Publisher's summary

The award-winning true-crime account of a Danish nurse accused of killing her patients—now a Netflix miniseries starring Josephine Park.

In the early hours of March 1, 2015, Danish police received an alarming call from a nurse at a provincial hospital. She suspected her colleague, fellow nurse Christina Aistrup Hansen, of deliberately killing patients—and she feared it had just happened again. Soon, other coworkers revealed their own concerns about Hansen. Indeed, some had been harboring suspicions about her for years . . .

So why had no one come forward sooner? And with the alleged victims already cremated, where was the evidence? Could this all be a case of small-town gossip snowballing out of control? Drawing on police and autopsy reports, medical records, private correspondence, and testimony from key witnesses—as well as Hansen herself—Danish journalist Kristian Corfixen reconstructs the fateful night shift in which three patients died under mysterious circumstances, and the sensational trial it set in motion.

Originally published in Denmark, Corfixen’s acclaimed investigation of a disturbingly complex case raises critical concerns about the trust we put in our caretakers, and the role of indicative evidence in criminal courts.

overall this is good.. except..

As a dane I knew of this case already and followed the trial back then.
What baffles me is that this narrator didn't even try to pronounce Danish names/ locations correctly. Just yikes.
Anyway, the book is good, the narration less so.
I'm sure it's less cringy if you're not Danish.

Extremely exciting and well-written

I would recommend this book to everybody who likes the true crime genre. It is a compelling and disturbing read about a nurse in Denmark who is suspected of deliberately killing patients. Often I had to remind myself that I wasn't reading fiction and that just makes the story so much more frightening. Very well-written, gripping and suspenseful.

The research behind this book seems super thorough and ss a reader you feel part of the investigation and right there alongside the investigators as they try to solve the mystery which I really liked.

So did she kill them and why? Why go to 12 years if she is guilty
