About this listen

The best-selling author's "auspicious debut in the true-crime genre...[a] sensitive and searching story of the murders of at least six nursing home patients" (Publishers Weekly).

Outside the dining hall of the Alpine Manor nursing home, there is a sign that reads, "This is Grand Rapids, Michigan", a reminder for those who can no longer trust their own minds. For months, Cathy Wood has fed these residents, bathed them, and even moistened their eyes with artificial tears. To her, they live in a state worse than death - and she has decided to relieve them of their pain. Wood and her lover, Gwen Graham, make a pact to kill those whom they were hired to care for. No one notices when an elderly person dies a quiet death, but as these two slip deeper into their plan, the terrible secret becomes unbearable.

Lowell Cauffiel's account of the Alpine Manor murders is a chilling saga of true crime and the twisted lengths to which some will go in pursuit of justice.

Best true crime novel…

I’v read in a long time. The depth the author went into re mental heath issues of the murderers is refreshing. Only ten reviews have been posted here; so many people aren’t choosing it. What a shame!

Well written!

This was a good one, well written and informative easy to get into. The narrator has a little bit of a weird voice infliction at the end of each sentence but you get used to it. The story is good, and kept me interested.

*7 Hours in so far*

This review is for 7 hours into the book. This is VERY drawn out and so many story lines and characters and jumping around. Hard to follow. The last hour (hour 6) finally got into the murders, Up until that point it's character development. I'm really hoping something happens soon but seems to being going back to childhood memories of characters AGAIN. Will update my review if I make it to the end. If I don't, it's cause I couldn't concentrate anymore and didn't finish.
