissa, she is a murderer, she has done
very bad things but she feels justified in doing so, she is quite outraged by any
suggestion she kills for the love of killing.
The story is fast paced, addictive and dark. You cannot trust
anyone or anything. Added little twists at the end always spice things up when
you think you have it all guessed, I enjoyed that we were still kept on our
toes.
The first time I have read a book by this author but it will
not be the last.
I would like to thank #BoldwoodBooks for my ARC of #TheNurse
in exchange for an honest review.
