The Sound of Rain

Nicole Foster Thriller, Book 1

By: Gregg Olsen

Narrated by: Karen Peakes

Former homicide detective Nicole Foster has hit rock bottom. Driven off the force by her treacherous partner and lover, she's flat broke and struggling with a gambling addiction. All Nicole has left is the dream of a warm bed at a homeless shelter and the haunting memories of three-year-old Kelsey Chase—whose murder case ended her career.

As Nicole obsesses over the old facts, she realizes everything about that case felt off: a disinterested mom, a suicidal pedophile, and too many questions left unanswered. When the little girl's grieving father begs Nicole for help, she's drawn back into the investigation...and given one shot at redemption.

But the deeper Nicole digs, the more evil she uncovers, including betrayals that hit painfully close to home. Will a shocking discovery be the key to finally getting justice for Kelsey and resurrecting her own life?

Good Story but The F Word could have been eliminat

It would have been an awesome book, but the author thought that he needed to put fowl language in it. It would have been just as good without it. I was embarrassed just sitting by myself reading it.

Little did I know

I purchased this book because I needed a break from my historical fiction obsession. To my surprise it was extremely well written. Olsen's charters are all flawed, yet they are compelling. I'm almost never surprised by a mystery's ending. I was surprised, and can't stop thinking about why I didn't pick up on clues. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Good book!

Really enjoyed this book! Good characters and good mystery. I was pretty shocked at the end. Another commenter said they used the “f” bomb a lot. I don’t remember that AT ALL! Read this one its worth it!

Twisted

Lots of turns, lots of twists fast paced would be a fun read at a family gathering to see if you could guess who had done it

Good book, enjoyed it.

Only issue is the narrator. I don't tend to like narrators acting out parts, which she did. But, that is a personal preference.
