The Queen of All Poisons

A Dr. Lily Robinson Novel

By: BJ Magnani

Narrated by: Kristin James

A Boston physician becomes an assassin for the US government in this medical suspense thriller by an award-winning pathologist.

“Hidden under a cloak of legitimacy, I have been pressed to deliver extraordinary service for my country. It has been a successful ruse. A premium blend of dark deception with just an aroma of truth.” (Dr. Lily Robinson)

Dr. Lily Robinson is a brilliant physician with an encyclopedic knowledge of all toxins and poisons...and a penchant for stilettos. Then in a sudden twist, the United States government appeals to her patriotism - and her knowledge of how to kill without bloodshed - to rid the world of threats to our nation. Emotionally blunted and flawed, she struggles to move between assassin and healer, yet still able to fulfill her competing objectives. Now asked to assassinate a terrorist threatening New York City, she quickly realizes the Russians have already released a deadly toxin in a surprisingly innocuous medium.

Couldn’t put it down

Emotional and thrilling at the same time. The characters were well thought out.

The plot builds and characters intersect like puzzle pieces to a riveting climax. I felt challenged to solve the puzzle as I tried to figure out who would support and who would betray Dr. Robinson in her espionage efforts, using her knowledge of deadly poisons to save many lives in spite of a ruthless plan to destroy those lives.

The author makes good use of dramatic irony that begs the reader to pay attention to the clues. This kept me guessing and turning the pages.

If you love a good mystery and thrilling moments with a female protagonist unlike any other, you’ll enjoy this book.

I look forward to reading Book 2.
