The Christmas Jigsaw Murders by Alexandra Benedict (Simon & Schuster, 2023)
Crime Fiction
Alexandra Benedict’s tale, The Christmas Jigsaw Murders (ISBN: 9781398525375), is described as ‘deliciously dark’: it’s the 19th December and puzzle-setter Edie O’Sullivan finds a present left for her on her doorstep. It’s a jigsaw. The six pieces in the box show part of a crime scene, complete with blood splatter and a body outline, and a promise that four more people are to die unless Edie can solve the puzzle.
