In eighteenth-century London, there's a hidden apothecary shop that caters to women who need help to deal with the men in their lives. A mysterious figure named Nella sells the well-disguised poisons in secret. 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 trying to escape 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.
The Lost Apothecary is a tale of poison and revenge. Sarah Penner weaves together three women’s stories in two different timelines. This riveting debut will have you under its spell until the very last page.
