I have been a big fan of this authors work but sadly this one was a flop for me. The writing was very basic but no description. It was not a great read at all.

This was quite a muddled book. It starts off very quickly and then it turns into a dual time-line. Set in present day and 1940. I found the quick changing of the eras quite confusing and got bogged down with it. Not as good as I'd hoped. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this thriller, I’m a massive fan of different timelines, in this, my favourite timeline was WW2

The author always writes interesting characters

Not one of my favourite books
Set in two time lines now and ww11
It’s a bit confusing and it didn’t really appeal to me
Thanks NetGalley

When Nancy’s stepbrother is convicted of the murder of his father and her mother, she decides to escape from the public glare. Settling in her grandmother’s old house in Sidmouth, Devon, she feels safe and relaxed. But the house has its own secrets to tell.

Jane Corry writes some excellent thrillers, and Coming to Find You is no exception. The intrigue builds up nicely and there’s always a little sting in the tail at the end. Well worth reading, and a thoroughly enjoyable story. Would recommend to all.

It took a while to really get into this book.
Told in 2 different times, a fascinating connection of family, love and murder.

Coming to Find You is set on the coast in Devon in Nancy's grandmother's regency house called Tall Chimney's.
This book was interesting to me due to it being in two different timelines, the present day and WW2. I like how they both took place at the same location and were linked.
I was gripped throughout and I really enjoyed the WW2 timeline.

Jane Corry is one of my go-to authors, her writing is fantastic and her books haven’t let me down so far!

This book honestly gave me chills! It’s a fantastic mystery and will have you gripped from the first page until the last !
If you’re looking to completely get lost in a story then look no further!
Would highly recommend

Enjoyed the juxtaposition between the modern day plot and the WWII plot. I actually enjoyed the latter more and found it fascinating. Looking forward to reading more from the author,

I enjoyed this book, despite it being a little slow paced. There are 2 timelines that are intertwined throughout the book. We have Nancy in the present day and Elizabeth during the Second World War. The common denominator being the house in Sidmouth.

Jane Corry is a infuriatingly underrated author in my opinion.
Every book ive read of hers has been well paces, easy to follow yet twisty and interesting.
This book is no exception.
The perfect thriller to read late into the night.

Coming to find you is the first book by Jane Corry that I have read although I do own a couple of her other books which I will definitely be reading in the near future.
Coming to find you has a dual timeline, the one focusing on Nancy after a family murder and the other focusing on Elizabeth at the start of World War 2.
I found this book interesting and liked the way that it intertwined the two story lines together and how it all came together at the end giving the majority of the characters a happy ending.
Coming to find you was a really easy read but I didn’t feel like there was much action during the book and felt myself waiting for something exciting or unexpected to happen. I didn’t feel like this happened but this made a great palate cleanser book between more action packed books.

This was a really enjoyable read. Loved the split timeline story. Very well written with lots going on that had me hooked from the start. Another great read from Jane Corry.

Highly recommended and deserves the 5 stars.

Thank you Netgalley

I thought this was a great read. Two characters, Elizabeth , whose story begins at the beginning of the Second World War and Nancy, whose story is present day. Both stories set in the same house years apart. A really enjoyable read.

The books starts with a serious crime, not just murder but the murder of your mother and step father by your stepbrother. The press would be all over a story like this so Nancy decides to escape the press circus by escaping to her old family home 'Tall Chimneys' a home on the Devon Coast. Although the house has been in the family for many years and Nancy has spent much time their when she was younger, she had not previously noticed the engraving of two names in one of the bedrooms.
with strong female leads and tragedy. The two stories are blended together with well developed characters in a way that draws you in.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.

Jane Corry always writes great books and this one was up there with the others.

Told between two timelines, Nancy in the present day and Elizabeth during WW2, gives the story a great narrative. Both womens lives revolve around past secrets and the grand old house Tall Trees. What are the secrets that tie the two women to the house and will past secrets come back to haunt them.

A really great read.

I really enjoyed this story, the first by this author for me. The dual timelines added to the gripping plot and I really enjoyed the gradual revelations. Some difficult subjects were tackled and it was a tense read at times. Well written with real characters- one I’d recommend

A story about a house in two half’s. Nancy and her mismatched family and Elizabeth coping during the war with an unforgiving husband a missing son and evacuates. But underlying both stories is murder.

I really enjoyed this novel, it's the first book I've read by this author, but would absolutely read more. I really like her writing style, the novel was easy to follow and events made sense. I liked the story being told in the past and present, how the past laid the necessary history for the present story to come together. The characters were well developed and described and likeable (or not), I connected with both main characters.

An enjoyable read. The two time lines worked, they don't always and it was well written and made me want to continue and find out what happened. Good character development.
