This was an enjoyable and easy read. I liked how the characters grew throughout the story and how the storyline opened up and how the ending brought everything together.

A recommended read.

Thank you Netgalley.

When Emily flees London for her father's home in Devon after her career nosedives, she is shocked to find his dementia had worsened dramatically under the care of Francoise, his young, beautiful, and mysterious new nurse. There's something about Francoise that Emily just doesn't trust...but then Francoise isn't the only one keeping secrets...

I enjoyed this twisty thriller, though I thought at times it was a little overdone in the plot department and not as subtle as some of the author's other books which I've read and enjoyed. I liked the World War 2 elements woven in through Harold's diaries, and the suspense was well-built and well-managed.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for granting me a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jane Corry is a wonderful storyteller
I became immersed in this twisty tale
The atmosphere, characters and mood make you feel you're right there
Cannot wait for her next book

The book is a slow burn with twists that are baffling. Emily is a midwife and is hiding a secret when she moves back to Devon to stay with her father, Harold. Her father has dementia and has hired Francoise to help him with his daily life. But something about her doesn’t sit right with Emily. Everyone is holding a secret and it’s only matter of time before one explodes!

Jane Corry books are generally layered so they might start but soon picks up the pace. This book had all these elements however the ending did not justify the build up. The book narrated by Emily and Francoise alternately, interspersed by Harold’s diary notes. The book is good read and is more of domestic thriller


My rating for the book is 3.5 stars.

4.5 Stars from me

It's Christmas Eve and in the spirit of Jólabókaflóðið I am posting as many of my outstanding book reviews as I can!

I adore Jane Corry's books, they offer a mix of fast paced thriller and beautiful soft subtle sub plots.

We All Have Our Secrets is no different, on the face of it a fast and dirty thriller but woven in between there are exquisite visits to wartorn lands, gentle scenes of kindness, care and compassion along with family tensions and old loves.

This is a fabulous read, and much like Jane Corry's others, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

A fantastic tale that allowed the reader to get to know both Emily and francoise and feel invested in their stories. Thanks for the opportunity to read

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest, independent review.

After making the wrong decision at work, Emily runs back to her family's home of Willowmead House in Cornwall where she feels safe in the comfort of her elderly father.

But when she gets there, she comes face to face with Francoise, her dad's new carer.

However, rather than improve, her dad seems to deteriorate under Francoise's care and Emily knows Francoise is lying... and Francoise knows Emily is too...

I thoroughly enjoyed Jane Corry's latest novel! It was suspenseful, full of lies and deceit, and darkly emotive - everything you want in a page-turner!

The story is told in multiple points of view, by Emily and Francoise in the present day, as well as Harold reflecting on his past during the war, all of which adds some great character background and why they are the way they are.

The characters are complex, each hiding many secrets, making it hard to sympathise with them at times and what I felt about each kept changing. There are many uneasy situations throughout, causing great drama and twists galore!

I loved the rural, atmospheric setting of Cornwall, which adds a great layer to the tense drama with lots of village gossip and distrust.

We All Have Our Secrets was a well-written, compelling, gripping read with a great climax!

Another twisty thriller by this amazing author. Perhaps not my favourite but I did enjoy it. Only downside for me was I found it a bit repetitive at places.

Midwife Emily is suspended from duties after an incident during the birth of a child. She leaves London to stay with her 93-year-old-father Harold at Willowmead House in Cornwall.
There she discovers that a young French woman, Francoise, has moved in as his carer and Emily can’t help but react with suspicion and jealousy to their close relationship.
This domestic suspense novel revolves around mistrust as everyone is keeping secrets, including dating all the way back to World War II. I was enjoying the various reveals throughout but perhaps the ending was a bit too contrived.

Jane Corry is a breath-takingly talented Author, brilliant characters, stunning plot and great settings. This is a 'read in one sitting' kind of book!

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. Another twisty read from Jane Corey. Well written with good character development it was a very good read!

This was another great thriller from this author full of drama, intrigue and twists you don’t see coming

We All Have Our Secrets is a psychological thriller full of twists and misconceptions. Emily is a midwife in London who moves back home with her elderly father in Cornwall anger an incident at work. Upon arrival she finds he has hired a live in cater called Francois and immediately Emily becomes suspicious of their relationship.
I have read several books by Jane Corry, but found this one to be less well written than the others. The characters are incredibly annoying (is anyone really that paranoid?) and half the book seems to be spent explaining their wrongful assumptions so the reader can understand the flimsy plot.

This book was not for me. I did finish it but I found it repetitive, long winded and annoying. I didn’t enjoy the story or the style of writing

Emily is a midwife in London, she's a little lonely but generally life is going well. But a career threatening incident sends her running home to Cornwall and the safety of her childhood home. But there she finds that her elderly father has employed a carer, Françoise. She seems perfect. She's kind, efficient and experienced but Emily instantly takes against her. She's sure the beautiful French woman has ulterior motives been there and fears for her fathers safety.

This promised a lot but sadly didn't really deliver. It's very readable and seems to be building to some sort of dramatic ending. But it just fizzles out. Not awful by any means just a bit underwhelming.

I'm not too sure what to make of this. The story itself was good, but the writing style was annoying. It was quite long and repetitive, and had a lot of pointless bracketed sentences. I have read others by the same author so I'm not sure why this was the case in this particular story.

Jane Corry never disappoints. A brilliantly written book which keeps you guessing. When Emily turns up at her father's home she is shocked to find he has a young woman looking after him. The woman makes Emily uncomfortable and Emily does not trust her. As the story builds Emily is determined to get to the truth and find out who this woman really is and what she really wants.
A great read, Who is telling the truth?

I've had a bit of a hit and miss relationship with Corry's previous novels- I've loved a couple and felt more neutral about others. Sadly, We All Have Our Secrets, falls into the latter category for me. The novel starts off well and I was intrigued by Emily who is suspended from her job as a midwife. She takes refuge at her father's house on the Cornish coast where she meets her father Harold's carer Francoise.
I liked the setting of the novel and was initially drawn into it and the relationships between the protagonists. The women are both unreliable narrators with their own secrets which are slowly revealed through the course of the novel. However, I felt that the novel was lacking in pace and intrigue, and I didn't become immersed in it. I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the characters and so lost interest in their fate as the novel progressed.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows Emily, a midwife, Francois a carer and Harold Gentle a 93 year old man who is dying, who also is Emily's dad. The book starts with Emily making a mistake a work and fleeing to her father's house by the coast where she meets French carer Francois.
This is a really good story of secrets, lies and misunderstandings.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
This book centres around Francoise and Emily. I struggled to read just over half of the book, I thought the 'secrets' were easily guessed and some parts of the plot were dragged out with proper explanation - by 54% we still hadn't been told exactly what had happened with the Smith family. Emily's thought processes as a trained midwife were completely unrealistic, thinking she could ignore submitting a statement! The effort to build suspense did not work for me, I found it far too slow and boring, I did not wish to finish the book.
