Perfect Poison: A Female Serial Killer's Deadly Medicine by M. William PhelpsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is about Kristen Gilbert, a former nurse and an American serial killer who was convicted of four murders and two attempted murders of patients admitted to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in Northampton, Massachusetts. Quite possibly she took the lives of many others after starting out offing the family pets. Possible, she is the most prolific American female serial killer, or at least in the top ten.
I have seen several reviews complain about the length of this book. The chapters being on average about two pages makes for a lot white space and it is an easy read; felt like reading a typical 300-page book, to me.
The back cover talks about "shocking photos", but the picture section has nothing more shocking than a pre-exhumation grave site.
Michael Baden is all over this as a forensic investigator essential in determining cause of death..
