Though nonfiction, it will likely appeal to mystery readers as well, with its vivid details, cast of potential poisoners, and curious twists in plot." - Library Journal, starred review "Hempel's fascinating look at how the science of poison detection developed is certain to draw in readers with its masterful combination of telling details, engrossing prose, and drama. Told with verve and a keen eye for suspense, The Inheritor's Powder is a great detective story all the way to the very last page." - Holly Tucker, author of Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution "This book will appeal to readers interested in the origins of forensic science as well as to readers of popular histories of science. Whicher." - John Emsley, author of The Elements of Murder: A History of Poison "Hempel weaves a diabolical tale of fractured families, their poisonous deeds, and the early scientists who found new ways to expose history's oldest crime. This fascinating book could well be the next The Suspicions of Mr. The Inheritor's Powder not only tells the story of Bodle's murder and the trial of his grandson, with its surprise ending, but it does so in a way that sets it in the context of a time when society was undergoing profound changes, not least in dealing with the type of crime that for centuries had been virtually impossible to prove. I can't think of another recent work that so thrillingly fulfills the two major aims of literary art: to delight and instruct." - Harold Schechter, author of The Devil's Gentleman: Privilege, Poison, and the Trial that Ushered in the Twentieth Century "Sandra Hempel has brilliantly researched a famous arsenic poisoning of 1833. "Hempel skillfully weaves whodunit and courtroom drama to take us back to the beginnings of the controversial science of forensic toxicology." - Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Periodic Tales and Anatomies "Readers of Sandra Hempel's un-put-downable true crime narrative will not only find themselves caught up in a grippingly suspenseful murder mystery they will be treated to a string of brilliantly delivered lessons on everything from the origins of toxicological science to pre-Victorian medical practices to the beginnings of modern forensic detection.
