Don't bother reading this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin General UK for giving me an advance copy.

Belinda life is very dull until that’s her husbands double life is exposed.
The books multiple PoV but they are very easy to follow.
Some parts felt a little unbelievable but other than that it was well written.

Thanks for early copy.

Once again she writing a gripping, twisty book.

From mouse,belinda I enjoyed the book from the very beginning

A dark but beautiful story which teaches of the power of forgiveness, especially forgiving yourself.

I really loved this book. The short chapters helped to keep me engaged, I thought it was well written and an engaging story line. It’s definitely an interesting take, and I enjoyed all the different settings, in a prison one minute, then by the sea the next.
I would recommend to anyone interested in thrillers.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for the arc!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.
I always enjoy this author’s books and this was no exception. From the first chapter, I was drawn in until the end.
Highly recommend

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. I've enjoyed Corry's previous books, but I think this was one of my favourites. Although I didn't find it particularly tense and I wouldn't particularly consider it a thriller, I was compelled by both Mabel and Belinda's stories throughout. The characters were well-written, the book well-paced, and the revelations revealed skillfully. A moving, intriguing read.

I really enjoyed this book, a definite 5 out of 5 stars and I will 100% be recommending this to friends!!

Thanks Netgalley and the Publishers. I have liked everything this author has written and this was no exception. Fast paced, page turner that had me hooked from the start

First time from this author. I found it hard to get into but once I did it was ok.
It's worth a read and would definitely read another book from this author

I was disappointed with this story because it felt like it didn't quite go deep enough. It was going from one scene to the next, without giving more details - like when Belinda was sent to prison, there wasn't much reflection or the sheer grief she must have felt...

I liked the way the two women bonded and shared their stories, that was nice and authentic.

I just couldn't be fully immersed because it jumped from too many storylines too quickly without going deeper.

Belinda and Mabel, in the present day, are such ordinary people however, in flashbacks, they are revealed to be anything but. Their stories are heartbreaking, complex, intriguing, exciting and surprising.
This is what I love about Jane Corry's books. Her characters are always relatable and endearing, always the person you could be sitting next to in a restaurant and never knowing what secrets lie beneath the facade. She knows when to push you and when to step back, and leave you on the edge and she knows how to create the most satisfying endings.
Yet another triumphant tale, with some of our darkest history embedded within. Excellent.

This was a very enjoyable read following the lives of Mabel and Belinda in two different timelines and then in the present where their lives cross. Good suspense and a solid ending.

The stranger in Room six is another suspenseful read by the author Jane Corry.
Belinda wants to start a new life after been released from Prison after serving 15 years for murdering her husband, Gerald. She gets help faking a DBS certificate so she can get a job at the Sunnyside Care home in Devon where she meets the oldest resident Mable who is also the owner of the establishment. Whilst in Prison Belinda became a Listener in prison listen and giving advice to several inmates. So, she has no problem communicating with her. Which gets Mabel talking about her life during the Second world war. Where secrets about her Aunt Clarissa and Uncle called ‘the Conel’ wherever found out someone might die.
This was an interesting read about the two women from different generations and over all I did enjoy discovering the two women’s stories. But with the two life stories going back and forth at times I felt sometimes a bit confusing. But it did end it did have satisfying conclusion, 4 stars from me.

I was amazed at how quickly I read this book and really powers through it. That’s the sign of a good book - slipping it into your bag when you might be able to squeeze in a few minutes reading here and there. Loved it and such a great story.

Another fantastic book from Jane Corry! A twisted duel timeline set thriller with some brilliant relatable characters! Another thoroughly gripping read that was impossible to put down from page 1!!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my ARC

A good read. The plot shows how life can turn on a sixpence in so many ways. The main characters were easy to relate to and had good story lines throughout.
The writing brought the people and their environment to life.
I will definitely read more by this author.

The Stranger in Room Six by Jane Corry is a compelling and atmospheric psychological thriller that grips the reader from the very first page. Fifteen years have passed since Belinda was convicted of her husband's murder, but she is now ready to rebuild her life. Her journey brings her to Sunnyside Home for the Young at Heart, a care home with an unsettling history.

Mabel, the home's oldest resident, has spent much of her life there, first as an evacuee during the Blitz and later as a keeper of its darkest secrets. These secrets, hidden for years, are now on the verge of being uncovered by a mysterious figure residing in room six. With the past lurking in the shadows, the tension steadily rises as secrets threaten to unravel.

The book cleverly weaves between past and present, offering the perspectives of both Belinda and Mabel. This dual timeline, combined with the multiple viewpoints, creates an immersive and intricate narrative. Corry expertly keeps readers on edge, blurring the lines between innocence and guilt, and making us question how much anyone can truly be trusted.

For fans of suspenseful, twist-filled stories, The Stranger in Room Six delivers a highly satisfying and thought-provoking experience. It is a book that keeps you guessing until the very last page, with its perfectly executed tension and richly developed characters.

A fantastic read I loved the dual timeline. The book was well written and it really engaged me all the way through. It kept me guessing all the way through

This book follows two female characters, the first is Mable, we meet Mable when she is an evacuee child during the Blitz and we are taken all the way through her life. The second female character is Belinda who seems to be in a loveless marriage and a mother to two daughters.

Belinda is confronted with a secret about her husband and in an altercation and within a split second her husband dies. After serving 15 years for murder, she is ready for her life to begin but can she leave her past behind or will the need for answers to the secrets that came to the surface 15 years ago pull her back.

Mable first lived in Sunnyside Home for the Young At Heart during the Blitz and now is the owner and the eldest resident within the care home.

Belinda becomes a carer at Sunnyside Home for the Young At Heart and embarks on a friendship with Mable whereby they tell each other their past stories of love and heartache, both holding onto their secrets tightly but Mable’s could be deadly.

There is a stranger in room number six who is watching and listening and they will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.

I love characters where you get to span their entire life, it gives you a real sense of connection to Mable and you understand where she has been, the heartache she has endured and the pain in the secrets she holds. The references to the Second World War completely fascinated me and gripped my attention. I don’t read historical fiction and I found it eye opening and captivating.

Following Belinda’s imprisonment and the struggles she had to overcome you cant help but feel that she is paying the price for sacrificing her own happiness for what she felt was the greater good of her children.

This book flicked from 1944 to the present day effortlessly. A story of friendship, the gift of listening and that some secrets we are willing to bury at all costs. Get pre-ordering!

I really enjoyed reading about Mabel and Belinda. Each had suffered throughout their younger lives and come together at Sunnyside where Mabel lives and Belinda starts work as a carer. They become firm friends and share their life stories with each other. Through the telling of the stories we find out exactly what happened to each of them.
