Christopher Rowe is back and there are more puzzles, riddles, and secrets to uncover in this follow-up to the Indie Next pick The Blackthorn Key, which was called a “spectacular debut” by Kirkus Reviews in a starred review.
The Black Death has returned to London, spreading disease and fear through town. A mysterious prophet predicts the city’s ultimate doom—until an unknown apothecary arrives with a cure that actually works. Christopher’s Blackthorn shop is chosen to prepare the remedy. But when an assassin threatens the apothecary’s life, Christopher and his faithful friend Tom are back to hunting down the truth, risking their lives to untangle the heart of a dark conspiracy.
And as the sickness strikes close to home, the stakes are higher than ever before…

The Black Death Is Making a MARK!
Series is so epic, love love the characters and plot. This addition to the Blackthorn Key was like triple the excitement and anticipation of the first. I wasn’t sure how the second could top the first, but boy was I wrong! I loved how Sally Deschamps made her way into this book, becoming a main character which was so fun. I’m a Sally Fan. Her optimistic, sweet personality I feel clicks well with Christopher’s hard thinking, code cracking, puzzle solving, action packed mind and I feel she calms him with her gentle singing and humming. Tom Bailey Is also so great and he honestly deserves a shout out for his constant assistance in Christopher’s “schemes”. Such fun characters, such a great plot, such a UNEXPECTED suspect. I mean you WILL NOT regret reading this. Come on, join this adventure. Thanks Mr. Sands for giving me a story to completely enter into. I feel like I was there.
Horrible terrible
Waste of money don’t buy it, I would rather read a book of ads than this
But if wasting money is your thing then this book is for you
