I have a preternatural interest in spices, stimulants, absinthe and poisons--all of these tend to make their way to my writing. I worry sometimes that is someone close to me dies in mysterious circumstances that my browser history could be problematic. Bradbury considers this also in the preface. To anyone looking for a way to eliminate someone with a poison, this book is a must read. It tells how the poison works, the story of people who used it to kill, and how they were caught. The bottom line is: don't do it. The forensics are just too good, you will not get away with it. Bradbury writes in a very approachable style. The book is easy to read. The chapters are just the right length. It teaches about the drug, where it comes from, how it was developed, and how it has been used to kill. The stories of the murders are fascinating and well told. They read like a short story than history, and they are never dull.
