Helpful Score: 5
A cyber terrorist tries to wrest control of a laptop computer with artificial intelligence from its creator, Bella Quintera. Her former lover, Daniel Champlain, who is an agent with the National Security Agency, reunites with her and together they combine their resources to save her and her laptop computer from the terrorist.
Jigsaw is filled with suspense and intrigue and kept me entertained from the first page to the very last page. The bigger than life characters are interesting and I cared for them a lot. The hero and the heroine are both strong willed and cling to their convictions and commitments even when those convictions and commitments are perilous to the other. The sexual tension between Bella and Daniel keeps building until they can no longer control their urges and desires.
One of the best characters in the story is Fran, Bella's interactive laptop computer possessing artificial intelligence. Even with her vastly superior intellect, Fran's sometimes childish behavior parallels that of a developing child that you can't help but love to death.
The story takes place in Michigan during its winter months and Nance vividly and evocatively used the frigid conditions to enhance the story. Many of the outside scenes had me shivering in my chair as I read.
Computer technology rises to its highest in Jigsaw. I've always feared identity theft, but Jigsaw presented something even scarier: identity creation, where a savvy computer guru hacks police computers and creates false files and charges against Bella to discredit her. In an interesting and exciting scene, Bella and Daniel enter a virtual reality game with other computer gurus devoted to the sport and I felt like I was seeing it all as a movie, because it was so vividly written.
