"In this addictive and spectacularly imagined debut, 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.""Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman."
"Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary’s register."
Well, who am I to judge...Heck -Revenge is Sweet...
Now, this is going to take us all back to deeper, darker, disturbing times to 1791 London's Apothecary Shop where brews like this were created with Nella as the shop's owner.
Nella (ghost) was a well respected healer; who switched programs to help women find more than just comfort in death and that's even moreso, now that a new 12 yo patron named Eliza threatens to expose many women's names on that register.
Turning to present day we find an aspiring historian named Caroline who uncovers the Apothecary vile near the Thames River in London on her 10th anniversary with nothing to celebrate from her marriage after uncovering her spouse is unfaithful.
All three of these women are now connected on a much more disturbing level and not everyone may make it out alive.
Well, you know the old saying,"Hell Have No Fear Like A Woman Scorned...Proceed with Caution!
This was a gem that was nurtured, protected, and loved from start to finish.
A great read for 2020!
Enjoy...
Thank you to Sarah, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
