\nA fe male apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them - setting three lives across centuries on a dangerou s collision course.

another woman.

\nIn present-day London\, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding an niversary alone\, reeling from the discovery of her husband&rsquo\;s infid elity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames\, she c an&rsquo\;t resist investigating\, only to realize she&rsquo\;s found a li nk to the unsolved &ldquo\;apothecary murders&rdquo\; that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search\, Caroline&rsquo\;s life collides with Nella&rsquo\;s and Eliza&rsquo\;s in a stunning twist of fa te - and not everyone will survive.
