A pretty good read, I’m not super into true crime but this book and story intrigued me as it seemed like the type of story that would be widely known of and yet this book is the first time I came across Graham Young.
The first part of the book gives an interesting look at the history of poison and then introduces us to Graham Young as a school boy of just 14 but who is already a sinister and quite scary person which in turns gets him sent to Broadmoor.
You get really hooked into the story and it’s clear to see that it was really well researched and the authors writing style is both informative and descriptive which I think really helps grab you and keep you interested through out the book.
Graham’s story continues after his release and he goes back to his old ways being deemed the ‘teacup poisoner’. It’s maddening how he seemed to evade the authorities and the mistakes made by them make you want to yell at the page!
Overall, this was a nice delve into true crime for me and if you’re a fan of the genre then this book should be right up your alley.
