Publisher's Summary
After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed 'The Angel of Death' by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favourite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver.
Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history. Cullen's murderous career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years and nine hospitals across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Investigative journalist Charles Graeber's portrait of Cullen depicts a surprisingly intelligent and complicated young man whose promising career was overwhelmed by his compulsion to kill, and whose shy demeanor masked a twisted interior life hidden even to his family and friends.
Were it not for the hardboiled, unrelenting work of two former Newark homicide detectives racing to put together the pieces of Cullen's professional past, and a fellow nurse willing to put everything at risk, including her job and the safety of her children, there's no telling how many more lives could have been lost.
In the tradition of In Cold Blood, The Good Nurse does more than chronicle Cullen's deadly career and the breathless efforts to stop him; it paints an incredibly vivid portrait of madness and offers an urgent, terrifying tale of murder, friendship and betrayal.

Great Medical Murder Book
I really enjoyed this book. I don’t think I’ve gone a few chapters without say ‘wtf’ out loud at some of the things I heard in this book.

Chilling.
This book is one I could hardly put down other than to allow me to sleep at night as it was truly terrifying hearing this tragic true story of abuse, neglect & ultimately murder that I will not soon forget.
Cannot wait for the film now too as even more excited to see how Eddie Redmayne brings this calculating predator into scrubs again.
Incredible. 👍🏼👍🏼 #fivestars

Interesting story - not a fan of the narrator's style
The story is fascinating and I wanted to keep listening but I didn't like the way the narrator put on female voices. It grated on me. I would have prefered another voice actor to perform the female voices or just for the narrator to keep his voice the same pitch. It took away from the story.

Great book
Great book.
Only one small negative- when the narrator was doing the voices of the characters, particularly the women, was pretty annoying.

Opinion of a Trained Nurse of 50 years
An absolutely incredible unbelievable story of true evil. One can’t imagine what made this man into such a monster without remorse. Couldn’t stop listening to it… one of the best books I have ever read or listened to Written in such an interesting manner and read very well. Enjoyed immensely Recommend strongly to listen to
