  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I found this Ripley story less compelling - we follow a young American runaway who has moved near Ripley and is in need of help, and I liked the idea of Ripley being a sort of mentor, but it felt slow, the plot was not as interesting as it was in previous books, and it could have been shorter and more dynamic.
