The #1 New York Times-bestselling author presents a new novel about an injured cop who must fight to bring down a pair of twisted killers…
Natural Resources police officer, Sloan Cooper, and her partner had just taken down three men preying on hikers in the Western Maryland mountains. Driving back, she pulled in at a convenience store—and walked right into a robbery in progress. One gunshot from a jittery thief was about to change her world.
After being shocked back to life on the operating table, she has a long recovery ahead, so she moves back to her parents’ peaceful house in Heron’s Rest. As for the boyfriend who dumped her via text while she was in the hospital, good riddance.
She may be down, but she’s not out. So when a woman vanishes, leaving her car behind in a supermarket parking lot, Sloan searches online for similar cases. She finds them, spread across three states. Men and women, old and young—the missing seem to have nothing in common. And the abductions keep happening.
Luckily, the new man in her life shares her passion for solving this mystery. But it will take every ounce of endurance to get to the dark heart of this bizarre case—and she’s willing to risk her life again if that’s what it takes to stop the horror.

Hott Review of Hidden Nature:
After a harrowing journey back from death Sloan is working to pull her life back together. The grueling healing process is hampered by her nightmares and lack of appetite.
Let me just say that I love the setting of this novel. It’s very close to me and just feels like home. While Nora Roberts’ imagery is always fabulous, in Hidden Nature I can picture the scenes, the trees, the hospital, the park, as if I’ve been there… Because I have. It’s just extra.
You know those times when, you know you’re pronouncing it wrong in your head, but you just can’t make your head say it correctly? I have no idea why, but I could not get Elsie’s name right. I always read it as Elise. So weird.
As for my thoughts on Hidden Nature. It was a good mystery. The plot and timeline worked in my head. I didn’t see many coincidences that didn’t feel plausible. I liked the characters and found them just right for their roles in the book. Normal was just right, the romance wasn’t too easy, and crazy wasn’t over-the-top unrealistic.
Overall, I’m so grateful to Nora Roberts for sharing her incredible imagination with us through Hidden Nature!
