Publisher's Summary
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?

Yet another story about a crooked and inept, weak female cop. stringing out the story and doing a hasty wrap up of an ending with no real resolution to all of the complicated characters previously introduced.

Unlikeable characters in a dark ugly plot
I've enjoyed other books by this author but this one left me cold. Child pornography, violence, psychopaths and sociopaths...even the main character was so easily duped that she was not relatable. I slogged through hoping for a redeeming ending but it was predictable and just fell flat. Wish I'd saved my time and money.

The last hour of the book pulled out the 3rd star
What did you like best about The Sound of Rain? What did you like least?
Best-The twists and turns at the end
Worst-The author should study police procedure
Would you be willing to try another book from Gregg Olsen? Why or why not?
Probably not for the reason I listed as WORST part of the book
Do you think The Sound of Rain needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No
Any additional comments?
I stopped reading this book several times. The authors police investigation was bad writing and in no way believable. I strongly dislike giving a bad review. If you can overlook this part and get through it, the last 1/4 or so is pretty good.

Would you try another book from Gregg Olsen and/or Karen Peakes?
Yes, if they are anything like this
Would you be willing to try another book from Gregg Olsen? Why or why not?
Yes, this one kept me guessing. I liked that
What does Karen Peakes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She brought passion to the story. She didn't just read it, she lived it.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
