About this listen

DI Mark Tartaglia spends a night in a west London hotel with a woman he has just met. When he is called out to the same hotel the next morning to investigate a murder, he realises it must have taken place while he was there. If things weren't already complicated enough, the investigation takes a new and horrifying turn when he recognises the young female victim.

Still reeling from the shock, he learns that another case he has been investigating - the body of a homeless man found in a burnt-out car - is also not what it seems. Tests reveal that the corpse has been assembled from the body parts of four different people.

Under mounting pressure from the media and unsure where his loyalties lie, Tartaglia must solve this new macabre puzzle before the Jigsaw Killer strikes again.

An engaging novel of detection and intrigue with well drawn characters whose enchants for good or evil result in a good tale, which is enhanced by excellent narration. The author portrays the villains with subtle understanding, they are both plausible and vile and the goodies flawed, real characters who you can see. A good read, and a most attractive voice.

Engaging and beautifully read.

I bought The Jigsaw Man because I was intrigued by the title and I like a good crime story.
I haven't read any of the other stories in the Tartaglia series, but I found this one longwinded and hard to follow with all the different caracters. It also took me a long time to get used to the intonation of the narrator, which I often found irratating. Anyway, the storyline wasn't bad, so I endured and listened till the end. But I can't say I've enjoyed the Jigsaw Man.
I'd rather have read the book than listen to it and I won't buy another audiobook with this narrator.

Beter to read the book than to listen to it

Like the previous books in this series i enjoyed it from start to finish, however i think the book would have been just as good without the second story line running through it, as i would have liked more details on the the hotel murder (not wanting to give too much away), looking forward to the next Mark Tartaglia adventure

A tale of two stories

I really enjoyed this story. I found it hard to put it down. Great characters and backstories. Thrilling too. The narrator was excellent

Great book and Story

The plot was good, but couldn't relate to the characters. Not sure whether this was because if the way they had been written or the way they were narrated. Probably wouldn't listen to another book by this author it one narrated by Ric Jerrom

Decent story, mediocre narration

Yup, enjoyed this. Kept me listening with an absorbing plot, well constructed characters and professional reading.
The plot was original and interesting and although, as with most books in this genre, quite ridiculous had plausibility thanks to the quality of the telling.
The characters were well constructed individuals without the usual wild extremes of character and easy to empathize with despite their 'normalness '
The reading was unobtrusive, as it should be, with good characterization using voice, tone and accent.
My first listen to Ms Forbes but will revisit again

Entertaining page turner

What did you like most about The Jigsaw Man?

Dual story running side by side tense and at time eerie. A good all round police based drama that has you hooked from the begining.

Great book

I enjoyed the pace and action of this story. Absorbing twists and turns which held my attention till the end.

Enjoyable
