Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts is the story of three best friends: one who was murdered, one who went to prison, and one who's been searching for the truth all these years . . .

When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong—one of the most popular girls in school—disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.

But fourteen years later, Angela Wong's remains are discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home. And Kaiser—now a detective with Seattle PD—finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.

To the authorities, Calvin is a serial killer. But to Geo, he's something else entirely. Back in high school, Calvin was Geo's first love. Turbulent and often volatile, their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met right up until the night Angela was killed.

For fourteen years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For fourteen years, she carried the secret of Angela's death until Geo was arrested and sent to prison.

While everyone thinks they finally know the truth, there are dark secrets buried deep. And what happened that fateful night is more complex and more chilling than anyone really knows. Now the obsessive past catches up with the deadly present when new bodies begin to turn up, killed in the exact same manner as Angela Wong.

How far will someone go to bury her secrets and hide her grief? How long can you get away with a lie? How long can you live with it?

Excellent narration, complex story

I really enjoyed the narrator, she was able to realistically portray male characters. Compelling story drew me in immediately; the layers unfolded slowly enough to get to know the characters and become invested in the story, but progressed quickly enough so that the theories and reveals kept me engaged. Dark and morbid at times, but overall a very intriguing and unique story. Highly recommend!

I loved it!

the writing was great, the characters well developed and even though I figured it out near the end, it was still a really solid story

Interesting story

Great narrator, does good voices. somewhat predictable story but unfolded in a compelling way. I think this was a good listen.

So great!

I listen to a lot of murder mysteries and this was one of the best ones, love a good twist!

Good writing and narration but...

Good writing kept me listening. Good narration but all the " bad things" put into the story never end! If that was less or different then I would of liked it more.

best book thus far! The narration is 5 stars!

Great book from start to finish.
I was on the edge of my seat and the narration is perfect

Jar of Hearts

I really enjoyed this book! The author did a great job of developing the characters and storyline. It was exciting from beginning to end. The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life too. I could barely put it down. I will have to check out more from this author.

Outstanding!!!

I looooooved this book. Narration, storyline, character development...this book has it all and then some!!! My favorite audiobook to date and I’ve listened to ALOT...bravo!!!!

Great book!

The plot kept twisting which kept you fully engaged. My first book from this author, now I’m looking for the next one to listen to!

Excellent thriller

This author is one of my new faves. Although she doesn't have many books out there yet (5 i believe) she seems to be perfecting her craft. I loved this one and 'Little Secrets' (her two newest)! This jumps back in forth in time but it is actually a fast paced thriller (which is harder to accomplish when books have the then and now time jumps)! I couldn't wait to find out what happened then AND now! I didn't want to stop listening. There was an unexpected twist at the end which i personally did not like (what happened) BUT i can appreciate not seeing it coming! This book was seriously great.
