dark hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

In a unique take on the historical true crime genre, Dr. Bradbury presents a refreshingly science-forward exploration of several well-known poisons footnoted by infamy. Throughout his careful descriptions of each compound's chemistry and its resulting impact on the human body, I appreciated the balanced perspective that, in many cases, what kills can also cure.

As an aside, I will say that readers should not operate heavy machinery while listening to this audiobook! Derek Perkins' narration is the definition of soothing, and I mean that in the BEST way. It evokes the sensation of an afternoon couch-nap while watching a British procedural.
