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.

    I 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. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

    I 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.

    Predictable read.

    No 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.

    The 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.

    it'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.
