Would I read more my this author? Yes
First of I want to say a huge thank you to the publisher Park Row Books/HarperCollins -HARLEQUIN – Trade Publishing (U.S. & Canada), the author Sarah Penner , and to NetGalley for inviting me to join the blog tour for this book as well as letting me read and review it.When I first got the email about this is it already had three things going for 1: was the beautiful cover and second it was historical fiction ( one of my favorite genres to read) and the 3rd thing was it a woman serial killer in .And that's all I need to know, what can I say when it comes to pick what I want to read and its something that catches my eye its either one of five things : the cover, the title, the author, or its part of a series I'm reading , or there's something in the synopsis of the book ( but mostly its first four things listed since I love going in blind and not known to much about the book) . And this time around it was the cover, the genre and just the word woman serial killer. As I started reading it I was pulled into the story and there was no turning back. And it was all thinks to how the author intertwined Nella and Caroline’s stories so well that you just fell for both characters and just wanted the best for them.

About the Book:
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. Pitched as Kate Morton meets The Miniaturist, The Lost Apothecary is a bold work of historical fiction with a rebellious twist that heralds the coming of an explosive new talent.
A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to The Lost Apothecary…
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. 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.
