Serial killer - copycat - London - Hannibal Lector-ish. Fast paced. Focuses on psych of detective on the case and the serial killer. Fabulous.
I don't normally like serial killers and police procedurals, but this one was so fast paced and twisty! We got a bit of the detectives' home lives, but not too much. The detectives didn't seem too perfect or too broken either. It was a well told well balanced police procedural. So good!

“You never know though. This could still be a nice, straightforward investigation.”
Henley didn't reply as she picked up her bag, because every nerve in her body told her Pellacia believed that even less than she did.
THE JIGSAW MAN
The CSI team hadn't arrived by the time Henley had left [spoiler]'s home. Anthony was en route to a shooting on the Kingsland Road, but had promised to dispatch two of his team with unrealistic promises of paid overtime. Henley could feel the anger overwhelming her as she walked back to her car. Someone had dropped the ball and no one was taking responsibility. She was doing everything that she was trained to do, to the best of her ability, but it didn't feel as though it was enough. As if she wasn't enough.

Stanford turned his back on the body. Henley knew how he was feeling. They thought they had seen it all, until life presented them with a fresh kind of hell.
