The good nurse

In my opinion, The Good Nurse is one of those thriller-style true crime books. Perhaps that's because I listened to the audiobook, and this was while I was also reading a huge stack of children's and middle grade books for Believathon. Honestly, I understand the comparison to Truman Capote's writing style. It's clear the author's writing was heavily influenced by In Cold Blood. Now I loved In Cold Blood, so this didn't quite measure up to the bar Capote set in my mind. However, I still think the author accomplished something similar, at least when you listen to the book. I couldn't stop listening and finished it in less than two days. I found it gripping and chilling. I really appreciated the additional perspectives too. Truthfully, there could have been more analysis, but overall it was worth the read. I'll probably read it physically in the future to see if I have the same problems other reviewers had with the writing and grammar. It's definitely a different experience when you listen to a true crime story, and I'm curious if I would rate it the same.
