Her father, one of Stockholm's most notorious detectives, caught the Angel Maker when she was just a girl, and Jamie has long since closed the door to that part of her life.

DI Fred Fairservice has just returned from holiday when he’s confronted with several mysterious deaths; the mutilated dead body of a junkie, the apparent suicide of a housewife, and the murder of a cannibal...But the strangest element of the case is the connection to the deaths of several old men and women who are found with spiders placed in their mouths.

The day my path crossed with Simon Fox I thought I’d already lost everything, but then he almost ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes. The men in my life had undermined me for too long. Enough was enough. Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better. Wrong. Very wrong. I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with.

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)

Boring and badly narrated.
One of the poorest audible books I have downloaded. The narrator is monotonous and makes virtually no attempt to change her voice to suit the various characters she is speaking. She makes no difference when talking as a male as opposed to a female and makes no attempt to give the pathologist a strong London accent. A waste of a 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.

Really hope this will become a series!
DI Anjelica Henley caught the serial killer known as The Jigsaw Man and he is now in prison. But now someone appears to be copying his crimes and leaving body parts all around London.
This book is one hell of a thrilling ride and is well written and brilliantly plotted as well as very gruesome. Just my cup of tea! It's a nail biting game of cat and mouse and it grabbed my attention and kept hold of me until the thrilling finale. There is a hint of Silence of the Lambs when DI Henley visits the Jigsaw Man in prison, which gave me goosebumps. Can't wait for book 2 in the series!
