Hidden Bodies: A Novel

Praise for Caroline Kepnes and You: Hypnotic and scary.

Stephen King I am RIVETED, AGHAST, AROUSED, you name it.

The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious.

Lena Dunham In the compulsively readable follow-up to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.Hidden Bodies marks the return of a voice that Stephen King described as original and hypnotic, and through the divisive and charmingly sociopathic character of Joe Goldberg, Kepnes satirizes and dissects our culture, blending suspense with scathing wit.

Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love.

Now hes heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him.

In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts.

He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor.

But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe cant stop looking over his shoulder.

The problem with hidden bodies is that they dont always stay that way.

They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: truelove. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, hes more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried.

He doesnt want to hurt his new girlfriendhe wants to be with her forever.

But if she ever finds out what hes done, he may not have a choice...
