A passion for poison is a very fitting title for this book. The beginning really draws you to read on as you need to find out why this 14 year old boy is privately exulting despite being sent to Broadmoor for poisoning this father, sister and friend. Although only 14 years old, Graham Young was sent to Broadmoor as he had a psychopathic disorder that left him ‘prepared to take the risk of killing to gratify his interest in poisons’
The author acknowledges that the act of poisoning is such a nefarious and cowardly way to bring about pain or death but explains how it has been used throughout history and has evolved and is usually fuelled by motive. However, tHe true story of Graham Young is a shocking and chilling read expertly written about how a psychopath has no understandable motive and no stopping point to his own curiosity and no limits to what he will do.
