This was by far the coolest book I have read in quite some time. It easily could have been a bone dry book on chemical analysis on poisonous substances. The author created an interesting, educational narrative around the subject that sucks you in. I found the New York angle and the Jazz age angle icing on the cake as there is a certain amount of romance around Poison, New York in the Jazz age, and prohibition. It was a very interesting take on the medical forensics in New York city at the time also.
Verdict: Read it. Not much practical use, but a very entertaining read for general knowledge purposes.
