Listeners are transported to 1843 London through Elizabeth Jasicki's narration. Apothecary Lucinda Peterson hires agent Jonathan Thorne to investigate a theft after a former beau patents a formula she invented. The listener is also introduced to a slew of secondary characters, including Lucinda's siblings and customers, as well as Thorne's daughter and co-workers. Jasicki excels at expressing the characters' range of emotions. However, many of the male characters have a similar tone or timbre and at times are difficult to identify. As many chapters or sections are introduced by conversations without context, it's often confusing until contextual clues are provided. B.E.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
