An interesting concept here, with the story spanning three separate timelines - mostly successfully, but occasionally confusing, although everything comes together well at the end. The main character in the book, Nancy, decides to leave London and take shelter in a family home in Sidmouth in Devon. The house had belonged to Nancy’s grandmother, her mother and now belongs to her after the death of her mother, murdered along with her husband by Nancy’s stepbrother. The three timelines begin during WW2, when the house sheltered evacuee children from London. The second part of the timeline is set in the period leading up to the murders of Nancy’s mother and stepfather, and the final strand is in the present day, and Nancy’s desperation to escape from the aftermath of the murders. Many characters are introduced during the stories, some more likeable than others, and not all totally convincing, but the book is a bold concept, is readable and wills the reader to continue to the end.

On the whole, I enjoyed this book, though I did find the end predictable.

I was quite surprised that the book is set in two different timelines (modern day and WWII) which is not mentioned in the blurb at all, I enjoyed the historical aspect and the story did weave together towards the end.

Rachel's stepbrother has been convicted of the murder of her mother and his father, which took place during a birthday celebration for his stepmother.

Rachel decides to go away to a house she inherited, Tall Chimneys, from her mother, trying to avoid the press and all the hullabaloo surrounding the verdict.

I wasn't sure I liked many of the characters in the modern story and found it all a little bit too convenient. Whereas the WWII story was really compelling with strong interesting people.

Spanning 2 sets of women living in Tall Chimneys this books moves between world war 2, where the occupants are involved in boarding evacuees and are desperately awaiting news from the front and modern day, where Nancy is hiding out from the press.
The similarities between the women of the 2 time lines and their situations are well written and more hinted at than hammered home and both stories are compelling with plenty of secrets waiting to be revealed!
a great read.

A family tragedy that flips between generations exposing secrets both past and present.
It all starts with a double murder the fall out from which Nancy needs desperately to escape. She has just the place her mother’s house in a quiet seaside town in Devon.
It’s not as easy as she had hoped - the house is far from the quiet idyll she was hoping for. Secrets from the past are exposed and Nancy is never sure who she can trust
An engaging story that kept my attention and needed it a times as the story kept flipping back and forth

This is a quick and easy read. I say this because the narrative style allows for you to skim read. There are no tricksy narrative elements here. I enjoyed it partly because I like, and am familiar with the setting (Devon in the UK). There are two 'timelines', which, as others have pointed out, might perhaps be a bit more fluidly executed, and the 1941 'past' section was, to me, better written. This is an inoffensive novel, which does what it says. It's a psychological thriller, and if you like an easy, fairly unpredictable novel, then you'll enjoy this one. My grateful thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the early copy.

This story has at its centre a house in Sidmouth called Tall Chimneys and the families who inhabit it from early 1940 to present day. As well as occupying the same property, the residents also have similar experiences of love, life and tragedy. There are lots of parallels between Elizabeth in 2840 and Nancy in the present day. Good read.

This was a really good read, very well written with great characters, if I had any criticism it would be that I felt as if the ending was rushed. Apart from that, I enjoyed it

This story is told over two timelines and parts from the night of the murder.I was looking forward to reading this book but it was a slow starter and sadly as much as i tried it just didn't grip me. Thank to netgalley and Penguin General UK for the arc.

I love a Jane Corry, feel like you can’t go wrong when picking one up and this one was no exception it had everything I needed! Good character development, a good plot, fab twists and turns and kept me intrigued all the way through. Really enjoyed this one!

Nancy inherits her mother's big old house in Devon on the death of her mother. Her mother and stepfather were murdered by her stepbrother, who is now in prison. After a lot of unwanted attention from the press she starts to get even more unwanted messages from her stepbrother. At the same time she starts to realise how much history the house has so alongside Nancy's story we hear the tories of her mother and grandmother. Nancy's story comes to a dramatic conclusion and it turns out that this is not for the first time in her family. Action packed, complex plot,you will want to read this.

A great read, loved the world war two chapters, loved how it all made sense at the end too, some good charecters and a great storyline

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advance copy to review.

This book did not go anywhere I thought it would. I didn't realise it was in part a historical drama set during WW2.

The writing is great and easy to read. It's set in dual times from the present to during the war. I really liked the main characters from both time periods Nancy and Elizabeth. They both shared a lot of commonality.

If you like a dual time book based on WW2 then this is for you.

Sadly it wasn't at all what I expected and don't feel that the blurb really explains what the story will be based upon as I was expecting a thrilling/suspense book. 3.5 stars based on this.

I loved how this book flicked between the past (WWII) and the present, it was tense and enthralling. The twist wasn't really unforeseeable but that didn't ruin the story in any way. I live near Sidmouth so it was nice to read a book set in a nearby location, and to learn more about the history of the town whilst enjoying the story.

