Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Listening to 'The Death Shift' was an unsettling experience, in the best way possible. Lee Ann Howlett's narration is exceptional. She captures the eerie calm of the nurse, making her all the more terrifying. The story itself is a testament to the power of investigative journalism. Elkind doesn't sensationalize the crimes; instead, he presents the facts with a stark, clinical precision that's almost more horrifying than any grim detail. The only critique is that some of the legal proceedings could have been condensed to keep the momentum going. But overall, this is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a well-told, chilling tale.
