The story of Graham Young, the teacup poisoner. From his beginnings to the very end this looks at his whole life and the ones with him. The story of his first poisonings that got him sent to Broadmoor and then the murders that followed his release.
As a true crime buff I was looking forward to reading this. I have also read other works by this author so knew she would do the story justice. This is a really comprehensive look at his life and how everything transpired. We hear from those involved in the case and his own family. Its a fascinating read trying to understand his motives and the subject is handled with detail but it doesn't overwhelm the reader. This doesnt glamorise the story but gives an honest account of all the facts which is always better for me. In a way you want to feel for Graham and yet his actions make it hard to. I did sympathise with his family and all they would have gone through. A brilliant true crime novel.