A thrilling new story from Jane Corry. Totally gripping and exciting and really keeps the reader engaged. A really good read and definitely recommended.

This book is more historical fiction (WW2) rather than thriller, but it is strangely gripping with some fantastic female characters. It's told from 2 timeliness, and I found the WW2 events and characters much more emotional and compelling than the present day, especially Elizabeth. The modern day murder and characters (especially Nancy Martin and Jasmine) were pretty unlikeable and undeveloped. I also thought a lot of aspects of the murders unbelievable and over dramatic (especially the boat scene). The murder almost seems to be rather incidental and I think the book would've been better just focusing on the history of Elizabeth and Tall Chimneys and the intrigue surrounding the cellar/ allotment.

A wonderful powerful story that kept me gripped right to the end. The writer teases the reader into thinking she is about to reveal all and ten backs away leaving the reader wanting more! I was impressed with the way she brought to life the uncertainty and deprivations of the war years and how they changed people's characters A highly recommended read.

This book is set across two timelines with odd chapters also referring to the night of the murder. I enjoyed the start of the book and the many unknowns. The only character I liked in the modern timeliness was Vera, the main character Nancy isn't very likable and hard to feel sorry for.

I really enjoyed the wartime era, I never ready books from this time period but I found it very interesting and the characters had far more about them.

The second half of the book started to dry up for me, and the parts with Martin were very dramatic and felt unrealistic. The ending was ok and the twist with Claire was an interesting addition.

I wouldn't read the book again or necessarily recommend it but it was a good enough read.

This is a very fast paced novel with plenty of suspense. Normally, I am not keen on novels with flash backs but in this novel the two stories work very well. The book centres around a house in Sidmouth and its secrets.
Nancy was present when her mum and stepdad were killed. Her stepbrother is accused of murder and sent to prison but we learn early on that there is more to this story.
In order to try to avoid the media, Nancy goes to Sidmouth to the house where her grandmother lived and which she visited as a child. Nancy’s backstory is revealed as the book goes on.
The other story is set during the Second World War and tells the story of Nancy’s grandmother and her friend Elizabeth. Wartime makes you do things you would not normally do . Life in a place like Sidmouth during the war is well depicted.
There are secrets in both stories which are slowly revealed. There is not a great deal of depth to the characters but it’s an easy read with lots of moral issues to think about and plenty of suspense. Thank you Netgalley for giving me the chance to read this book.

Coming To Find You is an exceptional psychological thriller. Set it two separate time zones the present day and during World War 2. It centres around the house Tall Chimneys and the people who live there past and present.
Nancy used to love visiting Tall Chimneys as a child holidaying with her Mum and Dad also with her best friend Claire in tow. But after her father's death and her Mum remarried to Duncan and his son Martin always there in the holidays it sort of took the fun out of being there.
When something happens to Nancy of the summer of her fifteenth birthday so vows never to return. And has kept her secret to herself apart from telling her Mother but unfortunately she didn't believe her and over the years they have drifted apart.
Years later Nancy is due to marry Alex and he said it would be a good time to bury the hatchet with her Mother's birthday coming up.
When the day arrives for her Mothers birthday party Alex is stuck in Paris but Nancy still goes to her family's farmhouse but 9n arrival she discovers that it is only her Mum Duncan and Stepbrother Martin there.
Things get heated and Nancy tells everyone what happened that summer and in a jealous rage Martin murders both parents.
After being convicted Martin vows that he will return for Nancy. Nancy escapes London and the press going back to Tall Chimneys and to get 9ver her past but once she is there she meets the elderly nextdoor neighbour Vera and she starts to reveal the house's past.
The past:
Elizabeth owns Tall Chimneys and lives there with her husband Henry and there seventeen year old son Philip. She also opens up the house for paying guests and has regular guests that stay there.
After war was declared and her son signed up to join the war effort Elizabeth is distraught and blamed Henry for pushing their son to sign up early. In an attempt to see her son one last time Elizabeth travels to London but unfortunately she didn't see him there but did meet Mr Smith and two evacuees that later come to stay at Tall Chimneys.

The book has intrigue, mystery, murder and secrets which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The only downside was that I felt the ending was far to rushed in the last chapters.
If this can be corrected before release date then I wouldn't hesitate giving it 5*. Instead of 4.5

A story set across two timelines, a family saga with a difference.

After a slow start I really got into this book and read in one go.

At times it was a little complex and convoluted, but the threads did separate and became a good plot.

Good characters, though I did want to shake Nancy at times! The baddies were truly awful, but did manage to get their just desserts.

The stepbrother relationship was odd, not sure that came across as well as the author would have hoped, but nevertheless it was still a tense read.

A good story told from a different stance, would certainly recommend.

3.5*

Thank you NetGalley.
