    About this audiobook

    "Hillier's plotting is everything you want in this novel — thoughtfully crafted and finely paced with enough hooks to keep you in a state of anticipation...January LaVoy has the vocal versatility to give distinct voices to all the key characters." — NJ.com

    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?

    More praise for Jar of Hearts:

    "...listeners will be captivated by this audio version of Hillier's standout thriller...LaVoy's masterful reading is gripping; she elicits both sympathy and loathing for a protagonist who is part femme fatale and part wronged woman. A riveting production." — Booklist, starred review

    "Jar of Hearts grabs you by the throat! The perfect blend of riveting characters, chilling details, and gasping twists in this standout thriller will keep you frantically reading until the explosive end.” – Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Right Behind You

      Great storytelling. It kept the reader guessing. Narration was fantastic
    • 2/5
      I’m so disappointed in this book. I read all the good reviews on Goodreads and suggested this book for book club. That is the only reason I continued this book. There was nothing thrilling or suspenseful about it. The twist wasn’t at all surprising and it felt like it would never end.

    • 5/5
      I can’t believe it took me so long to finally read this book. So freaking good!

      Jar of Hearts is the kind of burning suspense that tugged at my emotions while keeping me on edge.

      Often books of this genre give us well developed characters or a complex plot. Hillier provides both. I was hooked from beginning to end.

If you're into this style/genre of books I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. Basically ANYTHING by this author. But be warned there are triggers in almost all of her books.

      Amazing! This is my first Jennifer Hillier novel and this did not disappoint! It’s not often I feel sympathy for people who have done wrong in Thrillers, but this one got me right in the feels. So many twists and turns, I had NO idea where this was headed. Kept me entertained until the very last page!

      My 2nd Jennifer Hillier book. I like her writing style. This was good. The ending was what I hoped for.
    • 5/5
      The book itself is awesome but January Lavoy did a kick ass job narrating the book. The different voices for the characters made me stayed focus on the story 10/10 for Lavoy’s work!
    • 1/5
      This book is full of evil without remorse or attempts to make amends.
    • 4/5
      Slow to start, but well wroth the wait. Well done to keep the reader engaged. Triggers is rape. So if you have problems with that then you shouldn't read this. But it a awesome read.
