The Jigsaw Man

The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson, 488 pages

A few years after catching a brutal serial killer who dismembered his victims, Serial Crimes Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is called to a very similar murder scene. Either the narcissistic killer she put away a few years back has a long-hidden partner, or he has a copycat; no matter what, though, she has to dive back into that horrendous case to solve this one, including visiting the killer in prison.

This was a gory police procedural, as you might imagine from the description above. So don't read it while eating, OK? That said, it's also an intriguing look at PTSD and the pressure we put on ourselves, as well as the close-knit relationships of special police operations. Not my favorite mystery novel, but it wasn't bad either.
