Title: Overkill
Review: I read Death Trap, by Mr. Phelps and enjoyed it enough to buy another of his books. A nurse, possibly having killed as much as 40 patients is something that gets one's attention. It is something one is horrified about. And Mr. Phelps is justly horrified, but as an author is too horrified. He writes the book as for someone he does not trust to be as horrified as him. He treats us readers as sociopaths, as mentally challenged sociopaths. He hammers in the same key multiple times so we get it. He goes over excruciating dull details to make us believe that woman spent 24hours a day, seven days a week being evil. He paints her as close as a mustachioned person tying an innocent to train tracks as he can get away with,and in doing so he commits the worse fellony a writer can do, he is boring. The only reason I gave him 2 stars was because he has done his research.Next time I will stick with authors that can make a statement without either treating me like a 3 year old or boring me to death
