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).

I listened the audiobook through in one sitting while crocheting socks, feeling much like Miss Marple. Well-written and thoroughly researched!

A Taste for poison is information -dense and conversational in style. I really enjoyed the anecdotal examples given for the different poisons' historical uses both in medicine and with malicious intent. I didn't know that the Curies' daughter was a victim of their radiation experiments. Some of the more recent examples of misuse of these poisons were unexpectedly upsetting because the incidents were geographically near to where I live and happened in a time in which I was alive. I enjoyed the conversational tone of the book, but I don't feel like I retained as much as I wanted to with a single read through. The organization of the contents is better suited to a few further readings if this were something I wanted to use as a source in future research.
