Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...
Agatha Christie revelled in use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her knihy; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random - the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. S gunshots alebo stabbings dôsledok smrti je obviňaný, ale nie je case s poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?
Christie's bohaté chemické vedomosti vykonávajú backdrop pre A je pre Arsenic, v ktorých Kathryn Harkup investuje do poisons používaných múrik v štyroch klasických Agatha Christie mysteries. Ide looks at why certain chemických kill, ako ich interact s body, the cases that may inspiroval Christie, a pravdepodobnosť obtaining, administering a detekting tieto poisons, both at time the novela bola written and today. A je pre Arsenic je oslava používania vedomostí z nedisputovanej Queen of Crime.
