“Jigsaw” is Jonathan Kellerman’s latest novel. This one looked like a slam-dunk: a young woman found dead at her kitchen table, DNA on cigarette butts linking to an ex-boyfriend with a criminal record. Then everything changed and it turned into a mind-bending whodunit. That’s when homicide lieutenant Milo Sturgis called in psychologist Alex Delaware, his best friend and a long-term consultant on ‘those cases’ – the ones that were different. “Jigsaw” is also available digitally in Libby.
