Such an interesting read! The character growth for the present day FMC was so satisfying to witness. The switches between timelines was really well executed and I loved the mystery.  I did NOT see that twist coming in the end!! If you're a fan of history (specifically women in 18th century London secretly pois*ning men), mystery, and women finding their indepence and leaving toxic relationships, then I think you'll really like this one!
