A gripping psychological thriller set in the high-stakes world of A&E from Sunday Times bestselling author Christie Watson
'Compelling, moving, incredibly funny, brilliantly disturbing, yet filled with so much humanity'
Joanna Cannon
'Eye-opening, jaw-dropping, spell-binding'
M J Arlidge
'A deliciously dark, twisty, funny novel inhabited by a gloriously complex cast of harassed, heroic and haunted nurses'
John Sutherland
'Thrilling as a murder mystery, beautifully written, it grabs you by the heart and refuses to let go'
Charlie Gilmour
Unexpected deaths and untoward incidents are becoming alarmingly frequent at City Emergency Department. A&E Senior Sister, Aoife, begins to question whether her new nurses are incompetent - or worse. Earnest recruit Eden cares deeply for her patients and carries the Code of Conduct around in her pocket, reporting everyone whose views don't align with hers. But despite her self-righteousness, Eden keeps making mistakes. Is she dangerous?
It is Sophie who worries Aoife the most. Acerbic, over-confident and seemingly lacking in empathy, how Sophie ever became a nurse is beyond her. When Sophie begins an affair with Aoife's best friend, Michael, a man twenty-five years her senior, tensions escalate further, threatening to eclipse the fact that lives are at stake.
Aoife is the nurse we'd all want. Compassionate to the core. She's the nicest, kindest nurse in the world. Until she is tested to the limit . . .
Fearless, fast-paced and darkly funny, Killing Me Softly is a jaw-dropping novel about the hidden extremes of nursing and three complex women who hold the lives of their patients - and each other - in their hands.
