Must read!. If you like forensics, this is a must read. A well written look into the history of American forensic medicine and its early days in New York City. Fantastically written, easy to read. You don't need a chemistry background or science degree to enjoy this book!

Loved reading. Great book!

Poisoners handbook. Fantastic ! If you like light chemistry and heavy history this book is for you.

Loved it!. I learned so much about prohibition and the rise of forensic toxicology. This book is interesting, informative and fun to read!

LOVED IT. This book fought its way to the top and said "I AM YOUR FAVORITE." It's a narrative telling of the history of forensics, with humor and poise. It's gritty, and doesn't gloss over or make things pretty, telling it like it is. You find yourself rooting for Norris and Gettler as they battle not only murderers, but society and the government, as well. I don't really read many nonfiction books, but this one by far has reminded me of my love and passion for the history of things, forensics, and chemistry. A must read.

The Poisoner’s Handbook. Excellent historical narrative. Well written.

Great read. I was totally engrossed as I read about the birth of forensic medicine. The author has artfully woven the tales of the criminals with the tales of those who traced their actions trhough a trail of poison, death, and gore: most often to convict them, occasionally to exhonorate those accused.

Incredibly smart, inspiring, and lots of fun. This was an excellent book--riveting in its portrayal of both the heroes and the villains, but especially the heroes, Drs. Norris and Gettler. The heroes inspire you by their capacity as scientists, but even more in their capacity as good citizens in the currents of their times. The author does an excellent job of coloring Great Depression America, so as to further highlight the protagonists' achievements. This book was was so smart and witty--not to mention diabolically fun--that I challenge that there are few activities more enjoyable than reading (or listening on my ipad) this book on a carefree afternoon.

Fascinating story of the birth of ME's offices.. I've been a criminal lawyer for more than 20 years. This was a book about crime that even I could enjoy.
