A beautiful and very compelling novel set in two timelines, the present day and the second world war. The characters are beautifully drawn and the plotting is very deftly done. Very well researched, the novel really brings Sidmouth to life, especially during the war. HIghly recommended, a wonderful read.

A good twisty standalone thriller by author Jane Corry that I didn’t get totally gripped by but it was still well written and enjoyable.

Nancy feels forced to hide away from the world after her family tragedy is the focus of all the national newspapers, She heads for her grandmothers house, a very nice Regency house in a quiet seaside village for some privacy but the old house has its own secrets and a chilling wartime legacy. The problem is someone knows the truth about the night Nancy’s mother and stepfather were murdered and knows where to find her.

The story is told over two timelines and has some good characters that were well developed.

I did enjoy it and would rate it somewhere between a 3 and a 4 star rating.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Penguin UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

A scary thriller with powerful and rich storytelling from a brilliant author!
Nancy is the survivor of her mum and stepfather's murder. The press vilify her, believing she knows more about the murder, and may even have been involved. Whilst coping with harassment she doesn't know who to trust. Events get more frightening, and secrets are revealed.
There is a secondary story of the same house during the war, showing the challenges women face.
A scary look at what can happen in step families, who are thrown together. Perfect for mystery, suspense, and womens fiction fans.

I really enjoy Jane Corey’s books, I’ve read them all and so far none have disappointed.
This psychological thriller is set between two timelines, it’s all about secrets and lies. Nancy, whose stepbrother Martin is in prison for murdering his father and Nancy’s mother at the family farmhouse, , just wants to escape all the publicity surrounding the case so goes to her maternal family home Tall Chimneys on the south coast. The story then moves to 1941 when Britain was in the grip of WW2. The house is owned at that time by Nancy’s grandmother’s friend Elizabeth and her husband and tells the story of their abusive marriage and what happens when a teacher, Mr Smith and his 2 pupils Maisie and Shirley are evacuated to Tall Chimneys and how the house ultimately comes into the possession of Nancy’s grandmother. The two timelines nicely merge with one another until it ends with the present day. The book is well written, the characters are very cleverly depicted. A thoroughly enjoyable book I would highly recommend. My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers Penguin for this ARC

I really enjoyed it I loved reading about the present and the past which takes you back to the war. After tragedy that happens to Nancy’s family she decides to hide in her grandmothers house Tall Chimneys unfortunately someone finds out where she is and Martin her stepbrother starts to message her she doesn’t feel safe anymore, there is so much intrigue and tension and you just hope that everything works out happy for her. I love all her books and can’t wait for the next one.

This book went everywhere with me, glued to it from the first page to the end and wanted more. Such a great read……

My heartfelt thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read an early copy of this outstanding read, I absolutely loved it! I have read that others managed the book in one sitting but I purposely rationed myself because I just didn't want to come to the end.
Coming to Find You is full of real, relatable characters that you actually care about and a plot that is covered by two narratives (maybe three if you include the murder); present day and the Second World War, both of which take place in Sidmouth. All the main charcters are strong, resilient, likeable women, which in itself is quite remarkable which, even in this day and age is a rarity in itself.
I very quickly became invested in the lives of these women, was overcome with emotion on several occasions, and will miss them all now that I have finished reading. What more could you ask for in a book?

Nancy has just experienced the deaths and her mother and step father, and has been involved somehow in a court case involving her step-brother. She retreats to her family holiday house to escape the press intrusion. The story moves between the current day, the night of the big event, and the war time story of inhabitants of the house. The stories all tie up at the conclusion of the book in an interesting way, making this a satisfying read.

I thoroughly loved this book. The dual timeline worked a treat! The characters were absolutely amazing and the storyline kept me engaged right up until a spectacular ending!

What a great story. Set in the present, but also in the past especially during the war years. The war side of the story is quite riveting, and the characters truly believable. The present storyline about Nancy and her family was particularly poignant, but for me the characters weaved into the story from the war years is exceptional. It’s a great read and would recommend to others.

Sweeping Tale..
A sweeping tale, a crime that cannot be forgotten and a deeply affecting atmosphere in this domestic suspense. A family tragedy spurs Nancy to make a move to her old family home in a seaside village - but it transpires that the past can never be forgotten. An immersive read with a well defined sense of place, an intriguing storyline effectively told in dual timeline and a well crafted cast of characters where the house itself becomes a character all of its’ own.
