Audiobook Summary-

Kelley Armstrong's The Poisoner's Ring is an engaging historical mystery novel that people tend to look for with words such as "The Poisoner's Ring book summary" and "Kelley Armstrong Rip Through Time series." In this second book of the Rip Through Time series, contemporary homicide detective Mallory Atkinson continues to be stuck in 1869 Edinburgh, using the body of housemaid Catriona Mitchell. Now an assistant to undertaker Dr. Duncan Gray, Mallory finds herself caught up in a baffling case: men throughout the city are being killed by a powerful poison, and suspicion falls on their widows. The case becomes personal when Dr. Gray's own sister is accused of killing her husband. As Mallory learns to navigate the complexities of Victorian society, she uses her 21st-century detective skills to solve the mystery of the deaths. The case confronts her with the question of whether the poisonings are the product of lone women in search of escape or an extension of a more evil plot. In addition to the murder mystery, the book explores issues of gender roles, societal expectations, and the restrictions placed on women at the time. The Poisoner's Ring skillfully combines time-travel with a good whodunit, providing readers with a richly detailed environment and a heroine who has to reconcile her modern sensibilities with the restrictions of the past.
