*AS SEEN ON BBC'S PANORAMA*

In June 2015 babies started dying unexpectedly on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. As medics searched desperately for answers, lead consultant Dr Steve Brearey emailed the ward manager to say, 'We still need to talk about Lucy.'

Several years have passed since then and Letby is now in jail. And yet the doctor's words continue to hold true. Despite her convictions and an extensive public inquiry, there are more questions now about Letby than ever - and they aren't going away. So who is the real Lucy Letby? What convinced senior medics and the police that she was killing babies? And were they right - or could her convictions be a miscarriage of justice, as some now believe?

Drawing on extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with her, as well as unrivalled access to documents and key players in her case, this book traces the story of Letby from primary school to prison, and grapples with the truth about one of the most high-profile murder cases in living memory.

I enjoyed this. I think the audiobook was much easier to follow than it would of been trying to read it. I absolutely think Lucy Letby is innocent and even more so after this book. It's horrendous how they convicted her to life in prison with absolutely no evidence of her actually doing this. I hope she gets a retrial. As a nurse it also worries me how easily this can be setup and the blame be put onto nurses.

this had me gripped from beginning to end. very well written without bias,offering alternative theories etc. in my opinion,letby is without doubt guilty,and this book helped me realise I was right to question the validity of the trial. it was in no way a miscarriage of justice.thanks to the police,medics,parents drs evans and bohin ,for ridding society of this sadistic young woman,who hid in plain sight

Having heard very little of this case - I do not watch or listen to mainstream TV or radio - I found this book to be both insightful and give a well balanced argument. Would highly recommend.
