![]() ![]() This is definitely one of those books that I’ll need to read again and again. ![]() It’s very interesting reading about well known historical figures. I love how Herman not only talks about those final moments, but also a little about their lives, the reasons for their apparent murder and finally the modern evidence that does or does not support poisoning. ![]() Then there’s the section on historical figures which were reported to be murdered by poison. And how damn lucky I feel to have been born in the modern era. Of nothing else, this is a great reminder of just how far we’ve come. How many of these deaths were often attributed to poison… but in fact were just poor hygiene and pure insanity. I enjoyed how this book first talked about the different (and many) caused of death in the past. But it’s also a lot of information in a short amount of time. It’s incredibly interesting and informative. This is one of those books that I’ve stopped and started multiple times.
