Story4.5 out of 5 stars 237
When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck strides into the bookstore where Joe works, he is instantly smitten. Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: tough, razor-smart, and sexier than his wildest dreams. He'd kill to have her. Soon Beck can't resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom made for her. When a string of macabre incidents tears her world apart, there is only one person she can turn to. But there's more to Joe than Beck realizes and much more to Beck than her perfect facade.

In 2008, 13-year-old Jon Bronson disappears on his morning walk to school. After even his parents give him up for dead, only his best friend, Chloe, remains certain that he would come back. Four years later, Jon returns with no memory of anything after the day he disappeared. But something’s different about him. His presence seems to cause spontaneous nosebleeds in those around him. When he hugs his father, the older man passes out. The family dog disappears. Jon’s only clue to his missing four years is the battered book left behind by the man he believes abducted him.

Story4 out of 5 stars 150
When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money and leave. But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive, and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr Shields may know what she’s thinking...and what she’s hiding. As Jess’ paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what is real in her life and what is one of Dr Shields’ manipulative experiments.

Two couples, four ironclad friendships, the perfect coastal holiday town. With salt-stung houses perched like lifeguards overlooking the shore, Lago Point is the scene of postcards, not crime scenes. Wife and mother Abbi, town cop Blake, schoolteacher Hannah and local doctor Will are caught in their own tangled webs of deceit.

The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs. Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of 21st-century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.

Publisher's Summary
From the author of the highly acclaimed You ["Hypnotic and scary." (Stephen King)] comes an equally terrifying and addictive new thriller.
Joe came to Los Angeles to start over, to forget about what happened in New York. But in a darkened room in Soho House, everything suddenly changed.
She is like no one he's ever met before. She doesn't know about his past and never can. The problem is, hidden bodies don't always stay that way.

Kepnes should’ve stopped at just “You”
The narrator’s soothing voice and Kepnes writing style is all that kept me hooked until the end. But I struggled to keep listening. Was nothing like the first book. I wasn’t able to empathise with Joe like the last book and the characters of Love & Forty just seemed ridiculous. The ending ended up annoying me a bit too. It’s a shame but I felt the death scenes were less gripping and the sex scenes were like that from the mind of a teenage boy. Meh. Wouldn’t recommend.

Celeb Crazy
The first book in this series was so great so I thought I'd try the second. Eh. Not too impressed. It was a bit strange with all the celebrity name drops, so often. It seemed like every few sentences there was a 'dinner with Amy Adams', 'coke with James Franco', 'drinks with Seth Rogan', 'Meryl Streep gave me a hug'. It was odd. It was nice and twisty towards the end though. Did not like that Forty character. And the way that Joe had to keep so many secrets about everything he was doing and thinking, even when it seemed unnecessary and pointless was a bit annoying. Saying all that I would still read another Caroline Kepnes book. This one has to be a one off miss. I just know it.

Compelling
If you could sum up Hidden Bodies in three words, what would they be?
Dark, compelling, unputdownable!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hidden Bodies?
When Forty turns the tables on Joe - but there's really too many to mention. The dialogue is spot on and occasionally laugh out loud.
Have you listened to any of Santino Fontana’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Love his narration...he's an excellent 'Joe.'
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh in the same way the show 'Dexter' does.
Any additional comments?
Very well written books - but you must read 'You' first. I was actually rooting for Joe at the end of 'Hidden Bodies' and I hope there' s a sequel. The narration is excellent, I listened to both 'You' and 'Hidden Bodies' within a week! Only thing I'd warn about is both books have quite a few 'sex' scenes which some people may not like and a couple of uses of the 'C*** word.

It’s really not all that!!
I did not see the hype with this book, it was ok... just! It started off with opportunities in the storyline to thrive... however quite a few times I felt like asking for my credit back, but previous reviews had said to persevere. So I did! Even though it peaked in the middle, it was dire in the end. It was overwhelming, trivial and full of what felt like incomplete bits!
The ‘best parts’ award goes to the narrator!!

Jo is back and as deliciously evil as before
Having listened to You with a fascination that both horrified and entertained I wanted to find out what happens next
I was not disappointed- jo mind and viewpoint is as warped twisted and self obsessed as ever - and his new love Love seems to have similar dark twisted secrets
Was hooked again and drawn in - and left wondering - what happens next 😀

EXCELLENT INGENIOUS THRILLER - KILLER JOE IS FAB!
I simply adored this outstanding and unusual thriller which above all was so much pure FUN with such a naughty but irresistible antihero - who despite his despicable deeds, bad language and graphic adult thoughts still charms and wins the reader over until you are on the edge of your seat hoping that the law will not catch up with this lovable. clever, witty and mischievous, book loving bad boy.
I read the prequel to this thriller YOU ages ago but I am so taken with the narrator Santino Fontana as Joe Goldburg that I have now got the audio book and to be honest I was just so sorry to come to the end of this amazing, unique, hilarious, entertaining thriller that this is the only thing that is consoling me as as the though of life without a daily dose of Joe was a daunting prospect.
Joe is swears a lot more than I recall his doing in the first book and a lot of his internal dialogue is not for the easily shocked, but somehow, with the help of the brilliant narration and skilful tongue in cheek dialogue he gets away with it and amuses rather than offends.
I really cannot ever recall such an endearing murderer and I found myself at one stage saying "Go on, kill her!" at one stage as some of the characters who come into Joe's cross hairs are loathsome creatures and you can see his point that he would be doing the world a favour.
I loved the way this book took Joe to California and I really enjoyed the trip there like a holiday as it was so well described I felt I was there. Loved the way the different characters were narrated. Often men can make a real mess of reading female dialogue but this was a real treat. I have to say that I often dismiss what look like great books as I feel some of the US accents are too strident and while I love American TV and Films I tend to prefer UK or neutral accents but this was just so amazing and after having read the first book this second one really was brought to life by Santino Fontana who will forever be "Joe" for me.
I just loved his internal dialogue and hung on his every word, loved the story being taken onto film sets and into the sometimes seedy world of Hollywood and the entertainment business and also the walk on parts by real celebrities. So many twists and turns, such rich description and great writing which really brought the story to life as if I saw a film version.
They even visited one of my favourite places in Mexico and ate my favourite meal of fish tacos and margaritas all wrapped up in murder and mystery, intrigue, suspense - so witty, so enthralling, so laugh out loud funny - not a spare word in the whole book - just 100% solid gold.
A book which has you sympathising and rooting for the murderer really is like a breath of fresh air and there are surprises and unexpected plot twists and location changes which just keeps you riveted from page one - please please bring on book three - Caroline Kepnes in a GENIUS and whoever is responsible for casting Santino Fontana as the voice of Joe needs to take a bow too - great production values on the recording too 10 STARS!!!
Note to audible.uk - please could you make The Voices of Joe: Caroline Meets Santino ( Free interview between Caroline Kepnes and Santino Fontana, the author and narrator of You and Hidden Bodies) available on audible.com available to fans over here too please as sounds amazing. Thank you

unprepared
Unprepared for this book, not knowing what will happen it surprised me. It all started off good with the main character. Sort of a "Hey nice to meet you" which rapidly switches to "you silly goose" & "omg what!?". Then eventually you slip into a love hate relationship and although you sometimes hate him you don't want to put this book down.
It's a good story, love the performance and great suspense!

Not quite what I thought
Liked the narrator . Wasn't keen on the graphic sexual references. Shouldn't really be in the crime/thriller section
