I’ve completed 17 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles in the past 14 weeks. Mostly by myself.

“End of Story,” by A. J. Finn (William Morrow)
A. J. Finn’s “The Woman in the Window” was a huge best-seller. “End of Story” is destined to be, too. It’s a mystery more than a thriller, and a tightly crafted page-turner.
