A kind of unnecessary sequel but an okay read. Joe is a completely different character in comparison to the first book, and I found this book wasn’t nearly as chilling.

While not as good as the first in the series, I do love this book and Love. I think Joe feels different here, but I love the way the plot develops. I think his 'growth' is great, though I do miss the show's version of Love
as another killer.

I don't think I'll read the next two in the series mainly because I think this is a good "ending" to the story.

In Hidden Bodies begleitet man Joe nach Los Angeles, wo er erneut zwischen Liebe, Obsession und Gewalt schwankt. Caroline Kepnes schreibt wie gewohnt sarkastisch und schonungslos, doch im Vergleich zu You fehlte mir hier die Spannung. Die Figuren wirkten blasser, und die Intensität des ersten Teils wurde nicht erreicht. Insgesamt solide, aber nicht packend genug.
