This is the third book in The Doctor’s Wife series. This book gives us a lot more of Alice’s perspective and she is out for revenge against Fern. Meanwhile both Alice and Fern have new babies and life is not turning out quite how they wanted.

Daniel Hurst is a great writer and I have loved this series, but this feels like it’s come to its natural end here. Satisfying conclusion.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and the author for the advance reader copy. This is my honest review. Publication date Dec 6, 2023

This addictive psychological thriller expertly examines the complex interplay between a wife, a mistress, and the dangerous pursuit of revenge.

Hurst skillfully builds an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue from the very beginning, pulling readers into the tangled web of the story. The well-crafted plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns, ensuring that readers will be thoroughly engaged and guessing until the final revelations.

The character development in "The Doctor's Mistress" is noteworthy, particularly in the portrayal of the mistress and Fern, the doctor's wife. The complexities of their motivations and the psychological battle between them add depth and intensity to the narrative. The mistress's determination to protect her child and expose the truth while staying one step ahead of Fern creates a gripping dynamic that propels the story forward.

The writing style is gripping and immersive, easily conveying the suspense and tension throughout the book. The pacing is well-maintained, with a perfect balance between moments of reflection and heart-pounding action. Hurst's ability to keep readers captivated and invested in the characters and their fates is a testament to the author's skill.

This is the 3rd book in “The Doctor’s Wife” series.
Daniel Hurst has continued to entertain the reader with this latest installment!

Two women, each with a baby daughter, both guilty of egregious crimes, are back again.
Fern, is the murderous wife of the doctor, and
Alice is the mistress of the same man.
In this latest episode, we find Fern, evading the police,while living an anonymous life under a new identify, and Alice, still in pursuit of Fern to get justice. Both women are struggling to raise infant daughters, likely fathered by the same man, the doctor, who is deceased.
The search for the criminal, Fern, ensues, until the unlikely ending of this story!

As is true of all Daniel Hurst’s books, this is another engaging, well written story, with insight into the emotional traumas each character has suffered.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in return for my honest review.
5 stars

A brilliant series with so many twists and turns, but book three ties up all the loose ends. Well done Daniel Hurst for another great read.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in return for an honest review - I loved it !!

This is book 3 in The Doctor's Wife. I read the first 2 to get a better idea of the characters and events that place before.

This book could probably be read as a standalone but it really was a long epilogue about what happened after book 2.

I didn't love it! I love a good epilogue and this could probably been shortened and added to book 2. It was good to read about how everyone was doing and whether Fern was going to pay for what she did but there wasn't a lot of twists. The part with Alice's friend was so random!
I would definitely read the first two then read this one if you want more info on what happens next. The ending was surprising to me. I couldn't have done what Alice did but I get why she did it at the same time.

I’ve only recently discovered Daneil’s novels and it’s like Christmas!! He has such a fluid writing style and his novels are easy to read. That being said they are well written, with good plots and characters. This one was a 3rd in a series and I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved the third book in the doctors wife series: fast paced, amazing back story and characters. I would highly recommend this series.

I have read and enjoyed several of Daniel’s books and this is no exception. I like his style of writing, easy to read but still as gripping. The characters are likeable and a good plot. I highly recommend this book and author. If you are new to this author try his books out, you won’t be disappointed.

The Doctor's Mistress is book 3 in The Doctor's Wife series by Daniel Hurst and it’s just as good as the first two.
It was so gripping, clever and thrilling. This book had me hooked from the first page with its gripping storyline and surprising twists.
The characters are intriguing and very entertaining. The pace flows well, the plot was addictive and the characters certainly kept you guessing.
I found this to more of domestic drama but every bit of a thrilling read.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.

Unfamiliar with Daniel Hurst, I came across “The Doctor's Mistress” on NetGalley and was immediately intrigued by the description. Being the third installment in the series, I promptly purchased the first two books. I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys a captivating murder mystery evolving into a tale of revenge does the same. The first book “The Doctor’s Wife” impressed me, while the second “The Doctor's Widow” was my least favorite of the three. However, “The Doctor's Mistress” brought the entire story to a satisfying conclusion.

