Poisons: The Handbook for Writers

The effective means for an undiscovered, perfect murder is illusive. The bottomless fear of discovery has kept most of us from the real life dastardly deed. But what about authors who need to craft a believable plot?

Those who kill “fictionally” will find this book a valuable resource.

A book that covers all types of poisons would be the size of an encyclopedia, and is not needed by writers’ in search of a believable method for their criminal to dispatch their victim. This handbook will discuss poisons a “normal” person could get with little or no trouble, and if done right will leave little or no trace back to the murderer.

Have fun planning your perfect fictional murder by poison..

Where can writers learn about all these household and backyard poisons? Enter Dr. David Ciambrone and his Book of Poisons. In this remarkable book he shares his extensive knowledge on all things toxic in a clear and concise format. The writer can easily choose the poison that fits his plot needs and learn all he needs to know about how the poison works and how it affects the unfortunate victim! If you write crime fiction, you need this book. It will not only supply you with a vast range of knowledge, it will also tickle that little part of your creative mind that asks: What if? And that’s where the story starts!!

Fabulous resource for writers!

5.0 out of 5 stars at Amazon.com

I bought this book after attending David’s workshop at the 2014 Killer Nashville, which was excellent. The book is excellent too! It’s easy to read, and the organization of poisons makes it very easy to use as a writer. In fact, I used two poisons from the book in my recent novel! This book is a fabulous resource for writers!
