Terrifying and exhilarating at the same time - The Queen of all Poisons - will leave you wondering... what if?

Dr. Lily Robinson has been asked to work on a poison that kills without bloodshed only to find out the Russians have already released a deadly toxin.

Non-stop thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you learn about Rose, Bella - Alexis, Jp, Lilly, and the rest of the cast. The story weaves in and out of plots effortlessly and leaves you at the end wanting more.

The author delivers a well-written story plot that I am certain you will enjoy reading!! Can't wait to read more by this author in the future.

Thank you to Encircle Publications and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The premise of this book is fascinating, and the scenarios it brings up are all too terrifyingly possibilities in our world today. The story is fast-paced and action-filled, and it was obvious that the author did her research on the medical side of things. That being said, I found it a rather frustrating read. The writing is choppy, the narrative is all over the place, the characterization is flat and there are a few rather large holes in the plot.

Overall, a promising debut - I just wish the editing had been more stringent.

An amazing read !

Dr. Lily Robinson has two careers. She is a toxicology doctor in Boston and an assassin for the government. She is an expert.
in poisons and grows them at her house outside of Boston. Yet, Lily does have a conscience. She knows that a mass killing by terrorists would be far worse than killing the perpetrator. New York City is in a bind for doctors to treat an increasing respiratory illness that is quickly lethal. Dr. Baxter (whom Lily had previously met) joins in, doing many autopsies on these mostly younger people, They, for the most part, have similar symptoms. Another interested party is Jim, an EMT that has been bringing patients to Lily's hospital. Also, John in Hong Kong, who Lily knows and had been her mentor. He helps her with sample tests and potions.

Chad, Lily's government advisor, tells Lily that she has to go to New York for an important meeting of international bankers in Washington, DC - one of them being a terrorist (But WHO?) and to poison that person. There, she meets up with an old love, JP, from France and the museum curator.

Now, the reader trusts NO ONE, except (maybe?) Dr. Baxter and of course, Lily. She is finding out that the trust factor isn't known to her - and feels completely alone.

So who are the terrorists? Someone close to Lily?

WOW - many twists in this superb read!!! I recommend to all!

Many thanks to both Encircle Publications LLC and NetGalley for a colossal winner!!!

I found this book to be a fascinating novel with lots of suspense and also quite a bit of scientific medical information. The main characters life is divided into two parts-in one half of her life she is a Dr. and attempts to solve medical mysteries especially if people have been poisoned. The other half of her life she is a spy working for the government as an assasian against terrorists and her favorite weapon is poison. Well written and fast paced with an appendix at the end that explains all the most famous poisons that she used in the book.
