A review by xxstefaniereadsxx
The Royal Art of Poison: Filthy Palaces, Fatal Cosmetics, Deadly Medicine, and Murder Most Foul by Eleanor Herman

informative slow-paced

4.0

 I love Eleanor Herman's books. I listened to this one on Audible, and really enjoyed it. It seems so alien to read about the hygiene in previous eras and realize how far removed it is from what we (should) practice now. I enjoyed the suspicions and the wild ideas people had to keep themselves safe and detect any poisonous substances. I will always recommend any and all Eleanor Herman books.
