poisons used in mystery novels

Poisons are often used as a means of murder in mystery novels. The killer might slip it into the victim's drink or food without being noticed. For example, arsenic could be added to a cup of tea.

Arsenic is a very common one. It was often used in older mystery novels as it could be easily disguised and was a relatively accessible poison at one time. Another is cyanide. It's a fast - acting poison, which makes it quite dramatic for mystery plots.

Poisons can create mystery. For example, when a character is poisoned and the source or type of poison is unknown, it sets up a puzzle for the detective to solve. This drives the investigation forward.

Arsenic is a very common one. It was often used in the past in mystery novels as it could be easily obtained in certain forms and was hard to detect at first. It can be administered in food or drink and causes symptoms that could be misdiagnosed.

I don't think so. Even the most sophisticated poisons leave some traces that experts can eventually uncover with the right tools and knowledge.

In the book, Detective Ke Xue introduced the use of fishing lines, tape, videotapes, etc. to set up a secret room, using traps, poisons, poisonous insects, etc. to complete the killing in the secret room, as well as the methods of hiding in the secret room after killing. Meanwhile, investigator Ke Xue introduced the methods of using Mythical Creatures to kill and voodoo curses to kill. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

The five poisons are a common phrase in martial arts novels. It usually refers to five extremely dangerous and fatal diseases or conditions, including: 1. Viper poison: refers to the venom secreted by snakes, which is poisonous and aggressive. Once infected, it is difficult to cure it even if you seek medical treatment in time. 2. Scorpion venom: The venom secreted by scorpions is also poisonous and aggressive. It can cause serious allergic reactions and poisoning reactions. Spider poison: The venom secreted by spiders is also poisonous and aggressive, which can cause allergic reactions and poisoning reactions. 4. Centipede Poison: The venom secreted by centipedes is irritating and toxic, which can cause reactions in the nervous system and digestive system. 5. Bacteriotoxin: It refers to the toxins secreted by various bacteria and microorganisms that can cause various serious infections and diseases, including leukemia, impetuous disease, etc. It should be noted that the above are only settings in martial arts novels, and the above five diseases or conditions do not exist in reality.

I recommend the following martial arts novels to you. They all involve the plot of poison: "She Became an Ancient Divine Sword After Transforming Books","My Skills Have Special Effects","The Mad Poison Doctor","The Rebirth of the First Daughter: Evil King, Don't Do Anything!" "The Evil Emperor's Favor, Snake and Scorpion Demon Concubine","Reborn Concubine's Poison Empress","Reporting to the Emperor, Madam has gone to harm the Four Realms again."

Well, red herrings in mystery novels are there to mislead and create confusion. It keeps readers guessing and makes the eventual reveal more satisfying. They also increase the tension and suspense as you're constantly second-guessing your assumptions.

I recommend " The War God of Ten Thousand Poisons " to you. The plot is very exciting. The protagonist is a university student who accidentally transmigrated to another world and became a lab rat for an alchemist. He eats poison every day for a living. With the help of the mysterious spiritual pearl in his body, he became immune to all poisons. He was the king of poison! Thank you for your question. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
