The Lost Apothecary

Quick thoughts:
How about this beautiful cover?
Listen to this premise: “A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them—setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course.”
Told in two timelines, present day and London in the 1700s, The Lost Apothecary is atmospheric hist fic gold! Full of secrets, lies, suspense, drama, and betrayal, I loved this engrossing and juicy story from start to finish.
Genre-wise, I would say The Lost Apothecary is historical fiction with a big dash of suspense/thriller.
I received a gifted copy.

I wonder if the author was inspired by the Aqua Tofana poisoner. There’s a legend of a woman from Italy in the 1600s who sold a poison to abused women interested in killing their husbands.
I just loved this book, it was brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it, Michelle. Great review!
The cover is gorgeous! Very nice review, Jennifer! 💖
I’m glad you enjoyed this Jennifer! Interestingly, BOTM lists this as fantasy but EW has it as HF.
The first thing I thought was What a beautiful cover!, then saw that you'd beaten me to it. : )Great review, Jennifer!
Great review, Jennifer. This one is listed as Women's Fiction but it seems to be more HF and you've also mentioned thriller. Well I just requested it anyway.

I need to check the final copy and see if it has a note about that. Fascinating!
