Book club questions for The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson

Use these discussion questions to guide your next book club meeting.

What did you think of the prologue? Do you like to be plunged straight into the action (or, in this case, straight into a gruesome murder inquiry) or do you prefer to be eased slowly into a story?
First and foremost, what did you think of Inspector Anjelica Henley and the cast of characters? Did you like Ramouteur as her trainee/partner? Were there any other characters you particularly did or didn’t like?
How did you feel about Anjelica’s relationship with her husband Rob? How does it compare to her relationships with the other characters in the book?
What did you think about Olivier? Do you think he made a compelling villain?
Why do you think Olivier was so obsessed with Henley?
When confidential information about the case began to leak, which member of the SCU or wider team did you suspect of being the mole?
The book shows us several different reactions from the jurors from Olivier’s first trial. How do you think you’d react to being told your life might be in danger?
Did you have any suspicions about who was behind the killings? Did they change as the book went on?
How did you feel about the ending? Was there anything you wished had turned out differently? Were you left with any questions?
There are now two books in the Inspector Henley series with a third coming out in May. Do you think you’ll read the other books?
