Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
3.0
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.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the copy.
