"A entertaining and sad account of how pride, fear of failure, and naive goodwill led to the prolonged career of serial killer Michael Swango. He could be one of the most prolific, possibly killing by poison 60 patients under his care as a doctor. The main theme of the book is not only about him, but how the medical establishment failed numerous times to discover him.
Lyn and I read this book together out loud. It was gripping even if a little over detailed at times which is characteristic of Stewart's books. The details are all significant and build the overall picture of the characters so it is worth persevering even if you at times feel they are irrelevant."
"This was one of those great nonfiction books that reads like a novel, so it's entertaining AND you learn about something! : ) I also enjoyed it b/c I'm in the health care field. But it was a page-turner and I'd recommend it to anyone!"
"This is a story of love and life. No, wait a minute. That's not it at all.
This is the story of Michael Swango, a doctor who got a thrill out of poisoning patients. What's more amazing than the number of people he poisoned (some died, some didn't), was the ineptitude, and negligence of hospital administrators that continued to hire him.
