“An entertaining and amusing ride.” - Kirkus ReviewsNever say no to Vasily Zinoviev. Or you could end up like the ‘working girl’ who skinny-dipped in the wrong pool.Living in a $20 million oceanfront mansion with a harem of mistresses, Vasily and his brother are more than a handful for Palm Beach homicide detective Charlie Crawford. But throw in a vengeful ex-wife, a vicious hit man, a mysterious tycoon–even more diabolical than the Russians–and you have Palm Beach Poison, proclaimed by Kirkus Reviews a “relentlessly diverting mystery” and “briskly paced fun.”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A native New Englander, Tom Turner dropped out of college and ran a Vermont bar. Limping back a few years later to get his sheepskin, he went on to become an advertising copywriter, first in Boston, then New York. After 10 years of post-Mad Men life, he made both a career and geography change and ended up in Palm Beach, renovating houses and collecting raw materials for his novels. After stints in Charleston, then Skidaway Island, outside of Savannah, Tom recently moved to Delray Beach, where he’s busy writing about passion and murder among his neighbors. To date Tom has written eighteen crime thrillers and mysteries and is probably best known for his Charlie Crawford series set in Palm Beach.

It is nice to read a story that does not have confusing spelling and grammatical errors. There are enough plot twists to keep you guessing what's next.

Was a great read once you got into it. So many people and names to keep straight in the beginning but worth the time to figure out who's who.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turner Does It Again! Masterful...

To say that everyone has a “price” in which they can be bought might not necessarily be true if you’re the owners of the Ponciana Club. When one-half of the Russian brothers, Vasily Zinoviev, propositions the president of the Ponciana Club about purchasing the club, Churchill Ames thought this man was out of his mind. To put it mildly, Ames made it perfectly clear, the Ponciana is not for sale—no way, no how! Vasily wasn’t going away that easily. Of course everyone has a price. He demanded that Ames speak with the executive committee and board members to get them to sell him the Poinciana, but much to Vasily’s surprise, Ames flat out refused. What Ames couldn’t possibly have known is that he pissed off the wrong man. There isn’t a person alive that would ever tell Vasily—No!

Meanwhile, Ames went on with his life and satisfied he told that arrogant Vasily Zinoviev that he wouldn’t dream of selling Palm Beach’s landmark building, the Ponciana Club, he decides to celebrate his victory by chilling by the pool with a gorgeous woman. His lady friend decides to take a dip in the pool and sees something moving in the water. The next thing Ames knows, he hears piercing screams and finds himself surrounded by several water moccasins. While he’s trying to figure out his next move, his lady friend is being bitten several times by the poisonous snakes. Ames felt bad for his friend, but not bad enough to try and save her. What was he to do? And that, readers, is where our story jets from there.

This was an exciting read! In fact, as I may have mentioned in my last review of Palm Beach Nasty, it reads like an old PI story of yesteryear. Turner brings to life the most shadiest characters ever to wreak havoc on Palm Beach and its residents. He even managed to throw in some new ones. What I love about Turner’s writing is how you never quite know who to trust, and there are several little stories going on at the same time. When those “little” stories come together, you get a story so out of this world, your eyes can’t soak up the words fast enough to gather all the clues and details. Charlie Crawford is a brilliant detective, and although he may not see the whole picture at first, when he does, he gets his Columbo-ish attitude going and lookout criminals, Crawford’s about to tear you a new one!

If you’re new to the Charlie Crawford series, I’m telling you this is a great series to read. What’s even more amazing is they read as standalones, but I would advise that you read Palm Beach Nasty first so that you get to know the main characters and players in the stories. Other than that, if you love a good whodunit and detective drama, this is the series to read. Well, well, done, Turner! You did it again! Awesome read!

Seems the criminals have more to fear from other criminals than from the police. I like Charlie and Ott OK but this is my second reading in the series, and I'm ready to move on to something else.
