In this the last book in The Greek Letters Quartet and the final book of the whole series JIGSAW, the characters who made their presence felt in the 200 years family saga take their bow. Rosalind, whose life has never been easy, seems to tap into a rich seam of luck when she finds papers relating to her ancestor Samuel Carr and links to her former lovers, yet perhaps even at the end she will be denied total nirvana. Her eldest child, ever the entrepreneur, pursues his quest to purchase a tall ship but runs up against a seemingly sinister consortium in the Peloponnese. This complex thrilling story set in the Mediterranean, mainland Greece and NW England is interwoven with a reprise of the 19th century tales of the first books in the Quartet, but through the eyes of the Greek protagonists and main antagonist rather than the English characters in the first part of the saga. Weaving these elements together brings an extraordinary twist to the story.
The years around the millennium is an era of early climate change debates, of soul searching psychological therapy, of easy money and this family does not get let off lightly.
This book, as with all the novels from the pen of Suzi Stembridge, is complete in itself and can be read independently of the others in the series.
