Forever and Five Days
Lowell Cauffiel
Amazon.com Review
Cathy was the lively one–the bleached-blonde star of the nurses’ aides’ lunchroom–the one who enjoyed scripting an ever-changing soap opera from the lives of the nursing-home staff. Gwen was the pug-nosed newcomer with a little girl’s dependency and desire to please: she doted on Cathy, and was honored to be chosen as her lover. They turned a respected Michigan nursing home into their playground for frivolous games and practical jokes. Then Cathy got worried that Gwen was cheating on her, so she suggested a love pact that would bind them together ‘forever and five days.’ Gwen carried out her wishes, and smothered five patients in their beds. It’s a story with a large cast of characters–the employees of the nursing home, the individual patients and their loving families, the outsiders who wondered and worried. Lowell Cauffiel does a good job of letting us into their lives, and into the world of make-believe that allowed these murders to go unnoticed for so long. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
