I am thrilled to be on the blog tour for this read. My thanks to Hobeck for having me as a host.
What's it about?
Noxious plants, potent medicines, toxic household chemicals.
Harmless if handled with care.
Fatal if not.
Innocent, ordinary substances can have lethal potential in the hands of those seeking revenge or motivated by greed, misguided altruism or self-protection. Why is poison the choice of the calculated killer? What can go wrong? Poison may seem to offer the perfect murder, but even the best laid plans...
In this thrilling kaleidoscope of short stories written by critically acclaimed crime fiction writer and poison expert, Brian Price, you will enter the dark recesses of a poisoner’s imagination. You’ll wish you hadn’t had that coffee before heading up the motorway.
Bobs and Books honest review:
Well, where do I begin?
First of all, this a clever, a razor sharp collection where I can honestly say there is not one bad one in the whole collection. Every single one had me gripped.
A wonderful concoction of shorter tales, longer ones but each one had its own special ingredient (pun intended) to make it unique and special.
From some tricksy husband/wife relationships, affairs, frenemies- the dynamic between the characters was intriguing.
With the current mushroom poisoning case in the press, this felt topical but I will say, I would not want this author's google search history!
Out now
