The
Plot:
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?

Review:
I’m
not sure if authors are getting better at writing mysteries or if I’m just
choosing better books, but once again I really did not see the ending coming. The Sound of Rain grabbed me at the
beginning and kept me burning through the pages. I found myself quitting work
early to read, and staying up late. As a food addict, I identified with Nicole
Foster’s need to gamble, even knowing what it does to her—whether she wins or
loses—even when she’s homeless.
Nicole
could have been just another addict, but she’s more than that. She’s a cop—a
good cop, who can’t quite let go of that last case. The one she failed to
solve. The missing child she never found. The one that ended her career.
Something was off, and she can’t rest until she figures out what it is. And you
won’t believe where that quest takes her. You just have to read The Sound of Rain. But make sure you have
time to read the whole thing when you pick it up. Because you won’t be able to
put down Gregg Olsen’s The Sound of Rain.
