A review by thehappylittleelf
Seductive Poison: A Jonestown Survivor's Story of Life and Death in the Peoples Temple by Deborah Layton

dark tense medium-paced

5.0

One of the most tense books I’ve ever read. I practically crapped myself multiple times from the sheer, abject terror within these pages. Debbie Layton is one of the bravest people I’ve ever read about. I’d love to meet her one day.
