About this listen

A modern-day homicide detective is working as an undertaker's assistant in Victorian Scotland when a serial poisoner attacks the men of Edinburgh and leaves their widows under suspicion.

Edinburgh, 1869: Modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson is adjusting to her new life in Victorian Scotland. Her employers know she’s not housemaid Catriona Mitchell—even though Mallory is in Catriona’s body—and Mallory is now officially an undertaker’s assistant. Dr. Duncan Gray moonlights as a medical examiner, and their latest case hits close to home. Men are dropping dead from a powerful poison, and all signs point to the grieving widows… the latest of which is Gray’s oldest sister.

Poison is said to be a woman’s weapon, though Mallory has to wonder if it’s as simple as that. But she must tread carefully. Every move the household makes is being watched, and who knows where the investigation will lead.

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong is known for her exquisite world building, and this latest series is no exception. The Poisoner's Ring brings the intricacies of Victorian Scotland alive as Mallory again searches for a 19th-century killer as well as a way home.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Critic reviews

"Armstrong’s intriguing and atmospheric time-travel mystery will appeal to readers who enjoy historical detail."–Library Journal (starred review)

"Armstrong fashions a satisfying narrative out of familiar parts and nails her lead’s cheeky, anachronistic narration. This is winningly silly and satisfying."–Publishers Weekly

Still loving it!!

This was not as good as the first book in the series but still enjoying it. what I didn't enjoy was the audio 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ In some chapters, at the beginning of the sentences, there would be missing words. At first I thought, maybe I was reading at a high speed and it wasn't catching the beginning of what they were saying, do I changed speeds but the same problem remained. very frustrating 😕, luckily I also have the ebook, so I was reading it and listening. And yeah, on some sentences 3 words would be missing. So not sure if I would waste my money with the audio for the next book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
