The Poison Principle par Gail Bell

Found this book a bit incoherent: the author jumped around with anecdotes and famous poisonings in history while unfortunately allowing the thread of interest held by the mysterious deaths of her two uncles (as children) to weaken. It was only that I'd made it through 90% of the book that I thought I might as well finish it. This could have been a very interesting book, given the material, but it wasn't particularly well written or engaging.
