This is a very cleverly woven psychological thriller which had me guessing all the way through. It has a great cast of characters and is very well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it and give it 4 stars.

Brilliant,easy to read and a gripping storyline.the plot is ever changing until the last.thoroughly enjoyed and read in two sittings

Another good, solid mystery from Tammy Cohen. After an intriguing opening I found it a bit slow moving at first but once it got going it was full of surprises and it had a really clever twisty ending. I felt for (most of!) the characters and it was quite moving in places. I am definitely looking forward to the next book from Tammy Cohen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK, Transworld Publishers for the ARC of They All Fall Down.

Hannah’s world comes crashing down around her feet when she slips on a fast food flyer left outside her flat for recycling, after hurriedly escaping from a row with her husband. In the rush to get away she takes a very nasty tumble. Her shocked husband Danny insists on taking her to hospital to have her nasty wrist injury checked out and also to check out if their six-month pregnancy has been threatened by the heavy fall. They are both equally devastated when they find out Hannah is suffering from pseudocyesis and the shocking result of the examination caused Hannah to suffer a complete breakdown.
Installed in a very stylish and modern psychiatric facility Hannah slowly comes to terms with what she has lost; her baby Emily. The rest, relaxation and therapy sessions are soon working well and Hannah feels well enough to go home. Then two patient suicides rock the steady boat and Hannah‘s condition quickly deteriorates. She knows that she is in danger because she knows for certain that the dead girls did not take their own lives. But nobody believes her; not the patients or the staff. She starts to conduct investigations of her own to gather evidence to prove that she is right, but as the viper’s den is unsettled, so Hannah puts herself in mortal danger.
'They All Fall Down' is a thrilling psychological suspense story. Secrets, lies, deception and manipulation all play a part in this novel. It’s is not only the patients that are at risk either as new information is imparted to one of the relatives. Somewhere, somehow a secret adversary with an axe to grind is playing the role of a puppet-master, leading everyone down the path they certainly do not want to tread. The storytelling is incisively planned, the setting and background meticulously researched, and the characters ‘worked’ with skill. This is a chilling tale of revenge mercilessly metered out, the characters singing to the tune of the cunning conductor. The inmates tell their sad, twisted stories of narcissism, betrayal, abuse and more whilst the carers have devastating stories of their own. It’s a veritable murder fest, the body count rising at regular intervals. I was particularly impressed with the ending which perfectly fitted the dark, twisted story.
I would like to thank NetGalley and publisher Transworld Digital for my copy of 'They All Fall Down', by Tammy Cohen. I enjoyed this novel and loved the way the pace accelerated as the storytelling moved forward. I recommend this a good read within the genre.

This book is set in a private clinic called The Meadows. A beautiful safe place set in extensive grounds with a private lake. We are told the story through The voice if Hannah and her mother Corrinne, Hannah is troubled and the clinic is helping back to a sound mind. She has befriended Charlie but all does not go to plan. Corinne then starts to look into the past of the doctor and his staff who run The Meadows. I found the story drew me in, I loved Corinne, a strong intelligent mother, trying to protect her daughter, and I really liked Hannah. Well written and a great read.

THIS WAS SO GOOD!

Okay now that's out of the way, 'They All Fall Down' is seriously addictive and un-put-down-able!
I am definitely keeping this review very brief and just going to tell you to READ IT as I don't want to say one thing to give the game away. Serious twists keep you guessing and on your toes, Tammy Cohen hits it out of the park.

This is the 2nd novel by Tammy I have read and it won't be the last!

have to say that whilst I didn't really enjoy this book, it was a good read.

I didn't warm to any of the characters and the plot development a little slow but with too much going on (that's not an oxymoron). Despite my criticism, it was a great portrayal of life with depression and inside a hospital - I really felt as if I was there too...

Others have raved about it and said it's a very clever portrayal but for me there was too much going on - perhaps it was the wrong book to read at that particular moment.

3* from me, a good read but not a great read for me.

This is a fast paced book from the first page.
Told from the several perspectives involving strong characters, you are never sure who to believe all the way through to a chilling climax.

A dark and intense read with a good range of characters and enough twists and turns to keep you gripped right to the very end. My first book by this other but definitely not the last.

