Hidden down a dark alley in 1791 London is an apothecary unlike any other. Nella once used her knowledge to heal, but now she secretly dispenses carefully disguised poisons to women desperate to escape the men who have wronged them. Her rules are simple: never harm another woman, and record every name in her hidden register.
When twelve-year-old Eliza enters Nella’s shop, an unexpected friendship forms, and one mistake threatens to expose the apothecary and every woman whose secret she has protected.
More than two centuries later, Caroline Parcewell arrives in London alone after discovering her husband’s infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the River Thames, her curiosity leads her into the mystery of the long-unsolved apothecary murders—and directly into the forgotten stories of Nella and Eliza.
Atmospheric, mysterious, and deliciously dark, The Lost Apothecary is a story about betrayal, revenge, female friendship, hidden histories, and women reclaiming power in worlds determined to deny it to them.
