'
Jar of Hearts will have readers gasping in shock. Suspenseful, gritty and utterly unforgettable.' Riley Sager, author of Final Girls

Five years ago
Geo's high-school love is revealed as a terrifying serial killer who'd murdered three women. But he escaped custody and went on the run.

Now
Bodies are turning up, killed in exactly the same way as before. Geo's the only one who knows the truth.

The message is clear
Calvin is making his way back to Geo, one murder at a time...

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 . . .

An utterly pulse-pounding thriller by fan favourite Jennifer Hillier, perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Riley Sagar, Noelle W. Ihli, Alice Feeney, and Lisa Jewell.

"As dark as a storm-torn night and just as unnerving, Jar of Hearts will have readers gasping in shock as they tear through the pages. Suspenseful, gritty and utterly unforgettable." - Riley Sager

"Intense and compelling, Jar of Hearts is a well-written blend of fascinating characters and a deeply layered story, which unwinds with excruciating intensity. This page-turner will grip your imagination until the very last, astonishing twist." - Chevy Stevens

"We all have embarrassing exes, right? You almost feel bad for Geo, the slippery heroine at the heart of Jennifer Hillier’s dark and twisted tale. It’s just that Geo's ex turns out to be a serial killer. And, maybe, just maybe, she had something to do with his first murder; and, oh, that first murder victim was one of Geo’s best friends. Hmm. I was hooked on page one. Hillier’s masterful story-telling and compelling voice pulled me deeper and deeper. The plot only twisted and ratcheted tighter from there until I couldn’t pull away. This is a smart, edgy thriller with lots of surprises. Buckle up." - Lisa Unger
