I enjoyed this book. This book contained eleven poisons, and for each one Bradbury explained how each one worked and how it was used by a killer.

A nice starter for the field. Toes the line between too science-y and not science-y enough--some of the chapters are all too brief. That said,I learned a lot! Even that there was a poisoning in my home town 10 years ago (oops).

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.
