Two stories set 80 years apart and told side by side, the link being the house in which the action takes place. Secrets are slowly revealed, but something about it all just missed the mark for me. I was not as gripped as I should be, and the jumps between the two time frames made me feel I was trying to keep up with reading two different books. Sadly, for me, not one of the author's best.

A masterfully told story about the history of Two Chimneys a boarding house in Sidmouth.
Nancy fled to her family home following the trial of her stepbrother for the murder of her stepfather and mother. The house harbours a history of secrets and the more time she spends with the locals, the more she learns about its past.
I was fascinated by the ww2 events, delicately but realistically retold.

I LOVED IT! I always find Jane’s books thrilling but I loved the added touch of history to this tale. Jane really pulls her reader into the thick of the story and the storyline itself is structured well smoothly passing between then and now. The characters are brought to life on the page and each scene is set beautifully.

Absolutely loved this. Jane Corry doesn’t put a foot wrong and she’s delivered another captivating and enthralling thriller that I whipped through in a couple of sittings. There’s a dual timeline to the narrative and I found the WWII sections particularly fascinating. A real sense of time was created. Every story she writes takes the reader somewhere different and this has excellent pace and twists to keep you reading. A brilliant read.

My thanks to the publisher for a review copy via Netgalley.

I could not put this book down!

I loved the dual timeline aspect of this book and the twists kept me hooked until the final page.

The way the book came together at the end was excellent and I look forward to my next Jane Corry read.

This is a book with a lot going on. I really liked the description of Sidmouth and Elizabeth’s story… overall, it didn’t grip m as much as I would have liked it to though.

Coming to Find You tells the story of Nancy who is seeking refuge at the family’s bolthole, Tall Chimneys, in Devon after the murder of her mother & step-father, for which her step-brother Martin has been convicted. But what really happened in the farmhouse that night?

This book is set across three time periods. In 1941, we follow the life of Nancy’s grandmother, tall chimneys and the war. The night of the murders, told through short flashbacks, and then there’s the present day.

I absolutely loved the 1941 timeline, reading about the evacuee girls, life during the war and the heartache at Elizabeth’s only child going off to fight the German’s. I found the plot and the characters really engaging and sadly more captivating than the present day Nancy & Martin storyline, where it all seemed a little flat and less exciting to read. I was left with a few questions towards the end but thankfully these were checked off in the form of a letter from the past that Nancy finds, giving the story it’s closing.

The authors writing style of short sentences and quick chapters made the book easy to read.

This my first book by this author and I’ll definitely be checking out her future releases.

Alternating between the second world war years and present day, this thought provoking thriller is a well woven story of family, home, murder, friendship and love. Told from the perspective of Elizabeth and Nancy, two occupants of a grand house in Sidmouth two generations apart. Nancy’s stepbrother has murdered his father and her mother in a bloodbath amid a tragic birthday celebration. In despair and with tabloid journalists wanting their pound of flesh, she flees London to the family holiday home in Sidmouth. Unable to shake off her demons despite her move, her life threatens to spiral out of control and finding it difficult to trust anyone, she wonders where she can ever find peace. Living in the same house, some 80 years earlier is Elizabeth. Trying her best to keep her husband happy and that of her paying guests, she then takes in evacuees from London together with their teacher. Desperately missing her son Philip, fighting abroad, struggling with rations and an abusive husband her hardship is very real but she has a steely determination about her. The two stories run side by side until connections are formed with twists and revelations aplenty. The question remains, is there ever any justification for murder?

I love Jane Corry's books and really enjoyed this one with a dual timeline of the present story and the past. Nancy is fleeing a scandal and holes up at the home she inherited from her grandmother. While she is there she learns of two children who lived there during the war and begins to investigate. Both stories had me hooked and I loved the characters and the way wartime life and emotions was brought to life.
Another five stars for Jane Corry from me.

