Walter Shaw, now with an empty place beside him, doesn’t move. Geo’s father isn’t known for being an emotionally expressive man, and the only evidence of his true feelings is the lone tear running down his face.

We’ve had a romance with serial killers since Ted Bundy came along looking like he needed a hug instead of the electric chair. Personally, I’m against capital punishment for many reasons—most of which you don’t give a tinker’s damn about—but death is too easy. Living is hard. Even when you’re a supposed “psychopath,” which writers have latched onto with glee as the new serial killer boogeyman in our midst. But there are still entertaining tales to tell about the victims, as Laura Lippman showed masterfully in I’d Know You Anywhere. And now, Jennifer Hillier does the same—but very, very different—with her thriller Jar of Hearts. What? The burger? Kaiser removes the top of his burger bun and places fries on top of the patty. He replaces the bun and takes a large bite of his own. You signed your plea agreement, nobody cares if I talk to you. Geo didn’t protest, didn’t say a word, didn’t make a sound. She simply closed her laptop, her presentation disappearing from the large projection screen behind her. The detective took out his handcuffs. The sight of them made her wince.

Jar of Hearts

The characters were very well done. They all were realistic. I had so many different emotions for Geo. I also loved the writing style.

So what are you doing here?” she asks a few minutes later, when she’s eaten half her burger and her stomach has stopped hurting. Less than one percent of the inmate population is Pacific Islander. It won’t help you. The counselor looks at her intently. So, how are you feeling? Depressed? Anxious? Any suicidal thoughts? Geo knew what happened that night but choose to keep what happened a secret. That decision is her downfall and she is sentenced to prison when Angela's remains are found. Upon her release, she is trying to start over and finds that is easier said than done. New remains have been found in the woods near her father's home and investigators are wondering if the bodies are in any way related to the Angela Wong murder? Who is the killer? Are the cases related? Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier 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. Kaiser holds up the bag. “It is for you. And you can have it … so long as you tell me what Calvin James slipped you in court.”

Just when you think you know what is going to happen, Jennifer Hillier takes you further into this dark web of lies and secrecy she’s created. “There’s a hero and a villain and sometimes they are the same person.” This statement has never rang more true in a murder mystery/thriller setting.
