Publisher's Summary

This 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 16 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 14 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 14 years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For 14 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? Find out in Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts.

Couldn’t put it down!

This book had me hooked from the beginning, there was no point in the book where it slowed down, and it kept me guessing the entire time. The narrator is great too! Highly recommend! This author is brilliant!

A Great Listen but disappointing End

I really enjoyed reading this apart from the end, which I found really disappointing. I feel the author could have done a better story with her son, returning to her life. It just felt so quick and brushed over. I’ll definitely will listen to more from the thought though though.

Enthralling!!

Such a great read.
So many twists and turns.
I thought I had it figured out a couple of times, but it just kept me guessing.
Excellent narration.
My first read by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last.

Really liked this!!

This was dark and really great! A great story and the narration was amazing. I couldn’t put it down. Obsessed with the twists and mystery. Really great ending also. Definitely 5 stars and hoping to find something equally as good next.

Enjoyable until 3/4 through

The story was enjoyable up until about 3/4 through. It became very far fetched and unbelievable. Very disappointing since it could’ve been so much better! The narrator was very good though.

Enjoyable enough

Hmm... didn't love it, but it was an easy listen. It's not really what I was expecting as a thriller, more like a prison-life diary, and to be honest, not a lot happens. Found myself skipping through chapters at times & easily kept up with the story. Don't really understand all the hype for this book.

Easy listen with a satisfying end

For me, this was just ok. I feel like it has been hyped up because of BookTok. It was good & an easy listen, but I found myself keen for it to end so I could start something else. Good narrator though & a satisfying twist to end with.
