Summary

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.

  • This book delves into the story of a nurse who possesses psychopathic tendencies...I had expected the narrator to invest time in accurately pronouncing medical terms, and I had hoped the editor would ensure precision. To my surprise, the abbreviation "dig" for the drug Digoxin was used extensively throughout the book, at a conservative estimate of over 200 times. Unfortunately, the narrator mispronounced the abbreviation "dig" as if it were related to digging a hole, whereas it should sound like "DIJ" since it corresponds to the first three letters of Digoxin. Initially, this may not have bothered me as much, but given the frequency of its usage, it became increasingly challenging to stay engaged with the story. Speaking of which, the narrative merely recounts the gruesome activities of a vile individual who masquerades as a nurse and derives pleasure from killing people. I had hoped to gain insights into the perpetrator's mindset, yet all I found was the author rehashing a news article and injecting subjective "feelings" that were largely speculative. This book was undeniably disappointing, and I will be returning it.