A really enjoyable read with a dual timeline spanning World War Two and the present day. I loved the wiritng style and the characters were really well developed. A great read

What a stunning book beautifully written by a talented author!
Coming To Find You is set in a beautiful coastal regency house set in seaside village in Devon (hence the beautiful cover). The setting is very picturesque and sets the scene beautifully.
There is a dual timeline in the book, one for Nancy who is hiding away from a family tragedy, the other set in 1941, Nancy's grandmother Elizabeth who took in some evacuees from London to keep them safe from the bombings. That storyline was fabulous and I wished my mother in law who was a young child evacuated from London herself was still alive so that I could buy her the hardcopy of the book. Gripping storylines, both of them and a wonderful escape murder mystery to experience.
Could not recommend this book strongly enough...

The duel narrative of this story, whilst slow at times mainly kept me hooked each time it switched. Although it took me longer to get into Elizabeth's side of the story then it did Nancy's. I ended up throughly enjoying both sides of this story and the links and the mirroring.

A solid 4 stars that makes me want to delve into Jane Corry's back list.

I enjoyed this dual timeline novel set in the coastal town of Sidmouth in Devon. A beautiful house, Tall Chimneys, links the two timelines: present day and the early 1940s. Nancy, escaping from a family tragedy that is in all the newspapers, runs back to the house but finds her problems follow her. Meanwhile, we are introduced to Elizabeth in wartime whose son is missing. There is so much intrigue in this wartime timeline and I found it really engaging. The narrative moves cleverly between the two timelines and held my interest throughout. I liked the descriptions of Sidmouth and felt that I was there. There’s plenty going on in the novel and the ending is exciting and satisfying.

Amazing!!!! I loved it! It was like 2 stories in one book! I couldn’t put it down! Perfect ending and all wrapped up neatly! Fantastic book look forward to more from this author!

An excellent book that spans 2/3 generations beautifully. Sidmouth came to life in this book. People's perceptions of time and events take a new twist in this book. Really enjoyed. Thank you for giving me the chance to pre-read this. Now awaiting the next one from jane.

Well written, and good characters. I like this author. I just found this a slow mover. Still, the dual time line was great and the setting beautiful.

Nancy seeks refuge in her family seaside home from the press and public following the murder of her mum and step-father. As each day goes by memories flash before her as the difficulties of each day progress.

The seaside home was inherited through her mother's side of the family given to her grandmother by a friend from the war era. The house has its own characteristics which have never been what they always seem.

Both stories intertwine beautifully with one and other in such a way that makes the story irresistible. I sat and read the book in one sitting because I just could not put the book down.

🌊COMING TO FIND YOU🌊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So grateful to @netgalley and @publishers for approving me for this eARC.

@janecorry is an autobuy author for me and I was super excited to read her latest novel, Coming To Find You. As someone who loves, and lives by, the sea I absolutely love that Corry writes stories taking place by the sea.

Coming To Find You starts the night of a murder. Nancy runs away to her late grandmother's home by the sea to escape the tragedy. There are so many secrets to unravel.

I loved everything about this book. It was fast paced and I struggled to put it down. There were dual timelines and more than one POV. I loved Nancy and really wanted the best for her. I also loved Elizabeth and Adeline and was really invested in their story taking place during the Second World War.

I would 100% recommend this book to everyone and have already told my mum I'm buying her the paperback when it comes out!

Coming To Find You will be released on 22nd June 2023 ✨

This book has a duel storyline, in the present Nancy has taken refuge in a seaside home she has inherited from her mother after a terrible tragedy has befallen her family.
The other storyline is set in 1941 during the Second World War in the same house. The homeowner Elizabeth has taken in some evacuees from London to keep them safe from the bombings.
I enjoyed this book particularly the 1941 storyline.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

A heart warming novel, best described as a dual time line historical /present day following the occupants of a large house by the coast in Devon. Both storylines really pull the reader in, with a touch of mystery in both stories which comes together very satisfactorily at the end. A perfect beach read for the summer. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advance review e copy.
