A puzzling new Christmas mystery from USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Benedict!

Rest. In. Pieces.

On 1st of December, renowned puzzle setter, loner, and Christmas curmudgeon Edie O'Sullivan finds a hand-delivered present on her doorstep. Unwrapping it, she finds a jigsaw box and, inside, six jigsaw pieces. When fitted together, the pieces show part of a crime scene—blood-spattered black and white tiles and part of an outlined body. Included in the parcel is a message: 'Four, maybe more, people will be dead by midnight on Christmas Eve, unless you can put all the pieces together and stop me.' It's signed Rest In Pieces.

Edie contacts her nephew, DI Sean Brand-O'Sullivan, and together they work to solve the clues. But when a man is found near death with a jigsaw piece in his hand, Sean fears that Edie might be in danger and shuts her out of the investigation. As the body count rises, however, Edie knows that only she has the knowledge to put together the killer's murderous puzzle.

Only by fitting all the pieces together will Edie be able to stop a killer—and finally lay her past to rest.

Delightful!

I didn't like any of the characters. Plus I didn't find the police plots believable. The story was mostly slow and then the ending felt too fast.

I might be the wrong audience, but...

I understand that the protagonist has a redemption arc, but it was hard to root for someone so unlikable.

The story itself could’ve used an editor, and a few re-writes.

Convoluted and silly

"The Christmas Jigsaw Murders" uses word play to hint at the mystery, which is difficult to uncover until the end, as well as to add brief lapses of humor. The narrator further adds to the story with a voice that so nicely matches the main character in sass and intelligence.
