A very interesting psychological suspense story, with one unreliable narrator, one relatively biased narrator and a third narrator who pops up from time to time, but who I felt I got to know more in the others sections.

The three narrators are all women, and all quite different. One works in a psychiatric clinic, one who has been admitted to the clinic and her mother. At first you aren't completely sure why Hannah has been admitted to this facility, but slowly her story starts to emerge.

And its as the story starts to emerge you are lead to wonder if the conclusions she is drawing about the deaths of other people in the clinic, are true or just further delusions.

I found the setting to be rather fascinating, especially with the range of mental illnesses being displayed, in largely realistic and sympathetic tones. We get to know some of the other patients and their quirks, as well as some of the therapists.

The main question is whether Hannah's life is potentially in danger, and will anyone believer her before its potentially too late. However its Corrinne I perhaps liked the most, she was determined to investigate certain things both of her own findings and also some of Hannah's suspicions.

As each new piece of information was revealed, it compelled me to continue reading to see how it would play out.

They All Fall Down is a very good book, that is compelling in places, and just interesting in others. It's very well written, and I'm glad I gave it a go despite the difficult subject matter.

Thank you to Netgalley and Transworld for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

As the self-confessed No 1 fan of Tammy Cohen when I saw she had a new psychological thriller out in July I was very excited and when the publishers sent me a proof copy I did squeal a lot.

This psychological thriller is set in a mental institution and once again the author introduces a twisty, twisted set of characters, that get under your skin and keep you on the edge of your toes.

Alternating narrators bring this dark and clever thriller to life and the author has a wonderful knack of leading you in one direction, slamming on the brakes, causing severe whiplash and doing a three-point turn. It’s a fast-paced and fabulous thriller and Tammy Cohen proves why she is one of the best authors of psychological thrillers around. Highly recommended.
