The Poisoner's Handbook Penguin Group(USA) Inc, 2010, 375pp.,$25.95 Deborah Blum ISBN 978-1-59420-243-8 “In the early twentieth century industrial innovation flooded the United States with wealth of modern poisons, creating new opportunities for clever poisoners and new challenges for the country's early forensic detectives.” The Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum is a non-fiction book which takes place around the Prohibition era in New York City, a time period also known as the jazz age. The book is told through the eyes of the chief medical examiner, Dr. Gettler. He was the first forensic scientist in the United States. Each chapter in the Poisoner's Handbook is about a different poison and a different murder in New York City. The book covers different poisons, from arsenic to carbon monoxide. The Poisoner's Handbook was interesting because Deborah Blum was able to mix chemistry, history and murder mystery all in one chapter. It could get a little confusing at times because of all the chemistry involved. There's some language, but its not too bad. This book was a fascinating read, because of all the poisons that were used. It's scary how many just every day products like bug spray, rat poison and even balding cream contained poisonous chemicals. I would recommend The Poisoner's Handbook to someone who enjoys history, science or murder mystery books. It is geared toward 8th grade and up. Even though The book involves murder, it's not very heavy in terms of violence. Although this book is non-fiction, it almost reads like a fiction novel-you just want to keep turning the page.
