The Lost Apothecary

The novel interweaves two storylines set two centuries apart. In 18th-century London, Nella runs a secret apothecary shop hidden in a dark alley, where she dispenses well-disguised poisons to women seeking to liberate themselves from the oppressive men in their lives. Her fate becomes jeopardized when her newest customer, a precocious twelve-year-old girl named Eliza, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries. Meanwhile, in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell is spending her tenth wedding anniversary alone, grappling with the discovery of her husband's infidelity. When she stumbles upon an old apothecary vial in the River Thames, she begins to investigate the unsolved 'apothecary murders' that haunted London two hundred years prior. Her search connects her life with Nella’s and Eliza’s in a stunning twist of fate.
