Gah, this book! This story has literally had me engrossed the last few days and to say I’m buzzing is an understatement! I have to get this all down before my perimenopausal brain forgets lol 
 
First time reading Nadine and I was fascinated to see that she is in fact a criminal solicitor…so nothing is held back and the gruesome scenes are pretty…well gruesome lol. I have no issues when watching or reading about crime scenes etc but listening to it via audio, it was a different ball game and I’m not gonna lie, it’s the first time I’ve felt really queasy 🤢😳
 
DI Angelica Henley caught and arrested the Jigsaw man/k!ller a few years ago. Since that case, Angelica hasn’t been back on a full blown case as she was injured by the k!ller, she lost a colleague, her mother, had a baby, she’s a wife and basically has been struggling with PTSD from the case. 

However, body parts are appearing on the streets of London and they all show signs of a possible copy cat k!ller of the Jigsaw man. Angelica and the rest of the serious crimes unit now race against time to catch this new k!ller. Is there a connection? The only way to find out is for Angelica to face her old nemesis who’s locked up in prison; Peter Olivier…the Jigsaw Man 😳
 
This story was incredible and it really played out like a TV show (it needs to be on TV!!). Think Luther or even the new Amazon show, Cross and you’ll have the Jigsaw Man!
