The Jigsaw Man
Inspector Anjelica Henley #1
Nadine Matheson
Reviewed by Helen
This is a really well written story, it is a thriller, mystery and is brutally descriptive but I really enjoyed getting to know DI Henley it tells of her personal life and how it effects it as she investigates the brutal murders of people whose body parts are being found around London.
When body parts start turning up first in the Thames River DI Henley is called back off desk duty to take charge of the investigation, she thought that she had already put the one they call the jigsaw killer, Peter Olivier behind bars two years ago, is this a copycat or someone working with Olivier but whatever it is Henley is determined to get to the truth no matter how hard it is going to be, she is still struggling with what happened two years ago.
Henley is given a trainee to help her on the case and she is not overly impressed but soon finds that they work well together and with the help from the other staff at SCU Serial Criminal Unit they are uncovering more information. She needs to visit Olivier in prison and that is not easy, they have more questions than answers.
Things get worse when firstly a head in a box turns up on Henley’s doorstep and Olivier escapes from prison, more bodies are turning up and the race is on to catch the killer or killers? What will it be and who will catch the killer?
I did really enjoy this story and I am late reading it but there is another book out very soon and I will be reading to see how things are going in Henley’s life and that of the other characters that that helped make this one a page turner, It is one that I would highly recommend, even if it is a bit gory in parts, the author digs deep into the souls of her characters on brings them to life the good ones and the bad ones.
My thanks to Harlequin AU for my copy to read.