Yet another great book from Tammy Cohen. I did feel that this one was much more of a slow burner and not as punchy as some of her other excellent titles but still enjoyed it all the same. Would always recommend Ms Cohen's books. They are so well written. Truly addictive reading. My thanks to the publisher and NetGallley for the advance reader copy.

Another perfect book by Tammy Cohen. Loved every sentence of it. Highly recommended.

A fabulous read that grips you from the start. Just when you think you know the twist, the book surprises you! A must read!

“They All Fall Down” promises to be a psychological thriller. But soon it turns into a domestic drama.

Hannah finds herself in a psychiatric clinic. The reason why she is there remains a secret to us for a while. Hannah was pregnant and something happened to the baby. It couldn’t be so bad because otherwise she would be in prison. Unfortunately the last book I read had exactly the same topic. So I figured out almost immediately what happened. But all this talking around Hannah’s problem and leaving out what she did felt quite forced.

Two other patients of the clinic killed themselves. Hannah somehow suspects that they were murdered. But the story is not turning into a thriller. Hannah and her problems with her marriage and her desperate wish for a baby are the main thing here. Her mother is also a main character. She turns into a kind of detective and investigates some of Hannah’s suspicions and a few things of her own.

For my taste the whole story was told too slow. There was almost too much in it. Mental problems, a failing marriage, the drama with the baby, murder,. I would have wished for a thriller but it was more of a domestic drama. The setting in the clinic is a great idea and there is a lot going on. But there is too much crammed into the story so that many things just fell flat. I could not feel for Hannah. I think it was a bit extreme to put her in the clinic for what she did. She is free to go but she is talked into staying by her husband and her mother. She wants to leave one minute but the next she stays because of the women who killed themselves. But this all did not work out for me. It was back and forth all the time. And I failed to see how they helped her in the clinic.

This was my third book from Tammy Cohen. I liked “When She Was Bad” very much. “First One Missing” was an OK-read. Unfortunately “They All Fall Down” was also only an OK-read for me. It was not a fast paced thriller and definitely no pageturner for me. There was too much so that most of the topics just got scratched on the surface. The twist at the end was a surprise. I have to give that to the author. That I just read another book about a woman desperately wishing for a baby is not Tammy Cohen’s fault. There are so many books about babies and missing children at the moment. It was just too much domestic drama for me.

This book didn't disappoint. A story, based around two unexplained deaths in a psychiatric unit. It helped me understand how complex and difficult it can be, to provide support for a group of people, all of whom have very different needs and issues, and that triggers for every person are going to be very different. Who to believe and who to trust?> The twists and turns were good and the characters very believable.

I have enjoyed all of Tammy Cohen’s psychological thrillers: “Dying for Christmas,” “First One Missing,” and “When She Was Bad,” so I was looking forward to reading her latest. Hannah has been in The Meadows for eight weeks when we first meet her. This is a private clinic for patients with a high suicide risk and, as the story unravels, we discover why Hannah is there and learn about her fellow patients. At first though, all we are aware of is that there is that there is a baby involved and that Hannah’s marriage has been in trouble for a while.

Although the patients at The Meadows are seen as suicide risks, we are also informed that one of Hannah’s closest friends at the clinic, Charlie, has recently died. Indeed, she is the second patient to die within a fairly short time and Hannah does not believe that Charlie killed herself. Is she merely being paranoid, or does she have a reason to suspect something is not quite right? At first, Hannah’s mother, Corinne, feels that Hannah is simply disturbed, but, gradually, she too begins to fear for her daughter’s safety and to investigate both the clinic and the events which brought Hannah there.

