Description
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.
Reviews
So hard to get through
2By wyomom2Loved the start, loved the end, but the middle for me was so slow, and boring. I’m a fan, and I’ve read so many books she has written and enjoyed them, this one for me, was a struggle.Loved it!
5By Jamilc1983Haven’t been able to get into a book for a long time, now I’m sad that it’s over. Great read!Okay
3By Akinlaw20I have every single NR and JD Robb book and love most of them. This one…it was okay. I’d def wait for the price to go down. I didn’t believe the other reviews that said that but I’m saying it too. 🤣🤷🏼♀️Babe and Doll
4By clayfreeI really liked the core story and characters. I wish more time was spent on them. I’ve read the book four times now. Each time I have gotten more irritated with the amount of time spent on Sam and Clara and with the sheer number of times they called each other “Babe” or “Doll” In my opinion, their stories could have been condensed and not lost any information. I have all the books that Nora Roberts and JD Robb have written, and have enjoyed most of them for creativity and consistency. Lately it seems her style is changing. But she is still a great author.Great title
5By JanetbigsNora Robert’s never disappoints. Awesome as always!Hidden Nature
3By GWYNEDD READERPredictable read.Ordinary
1By Roberta8924No depth, very pedestrian, no character development, just a lot of describing. Of daily activity, what they’re eating. And I’m not interested in any mindset behind perverse behaviors. I’m 1/3 in and I’m giving up on it. Maybe I can get my money back.Hidden Nature
4By Kona O'ReillyThe ending seemed rushed compared to pared to the rest of the book. Still a very good read which is what you expect from Nora Roberts.Suspenseful til the End
5By Dr Mom 29Loved the story line and the personalities of all the characters. I was revetted until the very end.Hidden Nature
5By mgilbert10This is one of the best books Nora Robert’s has written! I have read all of her books and this was so well written! I loved it!Hidden Nature
5By Jalexx4Great characters! A good story.Lazy JD Robb Knockoff
2By RckinRbinit's fine...not great, not good, just a completely recycled story that got axed from her other series and just moved the parts around to make her deadline. This kind of formalistic cut and paste writing is getting tired and she should give money back to everyone that paid full price cause it was a $7.99 book.Not Nora’s Best
2By JustambieI’ve been reading Nora’s books for about 30 years and this is not her best book. Not only are the main characters, not as relatable as I have come to expect, but the plot suspense was ruined within the first few chapters; you could tell essentially what was coming. I’m not sure why there is such a difference between this book and others that have been so fun to read, but I feel like I just read a book that was not really written by Nora Roberts. I’m hoping the next one is better.Hidden
5By Dlw1949Great read. Finished in three days, oh well, laundry can always wait, right?Hidden Nature
5By 1kmc1Wow, this one really got the adrenaline pumping. The characters are so well done and interesting. The story is so good, the dialogue is great, Nora Robert’s shines telling stories. The lead up to the ending could have been cliche, but instead is just as it should be when the lead character has been so well written, the mystery unfolded perfectly and resolved as it should, full circle. Really enjoyed and recommend.
