Ripper by Isabel Allende
3.0

I heard Isabel Allende read from the first few chapters at an event in New York and I still heard the beginning in her voice. I love her work, but I don't think thrillers are her genre. The middle got caught up in unnecessary and repetitive character details. There were flashes of her usual brilliance, also chunks that barely held my interest. By the end, though, I was fully invested in the story, because fundamentally Allende is a magnificent storyteller.
