My Review:
I’ve been a huge fan of this author’s first two books so I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book and have had the beautiful special edition on pre-order for months.
Do No Harm is another exceptional thriller from this author which gripped me from the first page. I found the book so hard to put down as the fast pace and tension never lets up. Kids were bribed to be quiet, housework ignored as I desperately tried to read just one more chapter.
The story is told from three different points of view. Anna the surgeon, Margot the operating assistant and Rachel the police detective. It was interesting to learn more about the women and their lives as the story develops. I liked Anna who I really felt for as it’s a truly terrible situation she finds herself in. Her panic and doubt is almost palpable at times and I often felt like I was her at times as I thought I could feel what she was thinking. I found myself wondering what I’d do in this situation. As a mother I think I’d do anything to save my children but would I think differently if I was a surgeon under oath? I don’t think so but I found the arguments Anna has with herself over it very thought provoking. Rachel was another great character and I enjoyed following her investigations alongside Anna’s story. I wasn’t so keen on Margot though as I felt she had got into a silly situation and could have done more to help herself. I was however very intrigued to see how she fitted into the story and the role she would play.
Overall, as you can probably tell, I really enjoyed this book. It was a fantastically plotted, thoroughly gripping read with lots of fabulous twists that kept me guessing. Some of the surgical descriptions are quite gruesome but I thought they helped make the story seem more realistic and the situation Anna finds herself in more sinister. The ending was absolutely breathtaking and I found myself reading faster and faster as everything was revealed.
