Emily returns to her family home in Cornwall after a problem at work to find that a young French woman has been hired as a carer by her 96 year old father. Told by the two women in turn, with flashbacks from a different character to wartime France, the two women prove suspicious of each other for different reasons. Well constructed and fast paced, this is an absorbing tale of family secrets, sacrificed happiness and the complexity of parent-child relationships. A thoroughly satisfying and entertaining page turner.

Another enjoyable easy read from author Jane Corry. Explores a family relationship and trust issues arising from deception on all sides leading to much tension. Who is telling the truth??? Recommended read.

The is a suspense story which evolves into an exploration of the relationship between two women, both of whom care for Harold, a second world war veteran whose experiences have shaped his moods and mental health. Daughter Emily, escaping problems at work, arrives at her childhood home to find her father being cared for by a young French woman, Francoise. Initially the two are at odds with each other over Harold and it is impossible to tell who is in the right and the truth behind the lies that are being told. Into the story steps Nick, Harold's lawyer and Emily's teenage boyfriend, who is also hiding secrets about the past. As the history behind the situation emerges, both women are forced to face their demons. This is a cleverly written story where virtually nothing is as it seems right until the end. There are moments of warmth and happiness, as well as suspicion and confrontation,. which keep the reader guessing. A first class read; perfect for the summer holidays.

I have read a few of Jane Corry's novels and I really enjoyed them so I was super excited to be accepted to read We All Have Our Secrets.

We meet disgraced midwife Emily who is suspended from her role do a mistake that she has made. She decides to head to her elderly father house to try and get some sort of respite. When knocking at the door, it is opened by a lady called Françoise, who she is told that she is her father's carer.

Both women do not get on at from the very first instance and when Emily's father passes away then this opens up a major can of worms.

The characters really start to become unravelled and it made for an entertaining read. I do not think that this is Jane Corrys best novel but it was still worth the read.

Thanks to Net Galley, Jane Corry and the publishers for allowing me a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

A strong 3.5 stars for me… I liked the start and how it launches straight in with Emily, but it was a bit of a slow burn after that.. maybe I’m impatient as it did get going however at a very steady pace, twists and an unexpected ending.

I have read other books by this author, this one wasn’t as gripping as the previous ones however a great plot.

Thanks to netgalley & the publisher for a digital ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

A great easy read yet again from this author. It kept me guessing until the end. Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC.

I loved this! Very good plot and well written characters. I wasn't sure who to believe most of the way through. The ending was spectacular as well.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it however if you haven’t read any Jane Corry she has some bloody amazing other books out there.
This book had good characters and a readable plot however this wasn’t quite the ‘unputdownable’ book filled with suspense that I’ve read before.

Omg what a read. Nothing is what it seems in this book. Who is telling the truth and more importantly what is the truth???. I loved this book , the characters were so believable and well fleshed out. The story was intriguing and far from predictable. Heartbraking, gripping and so good. I devoured this book in one sitting and finally turned the last page in the wee hours. Yes this book is that good. Packed with misdirection and revelations. Almost five stars.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I enjoyed reading this book but felt that it lacked real conviction and suspense. I didn't feel that there was much depth to the characters other than Harold or the story line which would felt not closely woven together enough to feel cohesive and compelling.

Emily is a midwife at a London hospital where one of her births goes wrong resulting in her being suspended.
She returns to her family home where she finds her ailing elderly father has employed a carer called Francoise. There is immediate animosity between the two women and each are hiding secrets they are keeping to themselves.
As Emily’s father condition worsens the two women vie for first place in his affections.
This is an easy book to read, it kept my interest- there are all sorts of sub plots which eventually all tie together but not necessarily as you would expect.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

emily is an overworked midwife and an elderly father called george

francoise is georges new carer and from the first sight of each other there is distrust

and it all gets a lot worse as george starts to decline rapidly

emilys life is about to get a whole lot worse and francoise isnt making it any easier

wow an interesting read on family dynamics and how we all jump to conclusions

A great read about Emily, a midwife, returning home after an incident involving a birth at her place of work. However her father now has a live in housekeeper- Francois. It transpires the two women each has their own secrets so lots of twists to this excellent read.

