In a scandal that gripped the nation, Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital, was accused and convicted of one of the most horrifying crimes imaginable—the murder of babies under her care. But what if the story isn’t as straightforward as it seems?

The Lucy Letby Scandal explores the chilling details behind the trial, while also examining the deeper, systemic issues at play. This book takes a hard look at institutional failures within the NHS, the intense media scrutiny, and the powerful narratives that shaped public opinion. Was Letby truly the “angel of death” the headlines declared, or has she become a scapegoat for a much larger crisis hidden within the healthcare system?

Drawing on expert testimony, historical examples of medical scapegoating, and a thorough analysis of the evidence, this book challenges the accepted narrative. It urges readers to question what they thought they knew about one of the most controversial and tragic medical scandals of recent times. The truth behind Lucy Letby’s case may be more complex—and unsettling—than anyone has been willing to admit.
