I struggled with this book and the characters, even though I found a few of the themes explored interesting, so I wasn’t as engaged with this psychological thriller. However, it was an easy and quick read, with an intriguing dual timeline at times and some very tense moments.

Another Jane Corry Best Seller!!!! Absolutely love Jane's writing style, she always manages to fully immerse you in the storyline and feel attached to the characters! This novel does not disappoint told in present day and back in WW2.
Nancy is present day owner of Tall Trees in Sidmouth after her mum and step dad were brutally murdered in their farmhouse in front of her. After it being splashed over the papers th he police tell her she needs to hide out for a while and Talk Trees is where she thinks of. But Nancy is keeping secrets of her own! Why did she break off her wedding to Alex?
Back in WW2 Elizabeth was the owner of Tall Trees and it was used as a guest house as well as where evacuees were housed. After the war ends she gifts her house to Adeline - her best friend and grandmother to Nancy!

Tall Trees has so many tales it could tell - if only houses could talk!!

Highly recommended to both Jane Corry fans and fans of thrillers in general. Can't wait for her next novel. Many thanks to NetGalley and th he publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!!

When her family tragedy is splashed across the newspapers, Nancy decides to disappear. Her grandmother's beautiful Regency house in a quiet seaside village seems like the safest place to hide. But the old house has its own secrets and a chilling wartime legacy . . . And someone also knows the truth about the night Nancy's mother and stepfather were murdered. That someone knows where to find her. And they are coming to find her.
A cracking read, revealing piece by piece just who was responsible for the murder of Nancy's mother and stepfather in the present day, but at the same time also revealing the story of a wartime murder also tied to Nancy's grandmother's house.
I hadn't realised initially that this was a dual time line mystery but actually found that the more I read of the two stories, the more they intertwined. I really enjoyed this book.

📚📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖📚

📖 Book - Coming To Find You
✍️ Author - Jane Corry
📕 Publisher - Penguin
🗓 Publication Date - 22nd June 2023

I’ve read a number of Jane’s books and loved them. This one felt a bit different BUT I say that in a positive way. I’m not one for reading books that are set during the war (I used to years ago).
This was a dual timeline - set during the war and the present day.
The war years …. We find out about Elizabeth & Adeleine . They are best friends. Elizabeth lives in a lovely family house called Tall Chimneys. Elizabeth has a lot going on as her house is also a bed and breakfast. She has also taken in 2 refugee’s children and their teacher. They both learn that their lives will never be the same after the war.
Present Day …… we meet Nancy and also Martin who is her stepbrother. We know that Martin is in jail, her mum and stepdad were murdered in the family home. We have to wait to find out exactly what happened that night. Also what happened with Nancy & Alex?

What is the connection between the two timelines? I do love a dual timeline!! Especially when it’s written so well.

I’m giving this a 4 star for me, it was just the ending ….. I was like “ Mmmmmmm!”

The gripping story about a family‘s darkest secrets including three murders, committed during WWII and in the present time respectively, plus the highly coercive-controlling, toxic relationship between the heroine and her step-brother make this an at best interesting but by no means pleasant read.

What is coming to find Nancy are the lies she has told and the secrets she has kept, and when they arrive it is going to be nasty! Straight off, you know you are in Jane Corry country where everyone has deceits and untruths eating away at them, and nothing is quite as it seems.

Nancy is in at the deep end! Her stepbrother has just been found guilty of murdering Nancy’s mother and her stepfather, Duncan. She has dumped her boyfriend Alex because of what happened and she is trying to hide out in the old family home in Devon. Of course, that’s impossible as the tabloids are after her and… the truth.

She’s partly rescued by Vera who lives next door but then it turns out that Vera has her own secrets and that story veers off into the Second World War and involves Nancy’s grandmother, Adeline. Meanwhile, the stepbrother, Martin, gets weirder, escapes from prison and is out to find Nancy. He is convinced that since he took the rap, she owes him. The love isn’t exactly mutual!

There is more confusion and the secrets and the lies are slowly unravelled before a dramatic and chaotic ending sorts everything out. It’s a great read, fast-moving and controlled and it leaves you wondering just who can be trusted – anywhere – and you won’t be certain until the last page!

A very intriguing book this one. You've essentially got 2 storylines running and so it jumps back and forth with very different characters in each. Eventually the storylines come together and fills in the gaps with some more twists and turns! Definitely a book worth reading and one you'll find hard to put down until you finish!

This book has a dual timeline. We meet Nancy who’s step brother has just been convicted of murdering their Mum and Dad. To escape the media, she travels to Devon to stay in her family’s summer home Tall Chimneys.

Tall chimneys holds some secrets though which is the basis for the second timeline set in WW2.

The timelines work well together and seamlessly pull ‘coincidences’ together. I found myself preferring the second timeline. I actually found myself disliking Nancy and found her timeline a bit all unbelievable.

It was a decent read, I was lucky enough to receive an early copy. The book is out now.

Nancy escapes to Sidmouth after her stepbrother Martin is convicted of killing his dad and her mum. Convinced the journalists will follow and going through her own secret issues she shuts herself off. However we are then treating to a very skillful charscter arc and the telling and intertwining of a historic mystery and Nancy's and Martin's story.
I loved this book all characters were well developed and the twists and turns really hooked me. Although I gueesed Nancy'story early on it was such a pleasure to read. I rooted in each story. Another 5 star thriller highly recommended. Look forward to the next. Thank you to net gallery penguin books general uk and jane ciry formy arc.

