Canada's Serial Killer Nurse Tells All "I had been killing people using an insulin overdose, okay." That's what registered nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer told her friends, her pastor, and her doctors. On October 5, 2016, in Woodstock, Ontario, she told the police all about it. World War II veteran James Silcox was "the first one to die as a result of what I did." After killing him with an insulin overdose, the nurse went home and played computer games. "The doctor wants you to have your vitamin shot," the nurse told Maurice Granat before administering the insulin overdose that killed him. After giving Helen Matheson her blueberry pie, nurse Wettlaufer overdosed the woman. "After I did it, I got that laughter," she told police, and she laughed when Helen died. Nurse Wettlaufer told Mary Zurawinski the injection was "for pain" but it killed her as intended. And after getting the news, nurse Wettlaufer departed on a Caribbean cruise. As the nurse told police, Gladys Millard took longer to die than some others. "Take your medicine," the registered nurse told Arpad Horvath as she injected the insulin overdose that killed him. Nurse Wettlaufer also told police she killed Maureen Pickering and Helen Young. She told police how, when and why she killed her victims. The nurse told police she attempted to kill at least four others, and that she never "got caught." What would be the serial killer's penalty for inflicting so much death and suffering?

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 (
