Ring-a-ring o’ rosie . . .
... Someone wants to play.
... Who's not playing the game?
... Now Someone must pay.

Jen Harper likes to play it safe. She is settling into life on the outskirts of a sleepy fishing village with her little boy, Danny. Life by the sea – just how she wanted it.

When she meets Andy, she feels the time has come to put her baggage and the scars of the past behind her. Then she is introduced to Scott, Andy’s best friend, and is stung by his obvious disdain for her. Why is Scott so protective of his best friend? What is the dark secret that threatens all of them?

In her attempt to find answers, Jen must confront her demons and push her relationships to their limits. By digging up the past, she puts Danny and herself in danger. Will she succeed in uncovering the truth before they all fall down?

Raw and energetic, They All Fall Down is a fast-paced and addictive novel exploring the depths of flawed human nature, the thin line between love and obsession and the destructive nature of addiction.

Review

THEY ALL FALL DOWN by Cat Hogan puts the psychological into psychological thriller and I devoured this book in one sitting.- Books of all kinds

A truly brilliant debut novel.- Beccas Books

Loved it and can't wait for Cat's next book! There were moments I held my breath, moments when I knew what would happen and yet my knuckles turned white. Moments when Cat Hogan completely pulled the rug from under me. Good Reads Reviewer

They All Fall Down is a striking, confident start by the latest in a line of Irish female thriller writers, and the Wexford setting is beautifully realised - Sunday Independent

Could not put this book down once started. Kept me intrigued and in suspense until the last chapter - Amazon Reviewer

I didn't like this, I LOVED it. I would definitely recommend this book. I had it read in just a few days as I couldn't put it down and there were parts of the story I was shouting at the characters in my head to not do this and don't do that.

In There Was A Crooked Man, Cat Hogan has assembled an unsettling cast of vivid characters who move like squatters into your cranium and refuse to leave. Especially the losers and the lost, and the villains who keep you looking over both shoulders long after you ve put the book down. Prepare to be thrilled. JACKIE HAYDEN - Hot Press writer and best selling author.

'A coruscating journey from the dark alleys of Marrakech, through Berlin and back to where it all began. Hogan writes vividly and unflinchingly.Scott Carluccio Randall is an anti-hero to reckon with.' - AIDAN GILLEN - Game of Thrones.

A confident debut from a striking new Irish author. -Sunday Independent

A full on, multi plotted, page turning thriller. - Irish Examiner

Hogan writes with style, and in Scott she has produced a complex monster who will stay in the mind. As for the ending, it will leave you reeling. -Books Ireland Magazine

A seething cauldron of jealousy, obsession, addiction, betrayal and murder. - The Guardian

"In Cat Hogan, you're looking at one of the future stars of Irish crime writing. Get in on the ground floor." - Rick O Shea - RTE

Cat Hogan masterfully captures the essence of what it feels like to live and work in a small village. Her characters are known to us all and I d quite like to join them for a pint. -Liz Nugent

Hogan is a thrilling new voice in Irish fiction- the genres next shooting star. A stunning debut. -Eoin Colfer

Highly addictive and a must read for all fans of psychological thrillers -Celeste Loves Books

They All Fall Down is a high-quality debut, told in an almost storyteller manner as though the author is recounting the story to the reader in person. -Swirl and Thread

This is a fantastic character driven psychological thriller with a compelling build up to a very exciting climax. - Damp Pebbles Book Review

They All Fall Down is a brilliantly woven story and for a debut- absolutely faultless. A big and well deserved 5 stars- Read it! - Melanie Bloomfield- The Bookshop Café

Hogan certainly knows how to write an evil character- Scott s ability to switch on and off the charm jumps from the pages. I love the language quirks coming through that really transport you to Ireland. - Have Books Will Read- Clair s book blog

I was expecting it to be a gentle tale of country folk, maybe with a bit of sea going and the odd bit of wisdom from the elders- we enter a whole different world of evil, secrets, betrayal, violence, addiction and obsession. A tremendous page turner. - BeingAnne.com

Hogan has created an eclectic mix of characters- self-centred, flawed and destructive. The characters flaws make this novel all the more fascinating.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cat Hogan is an international bestselling crime fiction author from Ireland. Her first award nominated novel ‘They All Fall Down’ was released in 2016.

Her second novel ' There Was A Crooked Man' is on general release from September 2017 and has already had a number of huge endorsements. Aidan Gillen the Irish actor who portrays Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish in the HBO series Game of Thrones has given Cat’s second book, There Was A Crooked Man, his full endorsement!

Cat lives in her native Co. Wexford with her two boys within spitting distance of the sea. Her father Pat, a lightship man, instilled in her a love of the sea and the stars. Her mother, Mag, taught her to read before she could walk. Cat drinks too much tea, cooks way too much food and never gets enough sleep.

    Not normally my genre, but I recently undertook to try out some of my fellow Irish authors and get out of my scifi comfort zone for a while. Have to say I really enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. Tight storyline, good characterisations and believable dialogue make for a very entertaining read. The author keeps proceedings as plausible as possible for this genre without the plot becoming too pedestrian, and builds up nicely to the thrilling climax. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the genre, or would like to dip a toe in!

    Loved the story. The only problem I had was POV shifting too much. A few spots it was halting. The first half is more of a suspense romance with the ‘thrill’ part taking center stage the last quarter. I loved the Irish expressions. I could hear everyone’s accents.

    This is a psychological thriller at its best!
    Jen likes the quiet life, possibly a little too quiet so her friends think, so they're all pleased when she meets Andy who although weighed down by the past seems to be the perfect catch (no pun intended!) Little did she bargain on him having such a downright nasty albeit charming, and dangerous friend who takes an instant dislike to her, of course the feeling is mutual.......
    Cat has created some wonderful and beautiful characters here who I warmed to instantly, and I have to hand it to her, Scott is a piece of work alright. If you're looking for a compelling psychological thriller with twists and turns and surprises, that will genuinely leave you guessing then this is it! I've tried and failed to find fault, They All Fall Down is a brilliantly woven story and for a debut absolutely faultless. A big and well deserved five stars. Read it!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in Australia on March 11, 2021

    This is chick lit. Not women’s fiction, not a thriller or psychological thriller.
    It’s not particularly well written, the characters are superficial, shallow and not developed. Some Chick Lit authors, Marion Keyes for example, write about a serious underlying topic and although the characters are often not well developed and there is a strong element of ending happily ever after, the topic makes for a decent read.
    This book has no redeeming quality. The ending is a blatant attempt to get the reader to buy another book, but a sequel is too far fetched, and the characters and storyline not worth it.
    Some reviewers have commented on the unrealistic character of Scott, but he is perhaps the only well drawn, complex character. Unfortunately, narcissism is a real syndrome and Scott fits the clinical diagnosis of a narcissist. I don’t know if the author researched this or not, but he fits the profile. The other characters don’t measure up to his complexity and the writing barely does him justice.

    Hard core fans of chick lit may enjoy this, but if you like a bit more grit, or some decent writing, you may be disappointed.
