The Jigsaw Man by Nadine MathesonMy rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars
The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson is book one in the Inspector Anjelica Henley series
and boy is it a page turner. We’re introduced to the Inspector as she comes
back from being on leave where she is literally thrown into a new case where dismembered
bodies are turning up with strange symbols on them. Symbols which can only mean
one thing, Peter Olivier ‘The Jigsaw Killer’ must be involved. She has already
survived him once, but can she survive him again?
This was a
great page turner with a main character who is strong yet vulnerable. We definitely
see into Anjelica’s psyche as her and her new partner try and hunt down a
killer before more people turn up dead. The twist and turns were great as we as
a reader try and figure out how people are connected and what lengths people
will go to for their own personal justice. I liked that Anjelica was flawed as
well as a woman who is trying to look after her family whilst balancing a
demanding job. Her relationship with Olivier is reminiscence of Starling and Dr
Lecter and it just makes the book!
At times the book can be quite gruesome and super intense and this keeps you wanting to turn the pages to see what is going to happen next. I also enjoyed that we saw the story from multiple points of view which really let you dig deep into certain characters and really left you wanting more. I can’t wait to see what happens to Anjelica next and I am absolutely thrilled that I’ve come across a new writer.
