How many patients need to die under a nurse’s care to raise suspicions?
In 1895, elderly patients were quietly dying one by one, yet no one sounded the alarm – until an entirely family passed away. All had been in the care of nurse Jane Toppan and suspicions hit the roof.
Dilated pupils, feverish bodies, and erratic rambling left doctors baffled, but these weren’t the signs of illness. They were the marks of something far more sinister. Toppan manipulated her patients' dosages, watching them drift between life and death. For her, each fatal dose was not a crime, but a twisted act of mercy—a dark salvation from suffering.
Compelled by her own dark impulses, she transformed from a healer into a merciless killer, deeply relishing the power she wielded over life and death.
Angel of Death is a chilling account of Jane Toppan, who is one of America's most notorious female serial killers. This riveting narrative draws listeners into the terrifying reality faced by her victims and unravels the chilling psychology behind her horrific choices.

Historia
Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed, both of which, in 1963, would threaten to destroy him. In the end, President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it. Political consultant, strategist, and Libertarian Roger Stone has gathered documents and used his firsthand knowledge to construct the ultimate tome to prove that LBJ was not only involved in JFK's assassination, but was in fact the mastermind. With 2013 being the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for The Man Who Killed Kennedy to be available to readers. The research and information in this book is unprecedented, and as Roger Stone lived through it, he's the perfect person to bring it to everyone's attention.

Who was Jimmy Savile? More than anything he was a list of contradictions. He was a practising Catholic who raped young boys and girls and had sex with corpses. He was a God-fearing believer who participated in satanic rituals. He was an unprecedentedly generous charity fundraiser who was too tight to buy his own meals. He was a friend of princes and dukes who ate bacon sandwiches at his local greasy spoon. He was a peace activist who tied up troublemakers in his nightclubs and had them brutally beaten. He was a fairy godfather who hated children.

On a cold winter day in 1832, Sarah Maria Cornell was found dead in a quiet farmyard in a small New England town. When her troubled past and a secret correspondence with charismatic Methodist minister Reverend Ephraim Avery was uncovered, more questions emerged. Was Sarah’s death a suicide...or something much darker? Determined to uncover the real story, Victorian writer Catharine Read Arnold Williams threw herself into the investigation as the trial was unfolding and wrote what many claim to be the first American true-crime narrative, Fall River.

Experts agree on the value of genetic testing when there is a family history of disease, or if the patient has an illness frequently caused by a mutation. Knowing the disease mutation lets family members find out if they have it too and need preventive care. The book explains that doctors can order tests with genetic counseling at relatively low cost and how this will help them prescribe preventive actions, make earlier diagnoses, and get better outcomes.

John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life.

On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea. When the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore—on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans.

In broad daylight, Herbert Mullin calmly placed a rifle on the roof of his car, took aim at Fred Perez, and pulled the trigger without flinching. The fatal shot rang out, causing panic as a witness frantically called the police. Compelled by the voices in his head, Mullins believed that human sacrifice would prevent a massive earthquake from striking California. No one was safe. Over a span of four months, Mullins brutally killed men, women, children, and a priest, without any hint of remorse.

Was she the first Angel of Death?
I read a lot of true crime books and most are truly disturbing. This book, following the life and crimes of Jane Toppan, considered to be one of the first and most prolific serial killers, is more disturbing than most. Not because of the gruesomeness of the crimes (I've read a lot that are much worse), but because of her lack of empathy and selfishness. As the author says, "It is most unsettling to consider the idea that a person might kill and kill again, just to make their life easier."
Jane was the daughter of poor Irish immigrants, whose mother died due to TB and her father, unable to cope with raising his young daughters, drank and slowly went insane. Jane is sent to an orphanage and soon finds herself an indentured servant at a very young age. She is more fortunate than most in that situation since the family she serves treats her almost like a part of the family. When the young woman of the house decides to marry, Jane is devastated.
She becomes a nurse and is respected by those she works with, but she hides a dark secret. Jane begins to "experiment" on her patients, trying out different poisons on them to see how they react. She discovers that this brings her a type of sexual gratification and that only increases her desires to kill.
From hospital to hospital, then on to private nursing, Jane convinces herself that she can actually take over some of her wealthier patients' lives. Anyone who gets in her way, from patients to landlords to friends, isn't safe from her machinations. In 1895, she is finally caught when she kills an entire family. By the time her crimes are discovered, she had poisoned up to 100 people. But, she swore that she wasn't insane, remembering the treatments of her father and sister in asylums. Jane was (probably) the first Angel of Death, but her killings were not out of mercy; they were out of greed and self satisfaction.
The author does his usual amazing job in unearthing the crimes of the past, presenting them in a well-written and easy to read way. He also manages to humanize the victims so that they are not just names in a dry document.
The narrator, Steve White, has become the voice of Green's books. His performance is great and fits the true crime genre perfectly. If you are a true crime fan, I highly recommend any of Ryan Green's books.

Medicine and murder...
While you may think that medicine and murder are two topics that have little in common, sadly, that is a misconception. According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health – one of the world’s foremost agencies dedicated to biomedical research), it is quite likely that physicians have contributed more serial killers to the darker pages of history than all other professions combined, with nurses coming in a close second. It is into these chilling waters that Ryan Green delves with his latest true crime biography of Jane Toppan, a child born of Irish immigrants who managed to amass sufficient medical knowledge to become a highly respected nurse yet who eventually, in one of the most scandalous confessions of the 1900s, detailed quite explicitly how she killed no fewer than thirty-one people. Steve White once again offers his vocal talent as narrator in another spot-on performance accentuating the author’s signature blend of thorough research, intuitive psychological profiling and storytelling mastery that made me feel like I had been transported to turn-of-the-century Massachusetts and ushered to a front row seat for the opportunity to bear witness to all the hardships and misfortunes which forged this woman into a cold-blooded killer. Her mesmerizing tale could be described as equal parts callous, cruel and creepy. She actually admitted to wanting to be known for killing more helpless people than anyone else. She further admitted to having experienced a degree of sexual arousal from her actions. If that isn’t creepy, I don’t know what is. If you have any interest in true crime, history or psychology, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this audiobook. Even if you have read about this disturbing case elsewhere, I am confident that you will find a wealth of information and possibilities to ponder for some time to come.
