Description
Coming to Netflix this fall starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain—a “stunning book...that should and does bring to mind In Cold Blood” and 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, 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. 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. Now, in a riveting piece of investigative journalism nearly ten years in the making, journalist Charles Graeber presents the whole story for the first time. Based on hundreds of pages of previously unseen police records, interviews, wire-tap recordings and videotapes, as well as exclusive jailhouse conversations with Cullen himself and the confidential informant who helped bring him down, The Good Nurse weaves an urgent, terrifying tale of murder, friendship, and betrayal.
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 a penetrating look inside America's medical system. Harrowing and irresistibly paced, this book will make you look at medicine, hospitals, and the people who work in them, in an entirely different way.

Good true story
Narrator a bit boring. The voice changing is strange. Overall an interesting story and throughout I forget that it’s actually real.

Great narrator!
Will does an excellent job of narrating this book. There's no changing tones of voice which was so pleasant! It's straight reading which is how it should be. The story is good, concise, moves along at a good pace & well researched. It amazed me that a killer would keep going & not get caught sooner. With every job I thought he would be caught & he wasn't! This was a great listen to & I would recommend it. Thank you, Charles Graeber for telling this story.

Very interesting listen. Hard to believe that this person was allowed to continue killing for such a long time.

Well written
I enjoyed this tale except for some of the graphic descriptions of suffering, albeit legitimate. Quite something the actions of the culprit.
I recommend it if like me you enjoy non-fiction.

Bravo to both narrator and author
I cannot praise Charles Graeber or Will Collyer enough for this work. Extensively researched, but not once boring, this is the perfect non-fiction. Interesting, immersive, and enthralling, this audiobook conveyed an unbelievable amount of information in the most riveting way.
