Summary

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?

Critic reviews

"This book is gruesomely good." (Lesley Kara, Sunday Times best-selling author of The Rumour and Who Did You Tell?)

"Crime fiction has a significant new star." (Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else’s Skin)

"So tense and dark. It has a real Silence of the Lambs vibe, and Peter Olivier is my new Hannibal Lecter. Brilliant." (Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me)

"The Jigsaw Man ranks amongst the very best debut thrillers - we’re talking top-ten territory here - I’ve read this past decade.... It evokes, vibrantly and indelibly, a world I’ve never even glimpsed, much less entered - neither in literature nor in life.... Matheson’s voice is exciting, urgent...and, now more than ever, vital." (A.J. Finn)

Gripping crime drama and brilliantly narrated. Loved every minute. Would love to see this book turned into a film.

not a wasted credit !

Hope we see another book by this writer and in this series. I initially thought the narration was a bit slow but soon became engrossed in the clever storyline. Great police proceedural writing and although a bit gruesome in places, I didn't want the book to end.

Great book, poor narration

The storyline is great and keeps momentum but the narration is quite poor in places. It distracts from the flow of the story and although I enjoyed the book and would love to keep going with the series I’m not sure if I’d want to listen to another by this narrator.

Well written and enjoyably complicated

I really enjoyed this story and unlike other reviewers thought the narration was excellent. The characters are really well drawn, and likeable which is essential for me. There’s clearly lots more back story to be told, and the plot was mostly plausible, although a bit too gruesome in places. However, I want to know more about the police characters so I’ve already got the next episode downloaded and hope this will be a long-running series.

Gruesome read

A bit graphic for me. Long but kept you thinking until the right to the end.

Highly enjoyable

Format: audiobook
Narrator: Diveen Henry

A good and highly enjoyable serial killer story.
There were grisly scenes so beware if you’re a bit squeamish. The story flows along at a good pace and the characters are good.
I’ll be looking up other books by the author.

Good narration that helped bring the characters emotions to life particularly in the more intense and grisly scenes.
