A great story with great characters that really draws you in from the first page. My first time reading books by this author and I will be looking for more books.

I’d like to thank Penguin General UK and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Coming To Find You’ by Jane Corry in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Nancy’s stepbrother Martin is given a prison sentence for the killing of her mother and stepfather, and she moves into her mother’s house Tall Chimneys in the Devon town of Sidmouth to escape the reporters. Only Nancy and Martin know the truth of what really happened the night their parents died. Will Nancy be able to keep her secret or will her conscience make her speak out?

‘Coming To Find You’ is a compelling family mystery told at the present time by Nancy and reverting back to the 1940s as the experiences of life in Sidmouth during World War II is related by her grandmother Elizabeth. Throughout the story there are strong-minded women and the men who want to control them, and we’re told of how living through the War changed people’s lives. I liked how the characters were depicted and how the history of Tall Chimneys affected them in the past and present. The novel is a beautifully written drama that kept me engrossed from beginning to end and it gave me a special warm feeling for Sidmouth, a town I’ve visited many times.

An interesting read that keeps you guessing.
It is centred around the Devon house of Tall Chimneys and follows two main storylines. Elizabeth's based in 1941, alongside her personal story we learn about life on the coast during World War Two, also Nancy's set in the present day with flashbacks to previous events notably the night of her mother's murder.
There is enough happening in both lives to keep the reader fully engaged and wondering what would happen next.

This was a very interesting pair of stories, one told in the past by Elizabeth and one in the present by Nancy. Both stories have a lot of similarities both in the setting as they are mostly in the same house in Sidmouth but also the characters and their actions.
Both of the leading ladies experience loss in some way that changes their worlds and have a dominant male figure trying to control them. How they each cope with what has and is happening to them as well as in the world around them is an interesting story. Both of which weave around each other in a way that made me keep reading wanting to know everything that had happened and what was going to happen to these remarkable women.

This is a book that really draws you in to the lives of the characters. I really enjoyed the dual timeline as it was woven together so well. The characters are very well written and the setting is a character in itself. I know Sidmouth well and was pleased to find it described so well.

Tall Chimneys in Sidmouth, Devon, is a house that has been passed down through the generations. When Nancy’s stepbrother, Martin, is sentence to life for the murder of Nancy’s Mum and Martin’s Dad, she flees to the family holiday home to hide away.

She soon discovers that someone knows her secrets and that someone is coming to find her, but who?

This is a well written and enjoyable story, I was gripped from the first page. I wanted to know the secrets of this beautiful house.

Written with a dual time line, we flit between now and World War 2. There are quite a few characters but they are integral to the story and it doesn’t make it confusing to have all the characters.

As we peel back the layers to discover the truth, the story stands out to be one of secrets, murder and suffering.

This is my first book by the author and I will be looking out for more of hers to read.

My thanks to NetGalley and Penguin General U.K. for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book. Jane Corry never fails to please with her psychological thrillers!
Nancy had to flee from London, and she was lucky enough to have an empty home that her mother had left her. Here begins the story. I'm not a spoiler reviewer because if I tell you, why bother reading it, but she makes some new freinds when she moves into Tall Chinneys, then she doubts if they are her freinds when she discovers something about her ex. She becomes a mother to a rescue dog and one of the constant themes running through the book is 'The Night of the Murder' where you get snippets of a very disturbing night. Her step brother starts to contact her from prison and its not all what it seems. While this story of Nancy trots along there's also a parallel story of Elizabeth in 1944. Both of the women's lives are very similar it appears and someone dies in each of their lives. This book was fantastic and I loved the twists and turns....there were lots and the ending was great!

A wonderful story about a young woman whose life is thrown into a nightmare when her stepbrother is sent down for killing her mother and step father. As she escapes to her families holiday home it appears the past just won’t leave her alone and people are still trying to find out if she really is an innocent as she claims and why won’t her step brother leave her alone even from jail. As she tries to start again a mystery from her families past is also being uncovered and Nancy may not have the happy ending she has dreamed of.

I have read a few Jane Corry books and usually really like them. This one was a bit of a let down for me the Nancy storyline just felt a little rushed and underwhelming. However I did really enjoy Elizabeth’s storyline from world war 2 and would have liked the whole book on that. In the end it didn’t feel like the two storylines gelled very well together either.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this Arc.

