This book started a little slow but once I got a few chapters in, I was hooked. The concept of an apothecary in the 1700’s having been run by a woman in order to help women kill the men who treated them poorly is such a creative and fascinating concept for a novel. This book makes use of shifting narrators, including one from present day, which I really enjoyed for the telling of this story. I enjoyed the ending. The characters were likeable & the story was engaging.
