Charles Graeber's new e book The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medication, Madness, and Homicide has the sort of subtitle you anticipate to see on those pulpy true crime books on the grocery retailer. However Graeber's debut stands out from those predictable books; it's considerate and multi-layered, with an incantatory prose model. Graeber is fascinated by how nurse Charles Cullen, the serial killer at the heart of the story, acquired away with murdering sufferers on a whim. You read The Good Nurse disgusted by Cullen's potential to repeatedly elude capture and though Graeber has exhaustive endnotes documenting each facet of his investigation, you do not want to imagine that the occasions he reveals really occurred. We love books that make us really feel like we're reading a suspenseful, slash-and-burn true crime paperback however that possess a depth, insight and style which can be memorable. Name it literary true crime, name it what you want, but contemplate us followers of the books on this week's listing that handle to drag it off.