When Nancy’s mother and step father are murdered in front of her, she decides to escape to the family home by the sea, which once belonged to her grandmother. When the press find out where she is, as well as her murdering step-brother, who is obsessed by her, Nancy doesn’t know who she can trust and who is selling her secrets to the press.
In chapters going back to World War II, we learn the history of the town and the house, originally owned by Nancy’s grandmother’s best friend. It seems people carried heavy burdens of guilt then as well.
This is an enjoyable book, with likeable characters. Nancy’s family were complex, as were the secrets of the house. The book was full of coincidences, but this is acknowledged in that the word is mentioned 4 times, with the quote, “Here’s the thing about coincidences. They sound contrived when you hear about them. But that’s exactly what defines them. They are impossibly true.” Some of the coincidences did seem too convenient, but nonetheless it all fitted together and is well worth a read.

This is the first novel from Jane Corry that I have read and I don't think it will be my last, I found Coming to find you was a beautifully written novel which spans the generations from world war 2 to the present day, there is murder, mystery, romance and intrigue and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it for a perfect read.

A gripping and emotional thriller. The sleepy Devon town of Sidmouth and its old boarding house, Tall Trees, is the setting for this story of courage, deceit and murder both during WWII and in the present day. Jane Corry's books are always gripping reads and this one really urges you to keep reading.

Another brilliant read from Jane Corry!
Coming To Find You is well written, full of drama, suspense and great twists - would thoroughly recommend!
4 stars

This was my first time reading from this author and I’m really impressed! This was an incredible story that goes between the present and the past during the Second World War. At first when the story went into the past to the time of the war, I wasn’t sure how it would connect with the story of Nancy, who is reeling from the murder of her mother and step dad, but the two stories collided wonderfully and it quickly made sense why we were told about the past and I thought it was really clever.

This was a great thriller with a bit of history too that I really enjoyed reading about. There were a few twists that I didn’t expect and overall the story was really good. I’d definitely recommend this and can’t wait to read more from this author!
Thank you so much to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This has got to be the best book Ive read this year . Fascinating story telling the past and present lives of the people in this building. I loved the characters and the way the story unfolded gradually throughout the book. Just enough tension to keep you up all night reading the next chapter . Can’t rate this highly enough, definitely 5 stars from me . Can’t wait for the next book from this author

This book was not what I expected. I loved the combination of historical fiction with crime and suspense. I kept getting lost in the seperate stories, which were well paced, and then the stories came together. It was so well thought out.
My only feedback would be that the ending felt a little dragged out. There was a lot to conclude, but it could have been more concise.
I truly adored how Summer was fostered at the end, it felt like a well rounded ending.
This was a great, unique read.

Thanks first must go to Netgalley, the publisher and Jane Corry for the ARC of ‘Coming To Find You’.

This is a dual timeline story, focusing largely around the history of a house and crimes committed in both timelines. Whilst it was an enjoyable read and I do really like Jane Corry’s writing, this one wasn’t my favourite - mainly due to the early timeline.

I was really looking forward to reading this latest Jane corry book as Ive enjoyed her previous ones, but sadly this one really didn't do it for me. Although, as always, the writing was very good I struggled with the 2 timelines and would have preferred a book about one or the other.
I'm looking forward to reading the next one though!
Thank you to netgalley and Penguin Books for an advance copy of this book

Martin, Nancy’s stepbrother is convicted of her mother’s and stepfather’s murder and she is completely traumatised by the whole thing. It does not help as her stepbrother will spend his life in prison and the press do not leave her alone hoping for a twist in the story. Nancy gets to the point where she feels threatened to go out and decides that the best thing would be for her to leave London and she travels to Sidmouth in Devon. Nany inherited a house in Sidmouth from her grandmother which was now empty. The house itself had many different guises but it was mainly a boarding house during the Second World War. When she disappeared she even left her fiancé, Alex, who she felt she could not commit to with all the “baggage” she was carrying. Nancy is carrying a secret which will haunt her and so disappearing was the best thing. The story continues in a great way and it brings in all manner of characters which you could not help but enjoy. I enjoyed the way the story weaved in and out of her life as well as her grandmother and her friend and their World War stories. Things are improving for Nancy and she feels that she could well settle and then Martin gets in touch with her from prison. She does not understand how he found her but he has and her life becomes complicated again. All does come together and the book has a good ending. I loved the book especially the way it went backwards and forwards through the different times.

I have enjoyed the previous novels by this author but I am afraid this one did not hit the mark for me. Slow burner. Dual timeline confusing at times and ending predictable.. Did not live up to it’s premise. Would definitely read her next book though. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.
