The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson
5.0
CAUTION: Details of how the bodies are dismantled are gruesome & graphic.
Synopsis: When bodies start to wash up along the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him as he is already behind bars. Can Olivier help them to find a copycat killer?
The story is HEAVY on police procedure and murder cases.
The story is chilling! I’m not easily put off but the way the author writes how each victim is killed is horrifying. The medical research that has gone into this book is impeccable.
I loved how diverse the characters were and the portrayal of DI Henley’s experiences and the stigmas she faced being a Black detective with an Asian Trainee Detective.
This book is a puzzle! I became a detective right from the start trying to work out who was the killer. I love unreliable protagonists and let’s just say that DI Anjelica Henley got on my nerves. The story explores her work life balance and she seemed to care more about her detective work than her family but as the author delves into her past, we find out why she becomes obsessed with this case and catching the killer.
