She cuts off his foot and his thumb. She runs over a police officer's head with a lawnmower. She dismembers (off-page) another character. She is responsible for the death of dozens of others in her time as a nurse, including multiple NICU babies.

This book was a disappointment. I didn’t hate it but didn’t really like it either. It takes awhile to pick up and the sections of Misery Returns were long and irrelevant to the actual plot. Very tense with well done suspense.
