"Well-written and engaging.The twists and turns are excellent, and the author ratchets up the suspense with every chapter."--NPR "Expertly depicted.[a] heartpounding work of suspense."--Booklist "Matheson has a keen instinct for keeping the pages turning."--New York Times Book Review "Fiendishly clever."--Crime Reads "A taut and addictive thriller."--POPSUGAR "Buckle up, readers! From the first scene, Nadine Matheson takes us on a heart-pounding roller coaster ride.
From the aftermath of a grizzly crime to the hunt for a mad genius, The Jigsaw Man will take your breath away again and again. In DI Henley, Matheson has given us a smart, modern heroine. I hope this is only the first of many adventures for her."--Tami Hoag, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boy "I love a good cat and mouse between a detective and a killer, and Nadine Matheson's thriller debut The Jigsaw Man fits the bill. The relationship between DI Anjelica Henley and Peter Olivier is perfectly creepy--not to mention Olivier's freaky copycat slaughtering his way through London. From the shocking opening to the explosive ending, I couldn't look away. The chilling storyline, intense characters, vivid prose, and unflinching crime scenes make Matheson the heir apparent to Mo Hayder and Thomas Harris. Smashing!"--J.
T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author "Nadine Matheson knows how to grab her reader's attention from the opening page and doesn't let go.The Jigsaw Manis smart, deftly plotted, and expertly paced, filled with characters you'll love, and others who'll make your skin crawl (and leave the lights on!). With a tale that's dark, devious and deliciously twisted, Matheson brings a fresh new voice to crime fiction that I can't wait to hear more from."--Hannah Mary McKinnon, author of The Neighbors "Crime fiction has a significant new star."--Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin "The Jigsaw Man is 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 "Elegantly grim and irresistibly gruesome. And I could not turn the pages fast enough. The talented Nadine Matheson skillfully balances complex characters with a relentless story--this is a page-turner of the highest order. Not since Silence of the Lambs has there been such an excruciatingly chilling villain playing high-stakes cat-and-mouse with such a tenacious and relatable sleuth. Standing ovation for The Jigsaw Man!"--Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of The Murder List "I was gobsmacked to note that this nerve-racking, jaw-dropping, grisly, accomplished police procedural was Matheson's debut. Not only is the serial killer a fully fleshed out character (sorry, not sorry), but Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is as worthy an opponent for a serial killer as Clarice or Tony Hill."--Minneapolis Star Tribune Excellent.it's the small things in Matheson's work that add up to the unforgettable.
Definitely a new writer to watch."--Globe and Mail.
