The Sound of Rain

Nicole Foster Thriller, Book 1

De: Gregg Olsen

Narrado por: 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.

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.

Incredible!!!!

This was an amazing book. A little drawn out in the beginning, but so worth every minute ! Had me guessing, then guessing again. I had to suspend everything I was doing for the last 2 hours of this book. The writer is very original. And the reader is one of the best female voices I’ve heard in a long time. I listen to at least 2 books a week and it’s hard to find stories that keep my interest. This one did. I highly recommend.

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.

Glad this was an audiobook...

The narrator definitely helped me get through this one! Nailed all the different characters! I wanted more details about what happened and felt a bit cheated but onto book 2 in hopes my questions are answered! Overall it was decent.
