King of Poisons: A History of Arsenic por John Parascandola
So-so book. The last half was better than the first half. All those summaries of murders involving arsenic became rather boring. Same with all the summaries of the books involving murder by arsenic. The various uses and detrimental effects of arsenic were more interesting.
Ouch, as of 9/20/2013 the ebook price on this at Amazon is $39.46. This is now going on my list of Wow Really? I Must Keep an Eye On This books with wackadoodle prices. (2008 book, Publisher: Praeger)
