The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

TBR Prompt: City setting


I chose this book for the city setting prompt, as it's set in London. It follows an apothecary called Nella, in 1791, who dispenses poisons to women across London for the purposes of disposing of men. This aspect of the story appealed to me, as we all like a little bit of female revenge, don't we? There was another POV from a woman named Caroline in the present-day, who was an American currently in London. I believe it was a pre-planned anniversary trip, but she was there alone after finding out her husband had been cheating on her. I'd only read up to the end of chapter three, but the story hadn't really grabbed me at this point, and then I read some online reviews, which persuaded me that I probably wasn't going to enjoy this book, so I've decided to DNF (yes, I'm easily influenced!)
