From Library Journal
Murder, madness, and medicine are the themes of this book. Murder and madness describe Genene Jones, the subject of the book. Jones was first a nurse in a San Antonio public hospital, then in a private clinic, and worked exclusively with pediatric intensive care cases. Children mysteriously would go into cardiac arrest during Jones's shift. As many as 13 children may have died as a result of Jones's actions. The medical community, fearful of bad publicity and lawsuits, did nothing but release Jones with a good recommendation, after "upgrading the ICU staff." Elkind, a reporter for Texas Monthly , has done a superb job of investigative reporting, delving into Jones's background to make sense of her madness and also to understand the medical community's role. Recommended.

From Publishers Weekly
"The case of San Antonio nurse Genene Jones, convicted in 1984 of murdering children in her care, and now suspected of having killed as many as 16 infants, made national headlines," observed PW . "A horrifying true-life medical thriller, this report by an editor of Texas Monthly is written in an understated style that adds to its impact." Photos.
