OUBC - March 2021
Caroline is in London. She was supposed to be celebrating her 10th anniversary but after discovering her husband's "secret" , she went by herself. She finds a blue vial while "mudlarking" in the Thames River and immediately starts researching this strange little bottle.
The second timeline is 1791 where we meet Nella, the apothecary, who makes well-disguised poisons for women who want to be rid of the men in their lives who have hurt them in different ways.

In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husband’s infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she can’t resist investigating, only to realize she’s found a link to the unsolved “apothecary murders” that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search, Caroline’s life collides with Nella’s and Eliza’s in a stunning twist of fate—and not everyone will survive.
