My Review
I was so excited to join this tour. I had been seeing this book everywhere for good reason. I could easily see this made into a series or movie.
It opens with a heart surgeon learning her son has been kidnapped and to see him again she must kill a prestigious patient on the operating table. While this might seem like it was done before, trust me it will keep you guessing. The story unravels through the eyes of the surgeon, a nurse who assists her during the operation and a detective investigating the death of the surgeon’s neighbor. All three women are relatable with flaws that make them real and compelling.
I thought it went a smidge away from reality towards the end or I would have given it five stars. But know when you pick it up, you’ll not want to put it down.
About the author
Jack Jordan is the global bestselling author of Anything for Her, My Girl, A Woman Scorned, Before Her Eyes, and Night by Night and an Amazon No.1 bestseller in the UK, Canada, and Australia. After selling at auction in the UK and numerous foreign territories, Do No Harm is set to be the thriller of the summer in 2022. The idea for Do No Harm came to Jack after undergoing a minor medical procedure where he had to be sedated and trust strangers with his welfare. After the anaesthesia wore off, Jack began scribbling his notes, wondering to himself just how iron-clad a surgeon’s oath is, and what it would take to break it…
