The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York by Deborah Blum

2.0

This was OK. The title, however, is much more exciting than the text itself. I also think I learned more about the unfortunate effects of Prohibition than I did about forensics, though the latter part of the book was stronger in its education.

audiobook note: To be honest, not a stellar production. I was willing to excuse a few slightly mispronounced words (it could be dialect, right?), but when words are allowed to be transposed without correction (submitting a "one letter sentence of resignation"), you've exasperated me.
