Summary: Not his best
Comment: This is the second Zubro mystery I have read, and it was not near as good as the first one, "Another Dead Teenager." However, I am not deterred from reading all of his work, and I will continue to purchase the new ones as they are published.
What I criticized in "Another Dead Teenager" I found to be much worse in "Political Poison," and that is Zubro's continually interjecting explanations for a character's actions or of police procedure. It was a moderate bother in the other book, but in "Political Poison" it is a major impediment to enjoying the book. The editing was slipshod as well, with many typos and other errors in the text. Zubro apparently has improved at telling his stories by letting the characters reveal what is going on, rather than stepping into and stopping the flow to provide an explanation.
Most mystery readers are savvy enough to know how things work, and don't need constant reminders on why police do the things they do.
If you haven't read any of Zubro's work before, don't start with this one. He is a much better mystery writer than what this novel exemplifies.
