I didn't know what kind of book I was going to be reviewing before I started. I am not particularly fond of voodoo and vampires. I think this lead to my rating. I also was turned off by the setting. It was not somewhere I could relate to and there was a LOT of information about it.
The book did have a lot of action and adventure and if you like zombies then you would probably like this one.
I preferred Jimmy Olsen's book "Things In Ditches".

I received a copy of "Poison Makers" in exchange for my honest review.

Poison Makers by Jimmy Olsen
I agreed to read and review this book as I had just read his other works about diving around the islands.
I have read other books about voodoo in the islands so am kind of familiar but not first hand knowledge. This book described the missing knowledge that made the book not only interesting but a new learning experience.
Was a bit of diving included but I wished there had been more.
EJ is summoned to help find out about Adam Quists death. He is an ambassador for the US. Love how he not only seeks advice and information from the family but others on the islands.
Love all the hidden places-what a treasure the island holds. I can't imagine a party like the one his sisters and mother have in regards to my family-I was laughing so hard when he found out.
The enormity of the poor country hit me when his housekeeper rents a set of teeth for the party as she is the server.
Loved hearing of the Arlington Cemetery as my son was on duty there for a while. Places in NY were cool to read about as I also was in the city in the 1970's.
Love how he follows the clues to the murder mystery and gets in so deep as to what it is all really turning out to be.
Not sure I believe in the life the people were turned into but it did made for a good read.
Very detailed descriptions I felt like I was there with them on their journey. ( )
