The Good Doctor is the best book by Wensley Clarkson that I have ever read! The writing is so detailed and so well organized, that I had a very difficult time putting it down!
Clarkson relays the story of Fred Shipman who, in 2000, was convicted of 15 murders; deaths that occured on his watch as their doctor after he induced their untimely demise with overdoses of morphine. Although convicted of only fifteen, it is believed that Shipman is responsible for more than 350 deaths.
In addition, Clarkson does a marvelous job of giving readers an inside view to Shipman’s family and tries to relay to the reader how, despite they are still living, they too are victims of this horribly depraved man.
I highly recommend The Good Doctor if you enjoy true crime. Not only is it entertaining, but will serve as an eye-opener into how one should never place one hundred percent trust in their doctor.
