There's a serial killer on the loose.

When bodies start washing up along the banks of the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him; Olivier is already behind bars, and Henley was the one who put him there.

The race is on before more bodies are found.

She’d hoped she’d never have to see his face again, but Henley knows Olivier might be the best chance they have at stopping the copycat killer. But when Olivier learns of the new murders, helping Henley is the last thing on his mind . . .

Will it take a killer to catch the killer?

Now all bets are off, and the race is on to catch the killer before the body count rises. But who will get there first – Henley, or the Jigsaw Killer?

    Blutig und brutal 🔪

    So ziemlich, was man bei dem Titel erwartet. Dazu eine toughe Ermittlerin, die mit ihrer Vergangenheit und der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie struggelt. Ein Fall, der immer komplexer wird, aber meiner Meinung nach in groben Zügen dennoch recht bald absehbar war 🔎 Ein solider Krimi, absolut tauglich um das Fantasy-Hirn mal ein bisschen zu reseten. Danke Marlene für das Buch 📚

    4,5/5⭐️ Ein spannender und fesselnder Thriller!

    „Jigsaw Man“ war ein wirklich guter Thriller! Das Buch hat mich durchgehend gefesselt, hat mich mit rätseln lassen und war spannend bis zur letzten Seite! Das war genau das Buch was ich gebraucht habe, um aus meiner Leseflaute zu kommen. Nadine Matheson konnte mich catchen und die „Jigsaw Man“ Reihe werde ich definitiv weiter verfolgen :)

    War ok, die Ermittlerin war mir sehr unsympathisch. Man hatte wirklich das Gefühl einen 2. Teil zu lesen, war zwischendurch etwas verwirrend.
