Om boken:
"A stunning book... that should and does bring to mind In Cold Blood... the story appeals to prurient interests, as does any graphic tale of true crime, but The Good Nurse succeeds in being about much more than Mr Cullen's murderous kinks.... the eagerness of ambitious hospital administrators to cover up his misdeeds is revelatory. And the police investigation that brought him down is a thriller in every sense of that word.' --Janet Maslin, New York Times
Charles Cullen is thought to be responsible for the deaths of as many as 400 patients during his career as a nurse... His crimes are outlined in The Good Nurse, an absorbing tale that's simultaneously terrifying and barely credible.... A standout true-crime book, one that doubles as both a thrilling horror story and a cautionary tale --Boston Globe
The most terrifying book published this year. It is also one of the most thoughtful... The Good Nurse is gripping, sad, suspenseful, rhythmic and beautifully documented (the endnotes to this book are impressive). --Kirkus Reviews
Graeber doesn't pull punches... A deeply unsettling addition to the true crime genre. --Publishers Weekly
