"A gripping look into a killer's mind...THE GOOD NURSE is as
suspenseful as any crime novel."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A literary thriller with legs... Meticulously crafted... a book
that demonstrates the transportive power of literary journalism
while simultaneously helping to restore its credibility."--The
Brooklyn Rail
"A remarkable new book...gripping and brilliantly
written."--Healthcare Risk Management Review
"A standout true-crime book, one that doubles as both a thrilling
horror story and a cautionary tale, and frightens and frustrates in
equal measure."--The Boston Globe
"A stunning book...that should and does bring to mind In Cold
Blood....the story appeals to prurient interests, as does any
graphic tale of true crime. But THE GOOD NURSE succeeds in being
about much more than Mr. Cullen's murderous kinks. The causes of
his pathology are not interesting. But the eagerness of ambitious
hospital administrators to cover up his misdeeds is revelatory. And
the police investigation that brought him down is a thriller in
every sense of that word."--Janet Maslin, New York Times
"A very scary book. It will reach out and grab you and not let you
go. You will forgo food, talking, work, anything just to get to the
climactic moment of this true crime story."--Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
"Absolutely frightening."--The Detroit News
"Alarming"--CNN.com
"Distinctive...Fascinating."--The Columbus Dispatch
"Engrossing...hard-to-put-down.. On one level, The Good Nurse is an
absorbing story of a serial killer operating within the walls of
what most view as a trusted institution. On another, it's an
intriguing detective story. And on another it's an indictment of
the hospital industry."--The New Jersey Star-Ledger
"Fascinating and frightening... A scary page turner about one man's
quiet reign of terror, those dedicated and brave enough to end it,
and the dangers that can lurk in the places we may feel safest.
"--BookReporter
"Graeber doesn't pull punches... A deeply unsettling addition to
the true crime genre."--Publishers Weekly
"Gripping."--The San Francisco Chronicle
"Put this one on the shelf next to Ann Rule's classic about Ted
Bundy, The Stranger Beside Me - it's that good. Grade: A"
--Entertainment Weekly
"Riveting"--People
"The most terrifying book published this year. It is also one of
the most thoughtful.... From a long series of conversations with
Cullen, the detectives who solved the case and Amy, a nurse who
once was Cullen's best friend and eventually got him to confess,
among many other sources, Graeber has crafted a book that is a
revelation. THE GOOD NURSE is gripping, sad, suspenseful, rhythmic
and beautifully documented (the endnotes to this book are
impressive)."--Kirkus Reviews
"The story is consistently incredible, but credit it you must, for
it is the truth... I couldn't put this book down."--PopMatters
