Fans of CSI, Criminal Minds and The Silence of the Lambs - gather round! This creepy crime thriller is for you.
Thank you to HarperCollins Canada @marisolfokes for my gifted copy of The Jigsaw Man for review!
It's DI Anjelica Henley's first day back on active duty after being attacked by serial killer Peter Olivier. Her Day One begins with the discovery of body parts belonging to more than one body.
It resembles the work of Olivier, but he serving a life sentence in prison. Who is the copycat and what is the motivation?
For fans of crime thrillers, The Jigsaw Man cannot be missed.
It is full of strong, flawed and absolutely human characters with imperfect home lives and often disturbing backgrounds. Add in fascinating forensics, red herrings and investigation procedure and this is a win. It's a dark, compelling and complex storyline and totally unapologetic tense atmosphere. All the elements I love in a thriller.
Author Nadine Matheson has nailed it with this one, and this is the first in an intended series. I cannot wait to read her subsequent books. If this genre is your thing, absolutely recommended!
Released on March 16.
