I just finished reading book 4 of the year: A Poisoner's Tale" by Cathryn Kemp.
This book was gripping, filled with intrigue, and the detail of the 1650s was stunning.
This book follows a coven of women who run an apothecary in Rome during the height of the Inquisition. By day the dispense folk remedies and cosmetics. By night they dispense a deadly poison to free downtrodden women from their abusive husbands. But as time goes on the inquisitors get closer. #books #bookstodon
