Starvation Heights

A True Story of Murder and Malice in the Woods of the Pacific Northwest by Gregg Olsen. I came across this book while shelving about a week ago...and thought it looked interesting. And, since it had taken place here in the Pacific Northwest I thought I would give it a go... It was interesting...I have read about John Kellogg's place in Michigan...and of course many people go to doctors who tell them that fasting or certain diets will certainly cure them. Well, this book takes it a little further and a doctor near Seattle starved her patients to death...well, she strongly influenced them anyway. These two sisters from Great Britain come to the US and travel, hear about her cure and come to see her...and then stay with her...one dies. The other is finally rescued by a family nurse...and then charges are brought up on the doctor...what happens next is creepy, terrifying and just hard to believe...check it out! Definitely not for the weak of stomach!
