Lloyd Billingsley

This was an interesting high profile case and not far from my home.
Beloved nurse, Elizabeth Wettlaufer, gets away with killing 8 patients and attempting numerous others at different facilities yet no one has a clue. Granted, she doesn’t use the more expected methods.
I was a little floored by her mother stating “that the police wouldn’t have known anything if she hadn’t told them”. True, but is she to get a gold star for confessing? Did he mother not get the magnitude of what she had done?
Different times while reading, I almost wished she hadn’t said anything - the anguish all those loved ones experienced thinking their loved ones died from natural causes and then finding out that their deaths were not peaceful or pain free and having to grieve all over again with a multitude of emotions. Although probably if she hadn’t confessed, she may not have stopped either. We will never know, but it’s so unfortunate and heartbreaking that the families had to find out.
I did find it odd that due to privacy issues, they were unable to say what prison she was in since that definitely isn’t much of a secret.
So the case itself is of interest, but the writing put me off a little, mainly because I found it to be very repetitive. It wasn’t a long book as it was, but could have been even shorter without the repetition. Just an ok read for me… (meer)
