Enjoyed it!

Fast paced with a good story. A great book for those times when you really need a distraction from reality. Engrossing, easy reading that takes you away and leaves you hungry for more. Really enjoyed it!

Very good book. I am ready for book two.

gloom is a very interesting character. The epilogue has me intrigued to find out what happens with the investigation of his wife and sign.

Loved IT!!!!

What did you love best about Hard Fall?

While it was short it was like a long episode of Criminal Minds. PT Reade put together a well rounded character who has to deal with his own issues while continuing to live his life. I typically don't listen to books of this type, but really enjoyed this.

What did you like best about this story?

The way that Reade portrayed the flaws of his characters and that they embraced themselves as they are. That he let them see what they needed to improve and didn't ignore their flaws or that people have flaws at all.

What does Jay Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration!!!! OMG! As I said before I typically don't listen/read crime books, and so am not used to the differing type of narration, but I LOVED how Jay Prichard put the character into his first-person perspective narration. It was just narration, it felt like we were the voice in his head.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were times I laughed, I have a pretty strange sense of humor though. BUT I was enthralled with the book. It lasted me through one train ride, the main time I listen to audiobooks (other than dog walks) and I was honestly upset that the story was as short as it was. But I think there was not a safe way to extend it so Reade was true to the story.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Great start to the series...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it keeps you interested

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Somewhat, how the character changed direction and focus kept me involved

What about Jay Prichard’s performance did you like?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
