4.0
Review Title: Chilling and Captivating: A Dive into Dark Depths of Trust
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Hey fellow book-lovers! I've just finished my re-read of "Sjuksköterskan: Fallet som skakade hela Skandinavien" by Kristian Corfixen and, boy, is it a ride.
Here's the deal - this book gets a solid four stars from me. Yes, it's a re-read, but that's only because I recently binged the Netflix show based on the same case and wanted to revisit Corfixen's original telling of it.
This chilling narrative revolves around nurse Christina Aistrup Hansen, accused of deliberately ending the lives of her patients. It's truly horrifying to think about the potential for such abuse in professions that are all about care and trust. It's like your worst nightmare, isn't it?
What's truly fascinating here is the character of Christina herself - how she managed to maintain a mask of charisma and professionalism, effectively silencing any potential whistleblowers for years. It's almost like a masterclass in manipulation and deception, only the subject matter makes it far from a thrilling study.
But let's take a moment to applaud Pernille, the brave soul who reported her suspicions, standing against the tide even when support seemed lacking from her workplace. Her courage is truly commendable.
Corfixen does an incredible job of reconstructing this complex and haunting case with intricate detail. It's part examination of a criminal case, part critique of the healthcare system and the often overlooked loopholes in it. That's what makes it such a compelling read.
"Sjuksköterskan" is a disturbing but necessary read. It raises important questions about trust, the healthcare system, and the potential for abuse within it. If you're a true crime enthusiast or even just someone fascinated by the darker aspects of human nature, I'd recommend giving this a go.
Have any of you read this or seen the Netflix show? I'm curious to know what you think about Christina's case and Pernille's courage. Let's chat in the comments!
