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. 0aPharmacistsvFiction926176 0aMurdervFiction925440 0aMurderxInvestigationvFiction97769 0aSecrecyvFiction925722 0aLondon (England)vFiction924106 0aLondon (England)xHistoryy18th centuryvFiction926177 0aMystery fiction922735 0aHistorical fiction922722  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-10-15l0oP-EN PENpB07696r2025-10-15t1w2025-10-15y1  c5051d5051
