Thank you to @netgalley and @penguinbooksireland for the ARC

After hearing so many good reviews of Jane Corry's novels, she had been on my TBR list for months so I was super excited to read this one and it didn't dissapoint.

Full of suspense and drama, twists and turns, this was a book that kept me hooked right from the very first page.

I can't wait to read what she writes next.

Emily flees back to her father's house after a problem at work, but soon discovers her father has a new home carer. What secrets does the new carer have, and what influence does she have over Emily's father? This makes for a very thrilling read, full of secrets and suspense!

This was an exciting read, which took more unexpected twists and turns that should work - yet it did!

Emily has a secret and returns home to avoid facing her actions to find her elderly father being cared for by Francoise. The relationship between the three is slowly revealed and none of them are exactly what they are publicly portraying. Emily's back story of the ex who has abandoned her, but now is back on the scene, seemed a little cliched and, perhaps, unnecessary. I also found the timeline slightly implausible. Harold, Emily's father, is not a likeable man, though as his character develops, it is easy to misunderstand him.

The book neatly ties everything up and resolves the odd relationships between them all and this felt a little forced to me. Yet, I was glad to see that Emily and Francoise achieved a peace in their lives.

Fast paced, lots of threads to keep track of!

Thank you for providing me with an advance review copy of this book. Enjoyed reading, would recommend....

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.

Jane Corry's books are always a great read and this one didn't disappoint.

After an incident at work Emily goes back to her elderly father and her childhood home Willowmead House. However, after arriving she discovers not only has her father taken on a young french housekeeper but that she also seems to be keeping secrets of her own.

As Emily becomes more obsessed with finding out the truth her fathers health takes a turn for the worst. With both women lying to cover their pasts and secrets, who will come out on top.

Cracking read and a real page turner to the great ending.

A brilliant read, full of suspense and twists. Keeps you guessing all the way through and is quite difficult to put down.

I enjoyed reading this, characters were very believable and I loved the storyline. Gripping, interesting and recommended
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion

Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for sending this to me for review!

This book suffers the fate of being marketed as many have before it as a thriller when it's not a thriller at all.

I found this story to be a bit all over the place, it's told from two points of view and we have a point of view from 1945 which I didn't even bother to read and didn't feel like I lost anything, I felt like this book was all over the place and didn't really flow well sadly. The story itself was OK but a bit bland and draggy.

A wonderfully crafted thriller with enough twists to keep the reader guessing.
Endearing, complicated characters push the narrative forward at an easy-to-read pace.
Lots of drama and conflict keep the read fresh.

Highly recommend.

After being suspended from her midwife job pending an enquiry, Emily returns to her father’s home in Cornwall. There she discovers a new live-in carer, Francoise, who appears to be on very friendly terms with the old man.

Another cracking story by Jane Corry, We All Have Our Secrets is told from the viewpoints of both Emily and Francoise. It keeps you guessing with many twists and turns along the way. The biggest twist of all comes right at the very end and was not what I was expecting at all.

Hugely entertaining read and would thoroughly recommend it.

This was an enjoyable and easy read. I liked how the characters grew throughout the story and how the storyline opened up and how the ending brought everything together.

A recommended read.

Thank you Netgalley.

When Emily flees London for her father's home in Devon after her career nosedives, she is shocked to find his dementia had worsened dramatically under the care of Francoise, his young, beautiful, and mysterious new nurse. There's something about Francoise that Emily just doesn't trust...but then Francoise isn't the only one keeping secrets...

I enjoyed this twisty thriller, though I thought at times it was a little overdone in the plot department and not as subtle as some of the author's other books which I've read and enjoyed. I liked the World War 2 elements woven in through Harold's diaries, and the suspense was well-built and well-managed.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for granting me a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jane Corry is a wonderful storyteller
I became immersed in this twisty tale
The atmosphere, characters and mood make you feel you're right there
Cannot wait for her next book

The book is a slow burn with twists that are baffling. Emily is a midwife and is hiding a secret when she moves back to Devon to stay with her father, Harold. Her father has dementia and has hired Francoise to help him with his daily life. But something about her doesn’t sit right with Emily. Everyone is holding a secret and it’s only matter of time before one explodes!

Jane Corry books are generally layered so they might start but soon picks up the pace. This book had all these elements however the ending did not justify the build up. The book narrated by Emily and Francoise alternately, interspersed by Harold’s diary notes. The book is good read and is more of domestic thriller


My rating for the book is 3.5 stars.

4.5 Stars from me

It's Christmas Eve and in the spirit of Jólabókaflóðið I am posting as many of my outstanding book reviews as I can!

I adore Jane Corry's books, they offer a mix of fast paced thriller and beautiful soft subtle sub plots.

We All Have Our Secrets is no different, on the face of it a fast and dirty thriller but woven in between there are exquisite visits to wartorn lands, gentle scenes of kindness, care and compassion along with family tensions and old loves.

This is a fabulous read, and much like Jane Corry's others, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

A fantastic tale that allowed the reader to get to know both Emily and francoise and feel invested in their stories. Thanks for the opportunity to read

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest, independent review.

After making the wrong decision at work, Emily runs back to her family's home of Willowmead House in Cornwall where she feels safe in the comfort of her elderly father.

But when she gets there, she comes face to face with Francoise, her dad's new carer.

However, rather than improve, her dad seems to deteriorate under Francoise's care and Emily knows Francoise is lying... and Francoise knows Emily is too...

I thoroughly enjoyed Jane Corry's latest novel! It was suspenseful, full of lies and deceit, and darkly emotive - everything you want in a page-turner!

The story is told in multiple points of view, by Emily and Francoise in the present day, as well as Harold reflecting on his past during the war, all of which adds some great character background and why they are the way they are.

The characters are complex, each hiding many secrets, making it hard to sympathise with them at times and what I felt about each kept changing. There are many uneasy situations throughout, causing great drama and twists galore!

I loved the rural, atmospheric setting of Cornwall, which adds a great layer to the tense drama with lots of village gossip and distrust.

We All Have Our Secrets was a well-written, compelling, gripping read with a great climax!

Another twisty thriller by this amazing author. Perhaps not my favourite but I did enjoy it. Only downside for me was I found it a bit repetitive at places.

Midwife Emily is suspended from duties after an incident during the birth of a child. She leaves London to stay with her 93-year-old-father Harold at Willowmead House in Cornwall.
There she discovers that a young French woman, Francoise, has moved in as his carer and Emily can’t help but react with suspicion and jealousy to their close relationship.
This domestic suspense novel revolves around mistrust as everyone is keeping secrets, including dating all the way back to World War II. I was enjoying the various reveals throughout but perhaps the ending was a bit too contrived.
