Title : The Apothecary and the Manor of Shadows - Deryn Lake - book

Summary :

While quietly working on his preparations, apothecary John Rawlings is surprised by the unexpected entry into his shop of a panicked stranger. But it is a safe haven, not a cure, that the man needs. No sooner has the apothecary hidden him in the back room than a spectacularly beautiful woman enters. She is looking for a man who matches the fugitive's every detail. Keeping his word, Rawlings turns her away but, intrigued, decides to question the man. His name is Aidan Fenchurch, and he has been pursued for years by a former mistress, Ariadne Bussell, who follows him like a shadow. Glad to have spared him such fury, Rawlings is shocked to learn a few days later that the man has been found dead. Everything points to Mrs. Bussell, but she will soon succumb to what looks alarmingly like poisoning. As the victims pile up, John Rawlings, determined to convict the culprit(s), opens the investigation that leads him to the heart of Surrey.
