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?

Summary

This book was awesome. I loved everything about it. Found me a new best author.

Wow! just wow!

I didn't see that coming. I thought I predicted then end. ......I didn't. One of the best books I have listened to. Narrator and story were great!

Graphic!

I love this author and all of the books that I have read by her, which is actually only two. But I plan on reading all of them. This book was/is Amazing, and flipping crazy! One of the best books that I have read in a long time! However with that being said I wasn't prepared for certain parts and none of the reviews that I read mentioned anything about rape and some graphic murder scenes. Just an FYI for those of you that could be triggered negatively by this...

Wow!

This book was dark, intelligent, and had me on the edge of my seat. So many I interesting plot twists! I’m now downloading all her books.

good

lots of twist and turns. I really enjoyed it. They keep you guessing until the very end.

Awesome book!

Loved this book. Well written. A few little details bugged me, but overall this book was awesome!

Unbelievable!

I never expected the turn of events that took place throughout the entire book! Amazing! Magnificent! Awesome!

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in 2 years!

5 stars…would be more if I could! This is the best audiobook I have listened to in two years. It pulled me in from the very beginning. I highly recommend!

Smart book but an obvious ending.

I really liked this book most of the way through. The narrator was good and the story was intriguing, however it fell apart at the end for me. The story went on WAY too long after the ‘twist’ is figured out and I found myself saying ‘hurry it up and let’s end this thing’ for the last 45 minutes or so. Would I recommend it? Maybe...

Kind of gory, but....

I love a good psychological thriller, and although this one was a little gorier than what I usually listen to and multiple topics were very unsettling, it was definitely an excellent listen if that is your preferred genre
