The Christmas Jigsaw Murders by Alexandra Benedict
2.0
Eighty year old Edie has turned into a recluse who avoids all of her neighbours, except for one. One morning, she receives a weird package from an anonymous stranger, containing jigsaw puzzle pieces. The puzzle is incomplete, but it represents a murder scene. She must solve the puzzle with the help of her son Sean, a detective inspector, in order to save the life of the target...
I have read The Christmas Murder Game by this author last year, and I absolutely loved it! So when I saw this one, I had to get my hands on it. Sadly, it fell flat for me. I'm not sure the audio book was the best format to get the full experience (to solve the puzzles in the book), none of the charcaters are likable, and the ending came out of left field, which I hate in a mystery, because there was no way for the reader to guess who the murderer was. I liked the sillyness and lightness (despite the murders), but I would recommend The Christmas Murder Game before I'll ever recommend this one.
I received an advance review copy of this book for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
