In a Shropshire library, an unfinished jigsaw stays out from one Monday to the next. Nobody counts how much work you did. You are welcome to spend an hour turning one red piece in your hand if what you really needed was somebody across the table. Three couples find it easier to speak when neither has to look straight at the other.
Nessa never gets to the library until late. Someone keeps saving her the difficult red corner. Rory, who claims all jigsaws look like chopped-up postcards, has a suspiciously precise opinion on where the piece should go. The free companion novella is The Piece in His Shirt Pocket.
A piece found in a pocket starts the custom. Two regulars court across a red corner, a swapped picture brings strangers together, and the librarian who welcomes everybody takes a turn in the spare chair.
The direction is set. The books are written after you order.
Fred discovers a jigsaw piece in his clean shirt. Irene has been doing his washing since his wife died and now looks oddly embarrassed about the pocket. It would be quite a thing to have been asked on a date without noticing.
Nessa never gets to the library until late. Someone keeps saving her the difficult red corner. Rory, who claims all jigsaws look like chopped-up postcards, has a suspiciously precise opinion on where the piece should go.
Simmy has nearly finished a picture of the village pond when Lewis points out that the lid shows a ruined castle. His offer to hunt down the right box takes them through six cupboards and at least one extremely nosy aunt.
Aubrey comes home to find Kath making tea while everybody else works the puzzle. When he leaves the edges out on purpose, she finally sits down to show him how it’s done. He remembers liking her bossy voice even more than he expected.
The opening couple starts saving a piece for the next Monday. A new volunteer mistakes Book 1’s red corner for a declaration.
