“A bold, edgy, accomplished debut!” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network
A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to The Lost Apothecary…
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. But the apothecary’s fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.
Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a stunning twist of fate—and not everyone will survive.
With crackling suspense, unforgettable characters and searing insight, The Lost Apothecary is a subversive and intoxicating debut novel of secrets, vengeance and the remarkable ways women can save each other despite the barrier of time.

This was an amazing read. I honestly couldn’t put it down. She flawlessly jumped through time and told a phenomenal story. I almost want to re-read it right now to experience it again. Crazy right?!

Nicely paced, easy to follow the skipping between the three protagonists and a quick look into the late 18th Century.

I like this book very much. It was easy to follow the story as it went from present day 2021 to the 1791 time. I love that it’s a story of women who took matters into their own hands.
Could have been better

This book was an okay read. It kept me interested but it could’ve been better. I was a little disappointed in the end.

Starts slow, then you get to a point where you just keep on going to find out what happens.... Almost reads like a true fascinating story.
Great cross-century woman-centered story

This book scratched all kinds of itches for me! Historical fiction (eighteenth-century London),
revenge (via poison), crossing the borders of time (to present-day London and an American protagonist who is rediscovering who she is), and friendships between women who lean on one another at their most vulnerable moments. It's fast-paced and suspenseful--no wonder it was an instant NYT bestseller!

It’s been a very long time that I have loved a book as much as I love this book! I own the hard copy and the audiobook. I like to listen when I can’t read. I would also give that 5 stars! I binged read/ listened to this book in two days. I didn’t want it to end. I look forward to more books by this author! Definitely in my top 5 favorite books! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweet and twisted
