Beloved Poison

Beloved Poison by Thomson, E. S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781683242642.

St. Saviour’s Infirmary awaits demolition. Within its stinking wards and cramped corridors, the doctors bicker and backstab. Ambition, jealousy, and loathing seethe beneath the veneer of professional courtesy. Always an outsider, and with a secret of her own to hide, apothecary Jem Flockhart observes everything but says nothing. And then, six tiny coffins are uncovered, inside each a handful of dried flowers and a bundle of moldering rags. When Jem comes across these strange relics hidden inside the infirmary’s old chapel, her quest to understand their meaning opens a long-forgotten past — with fatal consequences.
