In her new book 'A Passion for Poison', Carol Ann Lee tells the story of Graham Young who came to be known as the 'Teacup Poisoner'. The book takes a very factual view and has clearly been well researched. Having not heard of Graham Young before, I found it very interesting to hear about different parts of his life.
The author spends time detailing the early parts of Young's life, his time spent in Broadmoor and then spends the majority of the book discussing the time that Young spent working at Hadlands. It is detailed and thorough and does not leave the reader with many questions about the poisoner's life.
Whilst this book wasn't a page turner, it was very interesting and I learnt plenty. I would recommend it for true crime lovers and also those who, like myself, don't often pick up non-fiction books as it is a good example of a different type of book.
