I try to avoid getting hooked on series but I fell into this trap.  A Poison Tree is a wonderful prequel to "Everyone Burns".  I think it would be unwise to read this book before "Everyone Burns" as this book contains spoilers. But having read "Everyone Burns" this book provides much needed background and answers many questions.The first part of the book is slow moving, but the descriptive writing kept me going until the action and excitement hit later on.  Suspense just kept creeping in.  The characters unfolded before my eyes and the intertwining of lives is so intriguing.  I could identify many of the characters that appear in the first book.The literary quality of the book and the character's philosophies are enough on their own, but when you add in the suspenseful tale that emerges, this book surpasses all expectations.
