The Night Nurse and the Jewel Thief is a very funny, fast-paced story with quirky characters. Two who are very different people with very different personalities, values and lifestyles although they seem to have similar taste for 007 meet under very strange circumstances and must come together somehow to get out of a very messy and I mean that literally, situation. Who would have thought being a night nurse could almost kill you!
Nancy Norman is having a bad time. Her house exploded leaving her and her beloved cat Dr. GoldenPaws homeless. The good news was that her ex-husband’s car was ruined. The bad news besides being left homeless with practically no money is that Dr. GoldenPaws was hurt but recovering.
As she moves into an apartment complex with her cat, Nancy, a nurse decides it’s time to retire. But she, her cat and her glue gun (she loves to bejewel) realize quickly she’s not really interested in pickleball and gossip. She envies her ex who is now living THEIR dream of traveling and enjoying life.
So, when she receives a call asking if she would like to work one night shift for an excentric billionaire who is in a coma she hesitates, but when the price goes up, she decides why not? She will have enough money to do a little of the traveling she dreams of. How hard could a job giving meds to a man in a coma be?
Well, unfortunately for Nancy the night turns into a nightmare. The compound is burglarized and the thieves seem to know what they are doing, looking for a stash of precious sapphires worth a great deal of money and trying to destroy the work empire of a man in a coma. Suddenly she is in for the fight of her life trying to get out alive with one of the robbers, (although he is pretty cute) and avoiding the other misfits who are it seems former business associates of the mansion owner.
As Nancy’s fear turns into anger at the situation, she decides to go on the offensive and teach them all a few lessons. She’s had a look at the caviar and champagne life, and she wants to get out alive!
The Night Nurse and the Jewel Thief is a humorous cozy with a James Bond theme. I personally couldn’t get enough of GHOST. You’ll see! He needs his own backstory!
