The full title, "Deadly Doses - a writer's guide to poisons" tells you that this was written as a writer's guide, but it turns out that it's much more. This guide is intended to help mystery writers. It gives ideas and advice throughout the book, but as I read through the book, I found out that it's also very entertaining and educational. It is organized so that you can find poisons by category. Some of the categories: Household Poisons - Poisonous Plants - Snakes, Spiders, And Other Living Things - Medical Poisons - Pesticides; and Industrial Poisons, affect all our lives. This is loaded with practical information, including effects, symptoms, reaction times, case histories, what to look out for, antidotes and treatments, etc. It has history, Street Drugs, and much more. In short, it's a very interesting and practical book!Read full review
