A great domestic thriller. The story is told from dual POVs. The book had many twists. The characters are well fleshed out.
An intriguing slow burn thriller

I fell out of love with thrillers for a while as so many seemed far fetched and predictable. But We All Have Our Secrets was a pleasant surprise. Whilst there is plenty of second guessing and intrigue, it wasn't predictable and it kept me turning the pages as I was hooked on the storyline. Complex characters and really interesting flashbacks made this fast paced and addictive. And the characters were flawed, but human and relatable, rather than being spiteful and manipulative for the sake of. Thank you for restoring my faith in the thriller genre.

Midwife Emily returns to her childhood home in Cornwall after a serious incident at the London hospital where she works.

Upon her arrival she is shocked to discover a young woman has moved in. Emily had no idea her father was looking for a carer and the arrangement seems far too familiar and cosy.

The secrets emerge as the story unfolds across dual timelines and multiple perspectives including Emily, her father, and the carer.

3.5 ⭐ rounded to 4

I love a book told from different perspectives and I love this writer. She is consistently good. Her characters are always 3D and this book is no different. I loved the twists and the getting to know each person. Really, really good 5/5.

This is a story based the story of Emily and Francoise.

Emily is a midwife in London who is having to juggle her workload ar0und caring for her elderly father in Cornwall when she can.

After a serious incident at work ends with Emily losing her job she goes to where she feels safe, her childhood home. When Emily arrives she is shocked to find her father has a new carer from France, Francoise.

Emily is suspicious of Francoise's motives and her of lack of trust, suspicion and certainly jealousy are put across loud and clear. Emily feels that their relationship, at times, is unnatural.

I did feel that the first half of the book was stronger than the second half. I found that there was an awful lot of repetition with the POVs of both Emily and Francoise overlapping and a lot of things got thrown in the mix that at times felt insignificant/unnecessary..

All in all this was a good overall read but not the usual psychological thriller that I've come to expect from Jane Corry.

This is a suspenseful read and twist that you don't see coming. It's got everything you want in a thriller!

Emily is a midwife who suffers a serious incident at work. She returns to Cornwall to care for her ailing father Harold, his dementia has been worsening along with her increase in guilt. But when Emily arrives she is greeted by an unwelcome surprise - her father has hired a carer Francoise.

Francoise is a beautiful French lady who claims that Harold had advertised for help, but Emily is instantly suspicious as Harold has never asked for help in the past and she is jealous of their closeness.

Emily does not trust Francoise but she doesn't trust herself either, as each of them have a secret and one of them will do anything to keep it!!

I love Jane Cory's other books and this one did not disappoint. A great read full of twists that kept me fully engaged throughout.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

A good beach read! Gets you hooked really quickly, an easy read full of twists and turns.
Interesting characters, good story.

I could not get into this book, ultimately it was not form me and I could not finish it. It may be one for other readers

I enjoyed this book but didn’t get really invested in the characters for some reason i don’t really understand. Worth a read though.

I always try to find something positive to say in my reviews but I’m afraid I really disliked this book. It was just one cliche after another and so many of the situations were so contrived - I have a lot of experience as a family-finder so I know how unrealistic the situations were. On top of that, I really didn’t like any of the characters which made it very hard to care what happened to them all.

Wow, wow, wow - that was good.
I haven't read a Jane book for ages and didn't know why and know I now I need to read more.
This is a great novel and I highly recommend everyone reads this.

I went into this blind, I thought it was a psychological thriller, but it reads more like a domestic drama, it started off great, then drifted to okay, there was no shock in the reveals which I was hoping for as I continued to read.
The book surrounds three people. Emily, a midwife who is on suspension, her father Harold and his carer/home helper, Francoise, all are keeping secrets.

I enjoyed Harold’s entries in the book as they were from his time in the war, it was very interesting.

I have read Jane Corry’s other books and really enjoyed them, this one was different, it was okay and I know a lot of my friends would enjoy it, as I did. It just wasn’t what I thought it would be.

3.5 stars

Jane Corry is a masterful storyteller....We All Have Our Secrets continues that tradition. Great read, engaging characters....a no brainer, give it a read!

Another strong book by Jane Corry. Although I have enjoyed other the authors other novels more this is well worth a read and has lots a twists to keep you guessing.

gripping, addictive and completely unpredictable. I devoured this book in just one sitting. This is unique and pulled me in quickly. Well-written and able to transport the reader.

This was my first time reading a book from the author but I am delighted to say I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I look forward to reading more books from the writer in the future!

I really wanted to like this book as the blurb drew me in but unfortunately it fell a bit flat for me. The story started off well but I felt once Emily had returned to Cornwall it just dimmed a little

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book was fantastic! Another fabulous book by Jane Corry. I loved the fast pace throughout not seeing any of the surprises coming either. It twisted back and forth and left me wanting to stay up longer to finish it. Definitely an amazing book but only read if you have the time to start and finish it in one go.

Oooooh this was so good! Totally unexpected, so clever, a total page turner, simply flew through the pages. A fabulous get away from it all book.

Another triumph for Jane Corry!
