Ripper : a Novel
The New York Times Book Review – Marilyn Stasio
Isabel Allende says that Ripper is her first murder mystery, and that it was a lot of fun to write. It's probably more accurate to say that this…thoroughly charming book is the author's own eccentric notion of a murder mystery, and that it's a lot of fun to read. Also, it features a teenage sleuth…who is pretty much irresistible.
