A passion for poison is a true crime book based on serial poisoner Graham Young. His crimes started as a young teen, where he was admitted to a maximum security hospital. However, upon his release his crime spree continued with devastating consequences.
I am an avid true crime fan, yet I had never previously heard of Graham Young (I suspect this could potentially be because of my age). Carol Ann Lee’s writing is so intensely detailed and meticulously research, I feel like I now have a pretty good understanding of the case. This is one of the most haunting yet fascinating true crime stories I’ve ever heard.
Obviously, with any book of this nature, it is not an easy read. It is dark, foreboding and chilling, yet I simply could not put the book down. I found myself devouring this read and really hope that Carol writes more books similar to this one as this is my favourite true crime book, to date. There’s a haunting aspect to true crime that can be extremely tough to recreate in fiction. However, this almost felt like reading a well written thriller, carol is able to narrate in a detached yet informative manner.
I would absolutely recommend this book to any true crime fans! I want to thank readers first, the publishers and author for allowing me to read this book and give my personal opinions
