The average rating for Heart-shaped box based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-07 00:00:00 Paul Echols #3 in the Claire Montrose mystery series. Claire is attending her Minor High School class of '79's 20th reunion. She reluctantly decides to attend taking her boyfriend with her as a sort of status symbol. Her high school is the stereotypical clique filled school with the head cheerleader being the in kid. Claire was smart, but didn't fit into any of the groups coming from a low income single mother family so can't afford college and becomes a screener of vanity license plates in Portland. She is one of several women at the reunion who received a hand made heart shaped box and the first night of the reunion the head cheerleader is found murdered in the parking lot. She is not the traditional female wife who solves mysteries in these types of mysteries. She's somewhat reluctant and is able to see things and clues others are missing.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-14 00:00:00 Bobby Roebuck Read this right after Circles of Confusion, wanting to give April Henry an opportunity to improve her writing because I like to support local authors. Reading the descriptions of fictional Oregon settings, I realized what a tough job it is to keep everything authentic and consistent. I hope that Henry will keep honing her skills as she keeps writing and getting published.