This is, undoubtedly, another interesting read from Tammy Cohen. A good cast of characters, from the assorted clinic patients, with their issues and back stories, to creepy clinic director, Dr Roberts, the other staff, Hannah’s work colleagues and the film crew, who are constantly recording everything at The Meadows for a future documentary. This is not my favourite of Cohen’s books (“When She Was Bad,” is still the winner for me), but a very enjoyable read nonetheless. Cohen is very skilled at taking closed communities, such as clinics, a support group, or an office, and creating a fairly oppressive atmosphere, which is realistic and works well, as well as characters you care about

As soon as I read the blurb for this book I knew I had to have it. Set in a private psychiatric clinic the reader meets Hannah who is being treated there. The clinic is pitched as more of a retreat, with some therapy and medication added on top. The clinic’s serene environment is thrown into turmoil when two patients kill themselves in fairly quick succession. Hannah takes the second death, Charlie, particularly hard as they had a close relationship, and Hannah refuses to believe Charlie would take her own life. The problem is that Hannah is a patient at the clinic for a reason and has problems of her own, so no one will listen to her concerns.

Narrated from multiple points of view, mainly Hannah and her mum Corrine, the reader is facing two mysteries; were the two deaths really suicides and what horrific incident occurred that meant Hannah ended up a patient at the clinic in the first place. With the latter we know that it is something to do with Hannah’s sheer desperation to have a baby. Cohen cleverly leaves breadcrumbs bit by bit for the reader to find and I had worked out Hannah’s situation just before it was revealed. Hannah is the classic unreliable narrator her judgement clouded under the haze of anti-psychotic medication and shadow of mental illness. She becomes increasingly paranoid and agitated and it is difficult to differentiate between what is real and what is just her perception of events.

The plot runs along smoothly alternating seamlessly between chapters and narration and I found They All Fall Down seriously hard to put down. I was captivated by Hannah’s plight and the strange goings on in the clinic. There are a whole host of characters I had my suspicions about, someone is a liar and is at the clinic under false pretences and I changed my mind on more than one occasion as I tried to work out who I could trust.

Tammy Cohen handles the sensitive issue of mental health with the due care and empathy is deserves. There is no dated depiction of the clinic as some kind of asylum or mental institution, and the patients are just regular people who are having a difficult time in life due to an illness. I loved the respect shown to sufferers of mental health problems in the book.

They All Fall Down is a beautifully written cleverly constructed thriller that will keep you on your toes throughout. I loved this book so much it gets a massive five stars from me. Thanks to Tammy Cohen, Transworld Books and Netgalley for my review copy.

Hannah has been admitted to a psychiatric clinic after having a breakdown, two residents of the clinic have committed suicide but Hannah believes they were murdered.

Hannah decides to look into the supposed suicides and starts to ask questions, but she finds that not everyone is who they appear to be. The story is told from Hannah’s perspective, as well as her mums and one of the workers from the clinic. There are several twists within the story, which leads to multiple questions that are answered throughout the book.

This is a well written intriguing book which has several different plot twists that changes the way you view the characters. A good psychological thriller with an unexpected ending..

I normally love a good Tammy Cohen novel but though enjoyable enough I felt this novel didn't quite live up to its promises. It was a little slow for me until the end and I guessed at the beginning what was happening so no twists at all.

I've only recently discovered Tammy aka Tamar Cohen, but she has rapidly become one of my must-read authors, so I was excited to get my hands on her latest.

They All Fall Down is set in a private women-only psychiatric clinic, clearly fertile ground for psychological intrigue. The central character, Hannah, is being treated following a deeply traumatic incident, the details of which are only gradually revealed. We also see events from the perspective of Hannah's mother Corinne, and Laura, one of the therapists at the clinic. Following two recent suicides, Hannah has become convinced a murderer is on the loose. But how reliable are her perceptions? And who is tormenting her with reminders of what she has lost?

The plot is very cleverly put together and while it's obvious there is more to certain characters than meets the eye, the ending came as quite a surprise. While I'm not sure I would class this among Tammy's very best, it's definitely a compelling and highly enjoyable read with many intriguing and well drawn characters. Many thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

Set in a mental hospital this is one place most of us luckily will never see or encounter in any way so to go inside is fascinating.

It's a gothic and dark gloomy place at once Jane Austen style and something that time forgot. Who do you believe, who is the narrator exactly and why is she there? What does she know? Why is no one listening, what do they know? This book has you asking so many questions you start to question what you are reading and what you are thinking. Tammy! What are you doing to me? Twisting me in a mangle that's what. The therapy sessions, the issues raised and the spotlight on mental health issues and their complexity really shines here. A Cohen classic I think!
