A serial killer and his copycat are locked in a violent game of cat and mouse. Can DI Anjelica Henley stop them before it's too late? Dismembered body parts from two victims have been found by the river. The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. Can she apprehend the copycat killer before Olivier finds a way to get to him first? Or will she herself become the next victim? I found this book to be a slow read with a lot of repetitive information. More backstory is needed as I felt lost at times. This book felt more like a 2nd book instead of the first in the series. I feel the book needs more editing in order for the story to flow better. Thanks to NetGalley and Hanover Square Press for a free copy for an honest review.
More than the identity of a copycat serial killer, The Jigsaw Man, the debut novel by criminal attorney Nadine Matheson, is about the psychological and personal journey of the inspector and about the almost competitive relationship between her and the original jigsaw killer. These facets keep me turning the pages until the very gruesome ending that clearly indicates more to come. Given that this is a debut novel, I look forward to seeing what the author's style develops into.
