The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, was an interesting read. The story surrounding an apothecary serial killer, was intriguing and I kept wanting to know more about Nelle and Eliza’s stories. However, I struggled with the actions/motivations of some of the characters. It felt like they occasionally did something that just didn’t mesh with the picture that had been painted of them previously. I also felt like sometimes sections of the book were more wordy than they needed to be. Overall, the plot and mystery surrounding the apothecary story keep me reading and wanting to see what happened.
