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?… (plus d'informations)

Nicole is not in good standing with the police department where she works because of a gambling addiction. Even her sister whom she confides in, will not help her explaining she has helped her before. Nicole is drawn into by a case of a missing little girl. She is convinced the mother, did something to the girl. As the father of the child finds out of Nicole's interest he tries to help her find evidence of his wife's guilt. When Nicole finds a similar case, the book moves quickly to an explosive ending that I never saw coming. (

This book started well. There's a missing child, suspicious characters, and a flawed yet dedicated cop. I thought the focus on Nicole's gambling addiction was a bit much, but the story was suspenseful and gripping. Then it rapidly became confusing. There were a lot of loose ends and no resolution at the end. I know The Sound of Rain is the first of a series, and since I like this author, I will read the next one. I hope the next book will clear up some of my questions. (

“The women laugh a little. I do too. Though I’m only mimicking their laughter. Nothing is funny to me.”
― Gregg Olsen, The Sound of Rain

Honestly I loved this book . I was expecting a standard thriller but it was way more then that. It had me mesmorized.

SPOILERS:

I really never read a book that portrayed Gambling this incredibly. I have been in casinos since reading this book and whenever I hear the machines I think of this book and the sound of rain..

I originally gave this a 3 because I was so mad about the ending! I did not know, when I originally read it that this was a series.

I cannot wait to read the next installment. Hope things get a little (alot?) better for the main (good) characters. (
