Like any good true crime, The Good Nurse combines suspense with grisly detail, coupled with the catharsis of arrest at the end, but Graeber goes above and beyond, with prose that veers into the haunting and by layering in the sinister overtones of the for-profit hospitals desperate to avoid liability--so desperate that they ended up enabling the Angel of Death's sixteen year career. Nominated for an Edgar and featured on many "Best of 2013" lists, this is a great read for newbies to the genre as well as the seasoned readers.Like any good true crime, The Good Nurse combines suspense with grisly detail, coupled with the catharsis of arrest at the end, but Graeber goes above and beyond, with prose that veers into the haunting and by layering in the sinister overtones of…

This book was not only deliciously written, but intricately plotted with a full and vibrant cast of characters. Taylor is always good, but is especially excellent here. The novel is not a slim one--over six hundred pages--but the layered story and the satisfying ending makes it well worth it.This book was not only deliciously written, but intricately plotted with a full and vibrant cast of characters.

Transformative and occasionally heart-breaking, this book is the work of a severely autistic teenager explaining with incredible clarity and maturity what it is like to be a child with autism.

A beautifully penned and vividly imagined retelling of Beauty and the Beast that weaves together Greek myths, a crumbling castle, and a very, very alluring Beast named Ignifex.
