I read and loved the first book in this series, Dante's Wood. Dante's Poison is a fine follow-up---twisty, turny, complex until all the threads come together. I would still recommend reading DW first to have the full story of Mark's blindness and family regrets, but this book made Mark more real to me. He's less angry, more human. I can see rooting for this character for a long time, through many books.

Audio book read on road trip. Narrator is good. Story almost predictable.

Dr (Dante) Mark Angelotti is at it again in the second book in Raimondo's series. This time he is helping with 2 different legal cases. First is an attorney accused of murdering her boyfriend and the other another psychologist being sued for malpractice after one of his patients commits suicide. This is another excellent addition to the Mark Angelotti series. As always I recommend reading this series in order but I do recommend reading it. It'll be time well spent.

Overall 3.5 out of 5

A very good follow up to Raimondo's first book about Mark Angelotti. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Soon after I read Dante's Wood last year ... I did probably the best thing I can do to compliment an author. I went to Amazon and ordered the whole Mark Angelotti trilogy, and here I am reading books #2 and 3.

The second installment was good and solid, but most, if not all, of the medical jargon went over my head. While Dante's Poison probably could be read okay as a standalone, go ahead and do yourself a favor and read Dante's Wood first ... you'll be able to understand Mark a little better.

I love how he is entirely human. He's lovable and imperfect. He's witty and intelligent and he loves his young son more than anything else in the world. He's a very admirable character, and I look forward to reading more about him.

A lot about this book: characters, writing style, plot, descriptions of Chicago irritated me. I had to put it down.
