Ratings and reviews

8 June 2020 A brilliant read! I enjoyed every page and the fact that it's so well written added to my enjoyment. I loved the many references to the UK's constant rain, their lousy coffee ... and the comments typical of an American in London. Although there's no humour intended in the book I found myself having a little chuckle every now and then. I loved Tom's character and felt great sadness for him. The end was completely unpredictable and a huge surprise. I'm looking forward to starting Snow Burn and more books by my newly-found author. Thank you Phil Reade. I rate Hard Fall 10 out of 10!

I thought it was really well written. if I would of had more time in the day I could of finished it in one sitting that's how exciting and mind bending it was.

Absolutely gripping, attention holding entertainment at its finest. I read all the " big name" mystery thriller writers. They have NOTHING on this author. He held my attention completely. The only thing wrong was it ended too soon, LOL. Deb h, Texas
