A Jigsaw In Exile is an elegantly written character-driven novel that slowly draws you into the mystery of Robert—a man who’s more ghost than presence, yet leaves a profound imprint on everyone he meets. Told through the lens of different lives and memories, the book unfolds like pieces of a puzzle scattered across the backdrop of gritty, vibrant 1990s London. I loved how each vignette gave me just a bit more to work with, making me question everything I thought I knew about Robert and the people orbiting around him. It felt like I was eavesdropping on secrets that weren’t mine, and I couldn’t stop reading.

Okay, real talk—A Jigsaw In Exile had me chasing clues like a stylish detective in Doc Martens. 😎 Robert is that guy who shows up, says something cryptic, smirks, and disappears—and somehow leaves everyone wondering what just happened. Each chapter is like a little confessional, juicy and aching, slowly building this moody, artsy collage of a man you’ll love, hate, and want to track down yourself. It's weirdly addictive, haunting in a cool way, and I honestly couldn’t put it down. Mystery with swagger? Yes please. 🧩✨
