Publisher's description
Till death do us part…

After leaving her marriage to jealous, possessive oncologist Maxwell, Lily and her six-year-old son have a second chance at happiness with headteacher Sebastian. Kind but vulnerable, Sebastian is the polar opposite of Maxwell, and the perfect match for Lily. After a whirlwind romance, they marry, and that’s when things start to go wrong…
Maxwell returns to the scene, determined to win back his family, and events soon spiral out of control. Lily and Sebastian find themselves not only fighting for their relationship, but also their lives…

My verdict
Do No Harm is a dark tale of obsessive behaviour. One of those psychological thrillers where I couldn't decide whether or not I'd sussed it out until I'd reached the end - and no, I'm not going to reveal whether I did or not. Ha ha.

As expected from Orenda's books, Do No Harm is of high quality, from the words on the page to the eye-catching cover. I read a lot of psychological thrillers and often struggle to find ones that grip me all the way through - Do No Harm certainly kept me engrossed from beginning to end. The sharp dialogue, great characterisation and twisty plotting kept the book moving at a fast pace. Lucy V Hay writes with confidence and authority, her vivid descriptions leaping out of the page into my head while her multilayering played with my mind.

Do No Harm is filled with several heart-stopping moments and evil characters. The author lulls you in with a false sense of security. But then the tension and suspense escalate, gradually building up to a final crescendo. And as for that ending... what a shocker!

This book is going to fly sky high! If you haven't bought it yet, what are you waiting for?
