Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

St. Martins Press (May 27, 2025)

Murder Thriller/Women’s Romance/Crime Fiction

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author presents a 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.

REVIEW

Hidden Nature features two very strong individuals. They don’t overpower each other, as they complement and mesh together perfectly. They have a slow burn romance which is enjoyable to read. There is a fantastic brother relationship and fantastic sister relationship, as well as a wonderful family unit.

The bad guys – no mystery here as you know who they are and they are a very creepy couple. It didn’t seem like Nora’s writing at all to me, but the creepiness of them added to the story.

I loved the detailed descriptions. I also loved the house remodel components.  Hidden Nature was a hard-to-put-down read and I recommend it.
