Before the Poison by Peter Robinson

3.0

Often times this story seemed repetetive and way too rich in details to which I had no reference point. The author would name songs/composers, stores, liquor brands, and other specifics which just seemed to create a drag in the storyline for me. There were alao many characters introduced that had no bearing on the story itself (like his daughter and her husband who popped by for Christmas). Other characters such as the housemaid were mentioned but never developed into a good part of the action. The story really never took off for me.
