Publisher Description
PRAISE FOR C.J. ARCHER'S GLASS AND STEELE SERIES:
"Part romance, part mystery, part magic; all of which a joy to read." - Dreamer J's Book Reviews
"This story has everything I look for in a quality, entertaining piece of fiction. 1) A strong female lead, 2) a dark and mysterious male character (I admit, they are my weakness), 3) eloquent writing, and 4) lots of quirky humor and banter." - Danaye from Young @ Art book reviews
DESCRIPTION: THE APOTHECARY'S POISON
When a newspaper report of a medical miracle catches Matt's eye, he and India go in search of Dr. Hale in the hope he is more magical doctor than miracle worker and can lead them to Chronos. But Hale turns out to be an apothecary magician keen to educate the public about magic.
Their disappointment at not finding Chronos is soon forgotten when Hale is murdered, and Matt becomes a suspect. With Matt's nemesis Sheriff Payne influencing the investigating detective, India and Matt know they must find the real killer, or risk his freedom, and ultimately his life. Time is running out as they hunt for a killer capable of turning medicine into poison with a magic spell, as well as continue the search for Chronos. A search that must end in success before Matt's malfunctioning watch stops altogether.

Fantastic
I have loved this series, the intriguing twisting storyline is compelling
Great book
This story adds onto the other books. It’s is a good easy read.
I love this series!
I am well and truely enamoured with this series.
I’m so invested in the stories of Matt, India, Willie, Cyclops and Duke.
The world building is amazing, the character from book 1 to book 3 is so subtle that you feel as if you’re just along side for the journey.
Archer has written a book that makes me wish I was living in the 19th century despite the lack of rights, technology or freedom women had then.
Truely amazing work and I can’t wait to keep reading.