It's challenging to provide a synopsis without revealing details from the first two books. The author's diligent research and storytelling skills kept me guessing and craving more throughout the series. I highly recommend this 5-star book and will be exploring other works by this author.

I want to express my gratitude to Bookouture, Daniel Hurst, and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to delve into this ARC and share my honest review.

I enjoyed this book! The characters were well developed and the storyline was engaging. I recommend that others read this book as well, especially if they enjoy a good thriller.

Thanks to NetGalley I received a copy of this book before its release. And of course it didnt disappoint. I find Daniel Hurst's books are riveting and a page turner. And this one did not disappoint and even surprised me at the end. We follow the doctors wife, Fern and the doctors mistress, Alice and the events that bring them together and the frustration of vengence and the situation both women find themselves in.

While following one woman I really though I knew what she was going to do, but was surprised at the end....maybe there will be a Book 4....we will see. If you havent read book #1 and #2 yet, get started because this book gets released on Dec. 6.

If you have read The Doctor's Wife and The Doctor's Widow, you most definitely need to read the conclusion book The Doctor's Mistress.

A weave of lies, twists, turns and craziness makes this book just as good as the other two. As much as i dont like characters they make the story very dramatic. A good conclusion to this series.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture.

The Doctor’sMistress
By: Daniel Hurst

Absolutely the perfect ending to this series. I loved The Doctor’s Wife and The Doctors Widow!

Fern is on the run with her baby Cecelia after the women whom was in jail for Drew’s murder is set free. Fern and Alice’s husband murdered her husband Doctor Drew Devlin. fern has left a path of destruction.

Alice the mistress who also has a baby, Evelyn by Fern’s husband is set free. The detective who put Alice in prison is now in a relationship with her and helping her raise her baby.

Alice is suffering from depression and is out for revenge. She wants to find Fern but it won’t be easy. Fern has a new identity.

This psychological thriller is addictive and fast paced. Reading my way the rough Hurst novels. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the series, The Doctor's Wife. Here we have the doctor's mistress who is relentless in her need for revenge against the doctor's wife for her crimes. They are both in very different circumstances from the last time they saw each other. This third in the series is every bit as entertaining and twisty as the first two!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

No surprise that I loved this book, I always love any book by Daniel Hurst, I was a great addition to the other Doctor’s Wife books, loved that the story continued and again, was full of surprises. Such a great story.

3.5

Honestly, I had to knock .5 of a star off because it annoyed me that Fran didn't have to face the consequences for what she did. Apart from that I really enjoyed this book. Like with any of Daniel's books it's fast paced and easy to read. The characters really weren't very likeable in this book (I got really irritated with Alice on several occasions), but it made for good reading. I'm sure we won't have to wait much longer for Mr. Hurst's next book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this. I am sooooo happy Daniel Hurst made this into a trilogy! The first two books were amazing, and this one did not disappoint! And of course there was the twist which I love at the end!

I received an ARC from Netgalley! I just discovered Daniel Hurst after being part of a Freida McFadden facebook group. I loved the first two books in the doctor series and was beyond excited to receive the third book before it was published. This book has both Fern and Alice's point of view as well as a third character. There are new (and old!) secondary characters in this book, and I thought they were very developed as characters and really added to the enjoyment and twists of the story. I don't want to say too much more (no spoilers!) but I was completely satisfied with this third book. It flowed so well and kept my attention! Since I haven't read other books by Daniel Hurst outside of this series, I plan on reading his other books!

𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐩. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞? 𝐎𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬?

This is the third and probably final installment in The Doctor's Wife series, and I would recommend you read the first two before starting this one. This is the final showdown between Fern, the doctor's wife, and Alice, the doctor's mistress. The chapters alternate points of view with both women and Detective Tomlin, which brings some depth to the story.

The entire book is one big cat and mouse game, crafted with an intense plot and filled with desperate characters. What started out as a revenge thriller quickly turns into something else...because the doctor now has a daughter, and her mother will do anything to keep her safe, even if that means sacrificing her own freedom.

I'm being vague on some other details, but if you've read the first two books, you NEED this satisfying installment that truly surprised me with its unexpected ending. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this early read. This book will publish December 6, 2023.
