"Either I abide by my oath, and kill my son. Or I save Zack, and kill an innocent man." Renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Anna Jones is being forced to make a horrendous choice: the life of her patient or the life of her son. Eight-year-old Zack has been abducted and the kidnappers will only give him back if she kills a prestigious patient on the operating table and gets away with it. As parents we always say we’d do anything for our children. But does that include murder? "We are all so blind, thinking that we know who we truly are. It is only pain like this that reveals what we are really capable of." Do No Harm is a book that just screams ‘read me’. I mean, look at that cover! And this nerve-shredding thriller was everything I hoped and more. The premise is every parent’s worst nightmare, blurring the lines of morality as the author examines the question of just how far a parent would go to save their child. It is an impossible dilemma, where whatever you choose you will lose, and the paralysing suspense and outright dread is omnipresent, making you feel everything Anna does. It is unbearably tense at times, particularly in the operating room, as you are kept on a knife-edge, waiting to see what Anna will do and if Zack can be saved. I have long been a fan of Jack Jordan and will automatically read and buy anything he writes. His magnificent storytelling, perfect plotting and sizzling suspense always blow me away, and he is a must-read author for any thriller lover. But with Do No Harm Jordan has taken things to another level, crafting a dynamic thriller that is now one of my favourites of all time. It would make a fantastic movie or TV show so I hope someone snaps it up soon. The hype is real and this is going to be huge. “I never used to think of myself as an angry person, but these men have clawed a rabid animal out of me. I want to kill them, slowly, painstakingly, until they are begging for their mothers." One of my favourite things about this book is that it’s so intricate and multilayered. As well as the moral dilemma there is a strong theme of motherhood woven into this book. Through each of the three narrators we explore different stages of motherhood and opposing arguments to the dilemma, making you confront the many shades of grey and exposing the motivations and biases of each of the characters. Each of them are deeply flawed and I liked that Jordan wasn’t scared to make even Anna unlikeable at times, instead focusing on making the characters complex, nuanced and layered. And while they are all richly drawn and compelling, Anna is the one that stood out strongest to me. I loved the dichotomy of her character: a Doctor who has taken the Hippocratic Oath and vowed to do no harm but also a mother who will do anything to keep her child safe. It is the kind of agonising choice that you would never want to be faced with but is so fascinating to read. Nail-bitingly intense, and bingeable, Do No Harm is an absolute must-read. Just make sure that when you pick it up you’ve got nothing else to do as it will hold you captive from the first page until the last. READ IT NOW.

I loved this book. It was, for me, a quick read. I like the writing style a lot - I was thoroughly immersed in the story and the characters. I like books that grab you and take you away from life while reading. The story was fascinating and, while I have no medical knowledge, seemed to be so well researched which gave it enormous depth. I don’t want to give the end away, so I’ll just say it was excellent and I’ll be rereading soon!

I could not put this book down from the first few pages. One of the best thriller books I have read for a while. Absolutely amazing

Do No Harm blew my mind — and did God knows what to my blood pressure. Boy, this dilemma thriller is TENSE. And moving. And thought-provoking. And twist-and-turn-y. You'll gasp, cry and 'NOOOOOOO!' throughout. Jack Jordan is a brilliant writer: creating a suffocating world you can't bear to escape ('What now?!') and characters you'll love/hate/love/hate again. A fabulously gripping read. Now breathe.

Do No Harm by @jackjordan_author is a mind-blowing unputdownable 5 star read.. They took my son, they gave me a choice kill the patient and my son will live or save the patient and my beloved son dies. I would do absolutely anything possible to save my son, I did what I had to do. Omg I absolutely
