I didn't have many expectations for this book and I think I enjoyed it. I did have things I didn't like. such as, I think the Clara chapters could have been a little more mysterious because the more I learned in those chapters the less I was interested in her. But I did find Ben.
When I started reading this book I heard it was a romantic suspense so I was a little disappointed that the main couple didn't meet till the 50% mark. Which I think made the romance seem a little rushed even if the audio book is almost 15 hours.

The serial killer sections were not interesting and slowed the story. I skipped over most of them.
Hidden Nature is a small-town romantic suspense from Nora Roberts, an author who truly excels in this genre. The story weaves together mystery, family, romance, and intrigue, with enough suspense to hook readers.
Sloan Cooper, a Natural Resources Officer, is unexpectedly shot in the chest during an unexpected encounter. She returns to her hometown to recover, only to find herself drawn into a missing persons investigation. As she puts herself at risk to uncover the truth, Sloan might just solve the case and find more than she bargained for.
I’ve always enjoyed reading Nora Roberts, and this book had all the familiar ingredients: a strong female lead, elements of found family, and a compelling mystery. However, I was a little disappointed. The story takes a long time to gain momentum. While I usually appreciate detailed storytelling, I’ve noticed a trend in Roberts’ recent novels: a slow pace and repetitive passages that come at the expense of narrative drive. I would have preferred a tighter, more fast-paced plot.
