How well do we know the people around us

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this from NetGalley - I had planned to read it slowly, the subject matter being so tense and raw that I thought it would be easier to read in small doses - I was wrong! I got completely swept up in the story - not breathing in parts as another thread unravelled to reveal a secret. I don’t want to post any spoilers - but this book goes beyond the fear women feel walking alone - down into the darkness of the Incel forums. A daughter missing, a marriage falling apart, how well do we know the people we interact with? Another fabulous read from Claire Allan.

I have been waiting for the release of this book for what seems like forever. It hasn't disappointed. It would be easy to devour it in one sitting but I've had to remind myself to take breaks as I wanted to enjoy every word. Claire Allan has an uncanny way of bringing you right into the story no matter what character she is writing about. I've said this before about her books but I always seem to be holding my breath as I read further and further into the story. She never fails to hold your attention..not so much hold but her stories demand your attention. I could write accolades all day about this author but until you read this you won't know just how fabulous she is. I'm sitting here now deflated as I know I have to wait for her next book and have no idea when she will release again. Read this book if you haven't read any of her previous work. I guarantee you will be hooked. I am.

Deserves to be a massive bestseller!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2022

Verified Purchase

As soon as I heard the premise for this book, I knew I had to read it. "The Nurse" is a captivating psychological thriller which thoroughly engaged me. I couldn't put it down! Claire Allan has really pulled out all the stops with this one. She cleverly, subtly, challenges our perceptions around who is a victim worthy of public sympathy. She also shows us how easily people can become radicalised online.

"The Nurse" explores the very real, very dangerous, culture of Incels. If you don't know what that means, you're in for the shock of your life. I urge you to read the Author's Note at the end for context, and I also highly recommend Laura Bates's work of non-fiction on the subject, entitled "Men Who Hate Women". Allan has used fiction to explore a hugely important (and little understood) issue in a way that is engaging and gripping. I hope this book is a massive bestseller. It deserves to be.

A blinking good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2022

This was my first chance to read Claire Allan. I really got involved as a staunch feminist, the behaviour of those misogynists alarmed me as it took on a real life quality. The dark recesses of the Internet are laid bare as damaged individuals swarm over evil content. My heart was in my mouth all the way, and as a mum I felt the pain of the mother who was so scared of never seeing her daughter again. I thought the interplay between the family, the police, and the journalist was carefully and cleverly scripted. I read this book in one go, my body echoing the intense emotions played out by the main characters. I'll be looking for more books by Claire Allan, the hunt is on!

Thought provoking thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I had this book on pre-order from November having read all Claire Allan's previous books in this genre and was excited to read this when released in March. It didn't disappoint.
The book centres on the incel movement, which I must admit I had never heard of before, and the story is told from 3 points of view, Nell, the Nurse, Marian, Nell's mother and Him, the incel catalyst for what befell Nell.
It was a very uncomfortable read at times when reading the Him chapters as his attitudes and actions are truly incomprehensible but at the same time you know that these misogynistic attitudes are alive and well in our real lives, which makes the story much more worryingly believable.
The story starts with Him posting videos on the dark Web of him following women menacingly without any physical actions, but leaving women frightened and scared. He revels in the power of seeing how afraid he makes women, who he thinks have stripped men of their masculinity and sets a hashtag #Ihavethepower on his posts. This quickly escalates on the incel forum he belongs to and he enjoys the notoriety and the 'likes' and many followers he gets.
The story builds with the the death of a young woman with connections to Nell and the race is on to find her before she suffers the same fate.
The conclusion of the story surprised me in that I felt more could've been done to show that men, who perpetrate this type of crime against women, are publicly brought to justice.
The story will be with me for a long time and I have to admit to checking behind myself when out walking, even in daylight!

I read it in two sittings. I'd have devoured it in one if life hadn't have got in the way! I lack the eloquence to express how superb the storyline is, but truly once I put it down I couldn't stop thinking about the characters and their respective fates. I kept guessing the whole way to the end what the outcome would be. A mighty read from start to finish and I look forward to what Claire Allan released next!

WOW. Could not put this book down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2022

Excellent read. The reviews caught my eye, I thought I’d purchase this book for some nighttime reading when I’m bored - before I knew it. I was reading into 2/3am. I didn’t want to put the book down. I woke a few times over the two nights with the kindle in my hand, determined to finish it. Truly remarkable from start to finish. Proper Irish lingo in it too, I loved it.
Claire Allan books definitely be purchasing more in the future 🙌🏼
