My two cents: if you like closure, read the Maggie duology together. If you like poignant character arcs for secondary figures, read the Carter duo in order. If you just want top-tier suspense, read 'Wonderland' or 'Things We Do in the Dark' immediately. You can't go wrong.

I envy anyone reading these for the first time, in any order. They're all so relentlessly paced and full of 'did that just happen?!' moments. The connections are a neat afterthought, but the main event is each book's own terrifying, unputdownable heart.

Wait, is this about the detective? Yeah, he's in two books. Other than that, I don't think so. I read 'Wonderland' and kept waiting for a nod to something else and it never came. It's a completely isolated, terrifying story about an amusement park. Sometimes a standalone is just a standalone.

What is the correct reading order of Jennifer Hillier books?

4 Answers2026-07-25 18:37:31
A minor point for completionists: her short story 'The Last One' is in the anthology 'The Marriage Pact and Other Love Stories'. It's not a thriller, surprisingly—it's more literary fiction. It shows her range, but it's not representative of her novel work. So if you're collecting everything, note that. But for the core thriller experience, stick to the five novels and the 'The Butcher' novella.

How do Jennifer Hillier’s books in order show her growth as a writer?

The re-readability of her books increased. The early ones are fun, straightforward thrill rides. The later ones, with their layered plotting, foreshadowing, and emotional depth, offer new details and insights on a second read. You pick up on clues and nuances you missed the first time. Building that kind of layered narrative is a sign of a writer planning with great care.

How does the timeline of Jennifer Hillier novels connect across series?

I see people asking this online sometimes. It comes from the way some thriller authors do have recurring detectives or settings. Hillier isn't one of them. She's more like Ruth Ware or Shari Lapena—same genre, different casts each time. The 'timeline' is just the order she wrote them. Honestly, I prefer it this way. I get tired of long series where you have to remember a million details. With Hillier, every book is a new, terrifying adventure.

I appreciate that her books, while part of a crowded genre, never feel like they're chasing a trend. Even her early ones have a distinctive rawness. By the later ones, she's arguably setting trends with her specific blend of domestic unease and forensic detail. That's the goal, right? To go from participant to pacesetter.

In what order were Jennifer Hillier thrillers published and released?

Okay, I'll admit I haven't read the first two. I started with 'The Butcher' because the premise hooked me. So my personal order was 'The Butcher', then 'Wonderland', then 'Jar of Hearts', which blew me away. Then I went back and read 'Creep' and 'Freak'. They were fine, but they felt like a different author almost. So while the official release order is as everyone says, your reading order can be flexible, especially since only the first two are directly linked.

Looking for a lighter, fun entry point? 'The Next Best Thing' is about a young TV writer trying to make her sitcom. It's got that behind-the-scenes Hollywood vibe and a sweet romance. And yes, Aunt Ruthie from 'Good in Bed' is a supporting character here, which is a lovely bridge.
