The Good Nurse
by Charles Graeber
Rating: 4.4 #ad
The mesmerizing basis of the movie starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain—a “stunning book…that should and does bring to mind In Cold Blood”—takes you inside the mind of America’s most prolific serial killer, whose 16-year long “nursing” career left as many as 400 dead. (New York Times)
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 favorite son, a husband and beloved father, a best friend and a celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as perhaps as many as 400 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.
When, in March of 2006, Charles Cullen was marched from his final sentencing in an Allentown, Pennsylvania, courthouse into a waiting police van, it seemed certain that the chilling secrets of his life, career, and capture would disappear with him.
