A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry

2.0

Book club pick. I ended up enjoying this one more than I thought I would. I didn't find it slow as many others did. While Lucas wasn't an amazing narrator personality-wise, he wasn't the worst one I've ever come across. Could he have been more likable, sure, but I found him sympathetic enough to keep me reading. However, I do agree with another reviewer who said this would have been a much better book if told from Isabel's POV. I really enjoyed the setting having never read a novel set in Puerto Rico before. Since my husband and I went there on our honeymoon it was fun being reminded of some of the locations and sights we saw in San Juan.
