When I was first asked to read this book I was hesitant as the author was new to me and it sounded terrifying. However, I was rather glad I took on this book and found a wonderful writer in the process.
Book Description
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?
On the day she returns to active duty with the Serial Crimes Unit, Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is called to a crime scene. 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. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature--the arrangement of victims’ limbs in puzzle-piece shapes--he decides to take matters into his own hands.
As the body count rises, DI Anjelica Henley is faced with an unspeakable new threat. Can she apprehend the copycat killer before Olivier finds a way to get to him first? Or will she herself become the next victim?
Drawing on her experience as a criminal attorney, debut novelist Nadine Matheson delivers the page-turning crime novel of the year. Taut, vivid, and addictively sinister, The Jigsaw Man will leave you breathless until the very last page.

Have you ever watched a movie or TV show about a serial killer and been on the edge of your seat the entire time?
Yeah, me too, and reading this book was the same way. Though the author was new to me and this was he debut book I was hesitant at first. However, once I got into the book I could not put it down. It kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next.
The writer pulled me in with her descriptive tone and it made me feel as though I was walking through each crime scene.
She also gave me chills with her descriptions of the shady underground world of London and brought so much darkness to life.
Our lead detective was on point and I liked how she was able to survive and do her job even though she was suffering from PTSD.
Overall a bone-chilling, creepy, i\get under your skin kind of thriller. I could see this book coming to life on my TV screen or a movie screen.
