A Dr. Lily Robinson Novel: Book 4
Publication Date: July 17, 2024
In this series finale, pathologist Dr. Lily Robinson races around the globe to hunt an assassin who, like her, finds poison the weapon of choice.
A world-renowned climatologist is found dead off the Great Barrier Reef of northern Australia weeks before he’s set to deliver his earth-shattering findings at the international Climate Council conference. Was it greed to maintain the status quo of fossil fuels—or revolutionary new science—that motivated his murder? Can Lily Robinson stop the killer before another climate scientist dies?
With operative and lover JP Marchand at her side, Lily uncovers a cunning plot that endangers world order, and changes the trajectory of her life—forever.
With the fourth and final installment of the Dr. Lily Robinson series, Dr. Lily Robinson faces her biggest challenge.
Author BJ Magnani brings the series full circle with We’ll Always Have Poison. While it technically could be read as a standalone, the recommendation is to read it in sequence to fully grasp the characters’ development.
As this installment begins, Lily is healing from injuries sustained in the last book. She’s spending time doing a lot of past reflections, which helps fill in her backstory to a certain degree. Her portions of the story are told in first person.
She gets pulled into investigating the suspicious deaths of climate scientists in what was initially thought to be related to the fossil fuel industry. Lily and her boyfriend/operative, JP Marchand, uncover a sinister plot with life-changing implications.
To fully understand the impact of the story’s conclusion, readers need a good grasp of Lily’s past and how she used her knowledge of poisons to eliminate traitors. Digging into her relationships with Charles, Rose, and JP underscores the challenges Lily has faced.
We’ll Always Have Poison delivers a no-holds-barred battle between right and wrong that threatens everything Lily holds dear.
BJ Magnani’s fascination with toxicology led her to a career in pathology and laboratory medicine. She is Professor of Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Emerita at Tufts University School of Medicine and the author of the Dr. Lily Robinson suspense thriller series (The Queen of All Poisons, The Power of Poison, A Message in Poison, We‘ll Always Have Poison and the short story collection Lily Robinson and the Art of Secret Poisoning) about a Boston physician recruited by the U.S. government as a covert assassin. A portion of the proceeds from her novels helps women receive free breast and cervical cancer screening through the College of American Pathologists Foundation.
