As a mystery fan, I've read a fair number of bookks on poisons and poisoners and this one stands out as a home run. The approach to the topic was very methodcal and satisfying. the reader learns of a specific crime,or crimes, with the characters involved .One of those characters is the poison. How does it work, what does it do when it is not being used to kill , how can it be detected? You also learn a lot about the human body, why each poison has the effects on it that it does and how to counteract it. The author includes several medical professionals and seems to enjoy seein thise who thought they'd plotted the perfect crime being served their comeuppance. perhaps not for the weak of heart or stomach, since horrfic deaths via gas and the murder of children are depicted, but always in a scholarly non exploitative way. Overall an instructive and enjoyable book… (mehr)
Very informative and all the more frightening when considering the effects these poisons had on their victims. Bradbury has a way of making your hairs stand on edge while reading bout the unsuspecting nature of murderers' victims and the menacing agendas behind the crimes committed.

Very interesting look at various poisons with a historical and biochemical slant.

I think I liked the Poisoner's Handbook a little better than this, but this is short and concise and has some cases I hadn't heard of before.
