Totally Immersive
The Nurse by Valerie Keogh is an absolutely marvellous contemporary psychological thriller that I just could not put down.
Valerie Keogh is a fantastic author who draws you into the world of The Nurse with her words. Whilst of questionable motives, the lead character is likable, realistic and elicits feelings of sympathy from the reader. I could recognize myself in her as a child, suffering at the hands of the school bully. We feel shock and horror at the event that left her alone at aged just sixteen.
The leading lady is a blend of vulnerable yet strong; empathetic and downright evil. She seems to have second sight into the character of people but at the crucial moment, it lets her down.
We see the devastation that loss leaves – a character is frozen in time; another sees his daughter everywhere he looks.
Our responses to characters are guided by Valerie Keogh’s marvellous pen. I found it surprising when I did a complete u-turn in my response to a character!
I was completely immersed in the world of The Nurse. It was a totally mesmerizing read, guaranteed to raise your heart rate and leave you with sweaty palms. I can thoroughly recommend it.
I received a free copy via Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
