The Lost Apothecary

If you see your wife reading this book, ask yourself if you are doing all you can to make her happy :)

This book I listened to on audiobook while I gardened. I had 2 hours of work to do but stretched it to the entire length of the book. My family couldn't believe how hard I worked (I turned the same patch of the garden several times–ha!).

I found both the current timeline and the past timeline engaging. I love books with strong female protagonists and we had three here (two past, one present). The premise of going to a chemist to take care of the man who wronged you is dark and fun at the same time. Who hasn't secretly plotted the demise of a bully or jerk? But it wasn't handled flippantly. There was mystery, intrigue, chases, and secrets. What more could you ask for?

You could ask that the ending surprise you. Bingo!
Read this book. You will love it.
