Pretty crazy to think a nurse can get away with murdering so many people and for it to take so long to be discovered..

I have mixed feelings about this book. It was interesting, and the first half of the book kept me hooked. I liked the way the author wrote about Charlie and his time as a nurse.
That being said, I had kind of a hard time finishing the book. I think the author copied recordings too closely during the investigation parts of the book. The dialogue could have been cut back to make the story easier to read - I don't need to know every time a speaker stumbled over words or paused. I didn't love the random descriptions of Amy that didn't really seem necessary to the story, and I didn't like how the author randomly called people by different names.
Overall, it was still an interesting story.

Uhhhh this was a friggen wild story!! Honestly I tell people about this all the time and they’ve NEVER heard of this dude.
The TV show has spread awareness, but it’s so important (I can speak as a healthcare worker and family member of people in the system) to advocate, ask questions, and speak up if you get a feeling something is wrong. It may be nothing, an innocent mistake, or you might just stop a serial killer.

Started off great, then the whole book was just on repeat. I couldn't even finish half of the book before I gave up. I've never left a book unfinished. This book made me fall out of love with reading for some time.

Could not put this down. Haunting. Disturbing. One of the best true crime books I’ve ever read because it was so well written and compelling.

just halfway through this and already massively freaked out about how EASILY this guy keeps getting new jobs at other hospitals. nobody cares to ask specifically WHY he was fired from his previous jobs? he's going to hold people's lives in his hands and you're just willing to hire him, no questions asked? i find this terrifying!
update: finished it and still terrified.
