The Good Nurse

The Good Nurse (2013) by Charles Graeber. This book tells the story of Charles Cullen, a serial killer who used his  position as a nurse to kill uncounted victims by injecting the wrong medications into their IV lines. While it's a true story, it lacks sharpness in nailing down sources and presenting facts. I felt like I was reading an abstract description of what Cullen had done. It's not until the police detectives enter the story, late in the book, that the tale really comes alive. So while this was a fairly interesting book, it lacked the punch that I've found in other true-crime tomes. Grade: B
