Summary

Hidden is the first book in Bone Secrets, the multimillion-copy bestselling series.

Eleven years ago, the Co-ed Slayer murdered nine female students on the Oregon State University campus. Lacey Campbell barely escaped his attack, but lost her best friend whose remains were never found. As the sole surviving victim, Lacey helped send the sadistic serial killer to prison for life.

Now a forensic odontologist examining teeth and bones for the state Medical Examiner, Lacey is devastated when she arrives at a crime scene and identifies the skeletal remains as her college friend’s.

The remains are discovered on the land of ex-cop Jack Harper. Sparks fly between him and Lacey, even as they realize that the prosecution’s witnesses from a decade ago are now being murdered one by one. All the evidence points to the Co-ed Slayer as the culprit—only, he’s long since dead. So who’s the new killer? And is Lacey next in line to die?

Golden Heart finalist Kendra Elliot combines chilling suspense and steamy romance in a gripping tale, uniting in-depth forensic knowledge with a passion for thrillers. Set in the snowy winter of Oregon, Hidden creates spine-tingling chills.

Excellent

What made the experience of listening to Hidden the most enjoyable?

Didn't like the narrator, but the story was good, enjoyed the suspense, hope the next books are linked to the same characters. good read with out being too taxing.

Made for TV Movie

This would have been a classic 80s TV movie, it played out very much like a daft, not so scary thriller. A skeleton is found in the foundations of a house that the builder has a link to. One of the victims that got away is now being targeted but she'd already got the murderer incarcerated, didn't she?

Reasonable story

A steady murder mystery. The book does seem very formulated and the characters are childish at times. But the actual mystery is quite good and worth a look if you have nothing else.

Not great

The story wasn't bad but the narrator's voice really irritated me and in fact gave me a headache. The voices for different characters weren't as good as most I've listened to.

Can't Stop Listening Thriller

Where does Hidden rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is ranked in my top 10 overall, and top 5 thrillers.

What other book might you compare Hidden to, and why?

Nora Roberts' Blue Smoke, because it has the character history involved in the tragedy and it weaves the romance beautifully however it is not the main storyline, The crimes are.

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

Kate's performance brought Lacey to life. Her ability to pause in just the right place made me hold my own breath waiting for what was about to happen,

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without giving too much away, when the unlikely person comes to Lacey's aid.

Any additional comments?

A well written, well plotted, heart pounding, beautiful book. The sequels are just as good.

great book

I really enjoyed this story. it was an easy listen with really likeable characters :-) I didnt find there to be a big plot twist - it wasnt a gasp type moment when the storyline climaxed, but I didnt mind that.

I've seen a few reviews commenting on the narrator which nearly put me off this book. admittedly, I got it because it was my book club book choice for this month - but!! i quite enjoyed her narration. it took a little for me to warm to her, and i think she starts quite wooden, but clearly starts to enjoy the story herself and gets into her narration. I will def proactively look at more books by the same author and narrator!

ok...!

I tried. I really did, but the awful 'mechanical' sounding voice made this impossible to listen to. The voice reminded me of the voice on a sat nav.
The story in itself was fair, but I don't think I will rush to read the rest of the series.
