“Ripper” by Shelley Burr

Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Ripper” by Shelley Burr… Here is what the QBD crew thought:

Written by Shelley Burr, one of Australia’s most talented crime fiction writers, comes QBD’s September Book of the Month, “Ripper.”

This riveting story follows Gemma – she knows that her once-charming town is now remembered for one reason and one reason only. It is the town where three innocent people died… in her innocuous little teashop. She knows that the consequences of catching the Ripper still haunt her police officer husband and their marriage to this day. Some of her neighbours are desperate – desperate enough to welcome a dark tourism company keen to cash in on their reputation as the murder town. However, when the tour operator is killed by a Ripper copycat on Gemma’s doorstep, the unease that has lurked quietly in the original killer’s wake turns to foreboding. Now, she’s drawn into the investigation. Gemma knows her town. She knows her people. Doesn’t she?

With incredibly compelling writing and climatic twists, this book will have you holding your breath, anxiously waiting for what comes next. If you adored Shelley Burr’s debut “Wake”, we highly recommend you check out “Ripper” next!
