Industry Reviews
“Literary icon Isabel Allende mesmerizes . . . this race-against-the-clock thriller is pure magic."
People Magazine, Four Stars
"A rip-roaring, entertaining crime novel. . . . Allende remains a remarkable spinner of stories. Her prose is sparkling and graceful . . . her ability to portray passion and action undimmed. Ripper grabs you, toys with you, amuses you..."
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"There are deliciously creepy elements in Ripper, much like those in the dark Scandinavian crime novels one of its characters loves."
Seattle Times
"Thoroughly charming book. . . . A lot of fun to read."
New York Times Book Review
"It must have been surprising to discover that [Allende's] particular literary strengths - a talent for dramatization, a delight in world-building and a passion for investigating relationships between family members - lend themselves so well to a genre she's never bothered with before. I am hoping she'll continue her killings."
