Maigret's Mistake

'Irresistible . . . so tightly wound that there's no natural place to put it down' Independent

'Maigret had questioned thousands, tens of thousands of people in the course of his career, some occupying important positions, others who were more famous for their wealth, and others still who were considered the most intelligent of international criminals.

Yet he attached an importance to this interrogation he had attached to no previous interrogation, and it wasn't Gouin's social position that overawed him, or his worldwide fame.'

'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian

Reviews

One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories

—— Guardian

‘I devoured this book in one sitting; it’s gripping throughout with a brilliant twist in the tip of its tail’

—— ERIN KELLY, author of bestselling HE SAID SHE SAID

A gripping, complex, twisty read from one of my favourite authors. I always know that when I pick up a Tammy Cohen book, I will not be able to put it down & They All Fall Down certainly lived up to my expectations. This book will demand your attention and will not let go!

—— EMMA KAVANAGH

Brilliant, twisty, clever - another gripping thriller from Tammy Cohen. I absolutely loved it

—— LISA JEWELL

The setting is brilliant and original, and the plot so tight and tense that once I’d started I had to keep reading. I didn’t know who to trust or who to believe and found the characters and story staying with me long after I’d finished reading.

—— LOUISE DOUGLAS

An ingeniously dark premise, handled sensitively. They All Fall Down proves Tammy Cohen to be a master at the literary sleight of hand and with each twist and turn of the tale will have you second guessing your own thinking as much as the damaged characters do, and smiling in admiration at every reveal. I loved it.’

—— SARAH PINBOROUGH, author of BEHIND HER EYES

Set mainly in a mental institution, They All Fall Down is a superb story in which staff and patients alike are suspects with secrets. Tammy Cohen has brought her trademark wit and emotional intelligence to this gripping tale. Beautifully written, her fragile and vulnerable characters are fascinating, fully-formed, and entirely believable. Drop everything and reach for this book.

—— LIZ NUGENT, bestselling author of LYING IN WAIT

I love all Tammy’s books but I think this is the best yet - so clever and compelling; complex characters with whom you really identify. A great read!

—— LOUISE VOSS

A fast-paced, twist-fuelled read

—— Good Housekeeping

Kept me guessing till the final brilliant twist

—— Woman and Home

When it comes to psychological thrillers few do it better than Tammy Cohen. Her best book yet.

—— Red Magazine

An intriguing psychological thriller…full of tension.

—— The Mirror

A twist-packed psychological thriller from an author who is an expert at racheting up the tension.

—— The People

A powerful psychological murder mystery written with compassion and candour

—— Daily Mail

Gripping and convincing, it is a reminder of how vulnerable our lives can be

—— You Magazine

Twisty, tense, savvy thriller

—— S Magazine

In 'Do Not Become Alarmed' the narrative switches dazzlingly from character to character with ingenious facility. Meloy has an Ann Patchett-like eye for nuance and detail and a mordant wit that persists even through the most gruesome and disturbing scenes; this restless, kinetic book is unsettling and provoking but never solemn. I kept stopping and setting it aside to think; at the end I urgently wanted to read it again

—— Irish Times

Like a gothic Famous Five... a vivid, fast-moving, beach-friendly thriller

—— The Times

Here at Company HQ we're all obsessed with Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. This juicy seaside-town murder mystery will be one of the biggest books this autumn

—— Company Magazine

This fantastically written story, with its little clues casually dropped in along the way, will keep you guessing until the very end ... Another compelling, funny and thought-provoking winner from Liane Moriarty. Do whatever you can to get your hands on a copy - it's brilliant

—— Heat Magazine

Take this page-turner on holiday with you - you won't be able to put it down!

—— Closer Magazine

A twisted thriller

—— Now Magazine

Another riveting thriller. Tackling difficult subjects with intelligence and humanity

—— Hello Magazine

A compelling summer read not to be missed

—— OK Magazine

This addictive new thriller from bestselling author Liane Moriarty weaves three stories together to a shocking and unpredictable climax

—— Take A Break Magazine
