The book grabbed me right from the start, but then it seemed to shift gears, and Marin begins to morph into an entirely different person, obsessing over her husband’s lover, rather than on her missing child.Ĭuriously, her anger is hyper- focused on the other woman, and not Derek. While my sophomore foray into Hillier’s dark and twisted imagination felt less raw and much more polished, it was nevertheless a tense cat and mouse thriller ride!! Jennifer Hillier popped up on my radar with ‘Jar of Hearts’, - a book that made me sit up and take notice. She’s already lost too much- she's not about to let another woman take her husband, too. Suddenly, Marin is quickened, energized again She’s got a singular mission now.

Just when she thinks things couldn’t be more grim, the private detective she has hired makes an uncomfortable discovery…. She goes through the motions, but has lost interest in life. Until he’s abducted by a man dressed as Santa…įrom that moment on, Marin’s life turns upside down. They have a beautiful little boy, named Sebastian, who is the light of their lives…

Both have successful careers, are upwardly mobile, and even recognizable out in public. Marin and Derek are living a charmed life. This is not your ordinary missing child saga. Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier is a 2020 Minotaur publication.