First time reading anything from this author and I really enjoyed it. It’s a lovely written story of secrets, lies and misunderstandings.

Emily returns home to visit her father to be greeted by Francoise, his live in carer. It’s a compelling story, with interesting characters and secrets that come out, connecting the past, present and future, as the story unfolds. It’s told in a dual narrative through both Emily and Francoise, with flashbacks to WW2 from Harold.

Full of twists and emotions, and lots of family drama. A total page turner. Would recommend.

Thanks to #NetGallery #PenguinUK #JaneCory

Emily is a midwife. There is an incident at work and her life as she knows is is crumbling. So she heads home to her widowed father. However, she is greeted by Francoise. He fathers new live in maid. However, she seems to have her feet well and truly under the table.
As her father's health continues to decline he puts more trust in this mysterious french girl. Which in turn raises Emily's heckles.
Both girls are complex in their own ways and parts of the story are told from their view points. While at times Harrold is a particularly dislikeable person.
Jane Corry has once again delivered a read you wont be able to put down.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to see an ARC.

Emily is 35, single and a midwife living in London but when she makes a mistake at work she returns to her hometown in Devon where her father lives. Her father is in his 90s and unbeknown to Emily has hired a live-in carer. What does Francoise want? Who is telling the truth? A pageturner.

This author is so great all of the novels I have read have been complete page turner full of intrigue and thriller elements . This was no different definitely a go to author for me!!

Two women are staying in Willowmead House.

One of them is running.
One of them is hiding.
Both of them are lying.

Emily made one bad decision, and now her career could be over. Her family home on the Cornish coast is the only place where she feels safe. But when she arrives, there's a stranger living with her father. Emily doesn't trust the beautiful young woman, convinced that she's telling one lie after another. Soon, Emily becomes obsessed with finding out the truth...

Emily’s elderly father lives in Cornwall. When she goes to visit him she is shocked to find that he has employed a young French girl, Francoise, as his carer. The girls take an instant dislike to each other, neither trusting the other’s motives.

The story is told as a dual narrative, so we get to hear both girls’ perspectives, which gradually change as the story unfolds. None of the characters are particularly believable or overly likeable. I found myself getting quite frustrated with all of them at one time or another.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jane Corry always delivers a good read and this was no exception.
Emily returns to her family home in Cornwall to tend to her aged ailing father but on her return finds her dad has employed and cared/companion. Emily is not happy with the situation but we soon find out that there are secrets galore which are being well hidden. Lots of twists and turns as you read and quite suspenseful in places.
A really good paced read and I loved it.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC. It was an absolute pleasure.

Fleeing the serious repercussions of a mistake she has made in the birthing unit where she works, midwife Emily Gentle returns to her family home to discover her elderly father has taken on a live-in helper - 24-year-old Frenchwoman Francoise Alarie. Emily is alarmed - surely Francoise has a hidden agenda? She's certainly accepting expensive presents from her father. But Harold Gentle won't listen to reason
The household of three settle into an uneasy truce, each keeping his or her own secrets, while trying to discover what the others are concealing, until events reach a shocking conclusion that forces each of them to confront the truths and lies of the past and the uncertainty of the future.
This is a super exploration of family relationships seen from inside and outside the family unit. Told from all three protagonists' viewpoints (Harold's is in diary form), a story emerges that is fascinating, complex and full of tension.
Emily, Francoise and even 92-year-old Harold must learn that everything in life is a lesson, and that not everyone or everything can be seen in black and white. People are flawed and make mistakes, and are perhaps too quick to judge others.
With this story, author Jane Corry offers her usual insightful exploration of human frailty, played out in an emotive and dramatic plot in which secrets gradually reveal themselves, right up to the very satisfactory end.
