A heart-pounding novel of unspeakable crimes and unforgivable sins from the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Sound of Rain.

Homicide detective Nicole Foster has finally balanced an unsteady life and is anxious for a second chance. There’s no better place to start over than at the beginning—back at her childhood home on the Washington coast, where’s she raising her niece and keeping an eye on her increasingly fragile father. But Nicole’s past is never truly behind her—not when a disturbing new case stirs dark memories of the haunting investigation that shattered her career.

In the middle of the hottest August in a century, a toddler is found dead inside a parked car. Her father says he forgot her. It’s an unthinkable crime. And for Nicole, it’s made all the more unbearable by her own suffocating secrets—those shared by an old rival who has reappeared from the shadows and is pushing Nicole to the edge once again.

Now, wherever the truth lies, solving this case and avenging an unforgivable death is the most important move in Nicole’s career. But to see it through to the end, how far is she willing to go? And what is she prepared to risk this time?

Gregg Olsen is one of my favorite authors for this genre….if not MY NUMBER ONE❤️ :) He really knows how to pull you in and keep you guessing while throwing in unexpected twists and turns every step of the way! I LOVE that! I’ll THINK I have something figured out when all of a sudden he throws that curveball he’s so GREAT at doing! He creates such GREAT characters who you grow very attached to….well, the ones who AREN’T the perps or who are just flat out unlikable anyways lol! HUGE FAN!

GRIPPING and A VERY SATISFYING ENDING! :)

This audiobook was very well written. While it revolves around a very difficult topic, it was handled very well – with sensitivity.

Tough read but very well executed

I adore Gregg Olsen’s writing! He is so descriptive and so fun to listen too. I hope one day he writes a book about an adventure with a paramedic :D

On the edge of my seat!

This is the second book I have read by Gregg Olsen and his treatment of women has put me off to the point I will not try again.

Gregg Olsen does not like women

I enjoyed the story, however, the ending seemed abrupt. It was as if the author suddenly tired of their own story.

Overall good story, lazy ending.

I didn't hate the book but I did get tired of Nic's go round about her sister. It was overdone. I just wish there was less angst regarding the relationship with her sister....the crime story was more interesting....oh well, if there is another book we'll see if Nic has her act together a bit more!

Stick With The Crime Instead
