March 2021 Indie Next Pick and #1 LibraryReads Pick "A bold, edgy, accomplished debut!" --Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network 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. Don't miss THE LONDON SÉANCE SOCIETY! Sarah's next spellbinding book about truth, illusion and the grave risks women will take to avenge the ones they love.

"Spellbinding... Like in a well-brewed potion, all the ingredients have been given exactly the right level of care and time, and the result is a novel that simply overwhelms with its delicate spell." --Bookpage "Enthralling... Musical prose... A completely absorbing story of the power of secrets and finding one's way." --Historical Novel Review, A Best Book of the Month Pick "In The Lost Apothecary, Sarah Penner convincingly weaves three heroines and two timelines into one tale of poison, revenge, and the silent network of women helping other women in a world stacked against them.... A bold, edgy, accomplished debut!" --Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress "Dark, clever, and wickedly fun, The Lost Apothecary is a true page-turner.

An enthralling work of mystery, murder, trust, and betrayal. Set in an atmospheric London, Penner's immersive story flows skillfully from past to present, revealing the heartaches and lost dreams of three captivating main characters in a page-turningly tense drama that surprises right up until the final paragraph." --NPR "Engrossing, with rich detail, assured pacing and effective suspense." --Tampa Bay Times "Spellbinding...

  • Should be required reading for women of all ages!

    "The Lost Apothecary" is a compelling story that moves from the 18th century to the 21st, with three women crossing paths. Absolutely a compelling story that's hard to put down. The story gives insight into the plight of women in the late 1700s in England, where they were little more than property. Sarah Penner delivers jaw-dropping tales of women seeking revenge, relying on an apothecary who secretly provides poisons. a 5-star read!

  • Great find!

    Stumbled upon this book while searching for another book, as a gift. Bought it because the value was good, and I’m glad! I haven’t read for pleasure in nearly ten years and this book captivated me pretty quickly. I’m only about halfway through but I’m already kinda sad that I am, so I’m enjoying it :)

  • The Lost Apothecary -One of the very best 2021 Mysteries

    This is a terrific mystery told in alternating chapters between 1791 England & the current day Smart, engaging & mostly steers clear of some old tropes
