Cat Hogan

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.

Praise for There Was A Crooked Man

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

Liz Nugent

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.

Eoin Colfer

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

Celeste Loves Books

Highly addictive and a must read for all fans of psychological thrillers

Swirl and Thread

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.

Damp Pebbles Book Review

This is a fantastic character driven psychological thriller with a compelling build up to a very exciting climax.

Melanie Bloomfield- The Bookshop Café

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

Have Books Will Read- Clair’s book blog

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.

BeingAnne.com

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.

The Book Review Café

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