Absolutely brilliant!💯👏🏽 narration OUTSTANDING 👏🏽👏🏽

Having been a nurse I know that she is truly GUILTY!💯 I feel so sorry for her parents and especially for pernille😞 i can only imagine how hard it is for her with other nurses being nasty to her. Nurses can be bitches. Christina should get LIFE and it mean life!! She is EVIL, no doubt about it. This isn’t normal what all happened on her shifts. She has so many signs of lots of mental problems. She should never be allowed to have her daughter on her own ever again either. She is 100% a MURDERER! Thank god she doesn’t want to ever do nursing again!!! 🙏🏽 She thinks she was superwoman on the ward and there are lots like her. There should be way more checks before allowed to get into nursing, its way too easy. It was NOT gossip, it was way more than that for SURE!! Christina would be better a prostitute than working in a hospital!! She should consider that line of work as this time she will get paid instead of working for free🤔 she sounds evil and vile!!💯💯💯 brilliant book, brilliant narration! Thank you all involved. Highly recommend!💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️xx

Chilling

This is a well researched and well written account of the murder of patients carried out by Christina Airstrup Hansen, a nurse at a provincial Danish hospital. She murdered or tried to murder patients who were under her care. Having closely followed the case of Lucy Letby (the British nurse who killed at least seven premature babies in the neonatal unit of a Chester hospital) I was interested in how similar they were although the Danish nurse did not kill babies. Their behaviour was very similar, however, in portraying a very efficient and caring nurse who apparently always remained very calm and in control when their patients became seriously unwell and needed resuscitation. They were both admired for their nursing skills whilst all the while killing their patients. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in True Crime.

Don't go to Denmark!

Or you could end up in a hospital and if you get killed by a crazy nurse not much will happen. The killer in this book is one of the most narcissistic killers I have ever heard about and its unbelievable to realise she will be released soon and able to utter the nonsense she is innocent as a free person.

Where I a Dane, I would feel so ashamed about how the legal system works in Denmark and even more how the healthcare system reacts to a killing nurse. Glad I am not a Dane, won't go there after listening to this..

Good story though

Interesting

Very well read, great narration. Just the right amount of detail to a very interesting and horrific crime, well worth listening to.

Fascinating in-depth Scandi true crime

Despite all the brilliant crime fiction coming out of Denmark and Scandinavia as a whole, I’m guilty of thinking of these countries as being very peaceful and non-dramatic in real life. This story put those assumptions to shame though. This true story of a nurse who may or may not have killed her patients, sent shockwaves through Denmark and I can see why. It’s truly terrifying to think that your family members could be at risk in the place where they should feel the safest.

The author’s research seems super thorough and as a reader you really feel part of the investigation – the perfect true crime vibe.

The narrator does an excellent job of bringing the story to life. Would highly recommend to anyone who like Scandi Noir and the true crime genre!

Extremely exciting, well-written and very frightening

But it isn’t fiction. It’s a true story - and that makes it all so much scarier!

This gripping and documentary account of a tragic series of murders in a hospital is a disturbing insight into an unbelievable case of a murder who used her profession to arbitrarily determine the life an death of unsuspecting patients.

The book is incredibly well-written. The language is fluent. The story is brilliantly presented to keep the suspense up, while in no way turning into “sensational journalism”. The book is well-researched - the perpetrator herself also had her say in the book, so that you can get a “good” impression of this person too.

Often I was simply stunned by this story - and shaken as well.

The author has succeeded in creating a deeply harrowing portrait of a murderess whose abysses are difficult to digest - but, is she guilty? Should she be convicted? The questions keep ruminating after this great read.

For all true crime readers: it’s a must read!

Easily paced. Well done but not outstanding or gripping.

A fairly even paced recounting of the events surrounding this case.
Not quite a ‘slam dunk’ but well researched and pretty even handed approach.

Very very slow

After reading previous reviews I thought this book sounded just my thing, but how wrong could I be... The book goes in to so much detail about things that really have no bearing on the story that half the time I found myself switching off until I heard the hospital mentioned again.

the book could probably have 70% of the text removed and you would still get the complete story
