A review by singjunebug
Ripper by Isabel Allende

3.0

Definitely not a typical mystery-thriller novel until the very last part. Most of the work is made up of background information of the various characters, Allende giving them all distinct personalities and histories. It was interesting enough, but a little frustrating, as it felt that I was waiting for the plot to start. There wasn't a lot of action, until that very end part, but it wasn't a boring book.

The ending was more exciting, and the reveal of the killer was satisfying and well paced. Some of it was predictable, but it was a decent read.
