A captivating novel that evokes the haunting echoes of In Cold Blood, The Good Nurse delves into the complex and enigmatic life of Charlie Cullen, a registered nurse who became known as "The Angel of Death" after his arrest in 2003. Far from being a mere mercy killer or a simplistic monster, Cullen was a beloved son, husband, father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. However, his involvement in the deaths of up to 300 patients made him one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Spanning sixteen years and nine hospitals, Cullen's murderous career in the world's most trusted profession is meticulously documented in The Good Nurse. This gripping tale unfolds against the backdrop of madness, offering a chilling account of murder, friendship, and betrayal. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the book paints an incredibly vivid portrait of Cullen's psychosis and the relentless pursuit to bring him to justice. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can lurk within even the most respectable professions and the urgent need for vigilance and transparency in healthcare.
