“Hidden Nature” by Nora Roberts: Surviving a near-fatal shooting, injured Maryland Natural Resources Police officer Sloan Cooper moves back to her hometown and investigates mysterious disappearances across three states with some help from the new man in her life.

 Why Rose recommends it: Nora Roberts is an author who is able to write well across genres. I enjoy her “In Death” series written as J.D. Robb, and have come to enjoy her standalones as well. Some of you may be familiar with Roberts as a result of her more gentle and well-known romance series, but I warn you, Hidden Nature is not one of those.

Hidden Nature amplifies the grit of the “In Death” series 10-fold as we learn bit by bit that Sloan suspects there is a serial killer on the loose. There is a very interesting and loving relationship that is juxtaposed with very sinister characters, which is a new twist for Roberts.