Brilliant.
As usual, Jane Corry had me gripped from the beginning.
Enjoyed the story and how the different eras and events intertwined.

Set during both WW2 and the present day this book tells the story of a house and the people who lived there.

A fascinating story but you do need to concentrate as the different layers are revealed.

Without a doubt this is going to be one of my books of the year!! Part psychological thriller, part murder mystery, part historical thriller this book has something for everyone. Set in Sidmouth, Devon the story flits between the present and 1941 when Britain was faced with the prospect of invasion by Germany. The present from Nancy’s POV and the past Elizabeth’s. The characters are all beautifully drawn from Maisie and Shelly the young evacuees to Elizabeth, Adeline and Nancy.

Briefly, we first meet Nancy following the trial of her step brother Martin for the murder of her step father and mother. He is found guilty but Nancy for some unknown reason believes she is guilty too. But someone know the truth about the murders… Following the trial in London Nancy runs from the press intrusion to Tall Chimneys, a house in Sidmouth left to her by her mother. In 1941 the house belonged to a close friend of her grandmother Adeline. The owner Elizabeth has a fractious relationship with her husband and following the loss of her son Philip to the war she starts to take in evacuees from London.

The suspense was so good as family secrets are gradually revealed and the house is hiding it’s own secrets! This was a gripping read from start to finish and don’t you love it when you learn something new; I now know what a “silent sentence” is! This is one hell of an emotional ride, a brilliant book that I couldn’t put down right up to the shocking end. A stunning read.

An atmospheric domestic suspense with disturbing secrets and an exploration of the impact of being related to a murderer. Dual timeline, current and 1940s, with the family holiday home as the connecting element. The suspense builds as the story develops, and Nancy, the current-day protagonist, has many characteristics of an unreliable narrator but still draws the readers' empathy. It's a compelling read. I like the vivid description, the characterisation and the suspense.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

A stunning thriller which will keep you guessing until the very last!

Since Nancy's mother and stepfather were brutally murdered and her stepbrother was found guilty and jailed, Nancy has been pursued by journalists and photographers and just needs to get away. The obvious place to go is her grandmother's Regency house in a small seaside village; of course, the house has it's own secrets and wartime legacy . . .

This a dual timeline story - not always a favourite of mine - but, in this case, beautifully told. As the many layers were peeled back, I was just desperate to find out what came next - in both stories! The tension is, at times, quite palpable and the ending? Well, I'll let you find that out for yourself! Very exciting and unpredictable, this is worthy of five glowing stars and - naturally - my recommendation!

My thanks to the publisher for my copy via NetGalley; this is - as always - my honest, original and unbiased review.

Nancy returns to her family seaside house after her stepbrother Martin murdered her mother and stepfather and so she escaped the media but the house has it`s secrets back to World War 2.
Loved the storyline from World War 2 and how it all the characters connected together, but didn`t like Martin and the storyline with him in it.
The ending was the icing on the cake, brilliant.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC

I've read all Jane Corry's book, and I think this is one of her best.
Nancy's mother and stepfather are dead - murdered in her presence by her stepbrother who has been sentenced to life in prison. Now Nancy has her own sentence to serve - judged guilty by association and haunted by her own dark secrets she flees to the family home of Tall Chimneys - which harbours secrets of its own. What happened there during the war? A dual time line tells the parallel stories of Nancy and her grandmother's best friend Elizabeth, who was one of Churchill's secret army - civilians who had to be ruthless when neecessary.
Two women touched by tragedy and unable to trust anyone around them - will they find the strength to overcome the very real dangerous challenges that lie ahead?
I really enjoyed this book - both the present-day and wartime story were gripping and suspenseful, with characters who drew you into their lives. The plot was well-paced and the threads pulled together perfectly,
There are no huge surprises in the story but there's plenty of drama. It's an easy read, perfect for fans of family drama noir.

I loved reading this book. A dual story covering WW2 and present day. Both female characters have had something to do with killing someone and the story explores why and how. Lots of twists and turns and a gripping storyline.

A great mixture of a story set in the 2nd world war and in the current day. Lovely setting and great characters. Fantastic read

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

nancy is in hiding and what better way to hide than down in her families holiday home away from prying eyes

she has been advised by the police to lay low until another big case or news story comes along and then everyone will forget about her

her step brother has just been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her mom and step dad

but coming home isnt as peaceful as she hopes

ohhh this was a great thriller of a ride...you never knew what other secrets were going to come out and the duel timeline with her grandmother added to the history of the place she now calls home

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and with so much mystery and so many secrets to unravel it had me in its grip throughout. Spanning two time periods, i.e. WW2 and present day, it cleverly blends the stories of generations of one family and the iconic house in which they lived in Devon, over the years. I liked how the chapters alternated between that war period and the present day, each one often ending on a cliffhanger making me eager to pick up the thread after the current chapter. There are so many secrets held by characters in both timelines as well as murder, romance and threat that had me on the edge of my seat. The story had a satisfactory conclusion and I remain a big fan of this author's work. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
