**The million-copy bestselling queen of twists returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage ... and revenge.**

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

He calls his wife, Abby, to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes when she sees something in the road ahead. Over Grady's protests, Abby gets out of the car. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge, the headlights are on, the driver's door is open, her phone is still there ... but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can't sleep, and he can't write, so he travels to a tiny, remote Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. And then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

**A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to *The Lost Apothecary.***

In eighteenth-century London, women whisper of a hidden apothecary shop and its mysterious owner, Nella, who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. Nella's dark world is no place for her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, but their unexpected bond sparks a string of consequences that echoes through the centuries.

Two hundred years later, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell is running from her own demons when she discovers a clue to London's long-unsolved "apothecary murders." Caroline's upended present soon collides with an explosive history, binding her fate to Nella's and Eliza's in a stunning twist that transcends the barrier of time.
