dark informative medium-paced

4.5

It doesn’t read like non-fiction which is a plus for me! It was informational but also talks about past poisoning cases which read like a fun lil story (if you thing true crime is fun haha). I will definitely read other books by this author! Loved his writing.

Excellent book. The science balance perfectly with history and true crime. Entertaining and lively voice throughout the book. Highly recommended

 3 stars- The book was interesting, but because of the way it was set up, especially in audiobook format let your attention wander at the beginning of the chapter when he was talking about the history of the poison, and only begin to pay attention at the true crime and "how it kills" parts at the end of each chapter. Which means you'd miss things. It was also a bit overall technical. But it was informative.
