If I remember rightly, it was the cover design and description that first made me feel drawn to this book.

I liked this. Initially, I was expecting a straightforward thriller. It seemed to me that the protagonist was trying to escape something and I wanted to know what had happened to her, and what she was running away from.

There were two storylines - one set in the present day, and one set in the 1940s. This piqued my interest further, and I was interested to see how the two storylines were connected. In a sense, it felt like a modern thriller combined with a wartime saga, which seemed like an interesting combination.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

This was a beautifully written and amazing story surrounding a beautiful regency house and the people who lived in the house.
The people who lived there spanned three generations and a secret they shared.
Loved it and await her next book.
Thanks net galley for giving me an early copy to enjoy.

Jane Corry is a talented writer and this book didn’t disappoint. The plot was intricate and I really enjoyed the dual timeline and narrative, which was well executed and kept pulling me in.

The atmosphere was taut and chilling, with a great sense of impending doom in the modern day viewpoint.

The setting was also vivid and despite the creepiness of Nancy’s step-brother’s obsession and the secret in her past, I enjoyed spending time in Devon at the regency house.

I’m looking forward to Jane’s next psych thriller.

With thanks to the publisher, Netgalley and author for the ARC.

Nancy has returned to her childhood holiday home after the murder of her mother and stepfather. Her stepbrother Martin has been convicted of their murders. Nancy wants to hide away from the press and the rest of the world, but it's proving more difficult than she thought.
The story flicks between Nancy in the present day and her great Grandmother, her Grandmother's friend and the house Nancy is now calling home.
I did enjoy this book, and I would recommend.

One of my all time favourite authors and I usually race through her books at the fastest pace known to man.
This was not one of those books and was different to her usual style but I loved it just as much if not more.

I loved the flicking back in time and seeing two stories unfold in different years and how they unravelled and were linked.

I actually really enjoyed getting to know the characters more and reading in a slower pace. It made me appreciate it more and I took in all the details every step along the way.

Loved the ending - always a good ending from Jane !

I really really enjoyed this and whilst it was surprising from her other books it was definitely a pleasant one.

Hugely grateful for my copy of this book

I have read a few of Jane Corry’s books and have enjoyed them, so I was delighted to receive a copy of her latest novel, Coming To Find You, out in June. Thanks to Penguin UK and NetGalley for my copy.

The story is set across two timelines, the present day, and during WW2. The link between the timelines is Tall Chimneys, a beautiful, white, house in Devon.

Nancy is living in London but the press are having a field day after the trial of her stepbrother, Martin, for the murder of Nancy’s mother and stepfather. She flees to Tall Chimneys, a holiday home left to her by her mother, in an attempt to escape the press. Nancy is struggling with guilt and the fact she hasn’t told the whole truth. She feels uneasy at Tall Chimneys, did something happen there?

I thought the characters in this book were excellent and so well drawn. I particularly liked the characters in the WW2 parts of the book, you can’t help but warm to Elizabeth and the mischievous evacuees she takes in. Surprisingly, I didn’t like Nancy’s character that much but this didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story. Martin is certainly a very creepy character but I wonder if this could have been explored a little more.

The dual timeline aspect of the book works very well and it’s easy to follow what’s going on. It’s clear the author has done a lot of research about war time life.

Some parts of the plot were a little predictable, but the story is still good and well thought through. There are links between characters past and present and Tall Chimneys binds them together.
The setting of the book is well described and I could just see the characters on the beach or running to the air raid shelter.

The book explores various themes and the main one for me was relationships between both family and friends. Nancy has a difficult childhood which goes on to affect her relationships in life.

The cover of this book is nice and fits very well with the story.

I would definitely recommend this book and I very much enjoyed it. I found myself wanting to pick it up to squeeze in a few more chapters when I could.

Another exciting story from Jane but unfortunately not her best or most gripping . A history of a house called Tall Chimneys set in 2 periods covering the second world war when her forebears took in children from the cities. and also were part of a secret army in case of invasion ,and the present day when Nancy returns to the house to hide after her brother has been convicted of the murder of her mother and stepfather.but she is found by the press who are chasing up on the story. of the murder. The stepbrother also seems to have a hold over her and contacts her to threaten her about the murder.

Partly set during WW 11 and partly in the present day on the South coast of England this book grabbed me early on and kept me hooked throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable read and worthy of five stars. No hesitation in recommending

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review the ARC.

This wasn’t up there with my favourite Jane Corry’s unfortunately! We start with a murder – it is Nancy’s mother’s birthday and she has gone to visit her mum and step-dad along with her step brother. Something happens that leads her step brother to be arrested for the murder of their parents. The tension builds throughout the story as we learn that there is more to what happened than meets the eye, and Nancy has a secret to hide about that night.

Sadly, for me, the eventual reveal about what happened was a bit of an anti-climax.

Nancy hides away from the press reporting on the story by relocating to her grandmother’s house in Sidmouth. There she begins to uncover some secrets from the past, when the house was used as a boarding house during the second world war.

The story then begins to switch between Nancy’s point of view, in the present day, and that of Elizabeth, living at Tall Chimneys during the war.

I found Elizabeth’s accounts more gripping than Nancy’s – the secret army was very intriguing – although I felt like that part of the story never really got going!

The end was just a bit baffling – it felt like a lot of things were crammed into a few chapters as the connections were tied up. The very last paragraph sat very oddly next to the rest of the epilogue – perhaps it will be laid out differently in the published version, but in this version it seemed odd switching from the first person narrative to a random third person statement about something that hadn’t been mentioned before! I felt like there was too much focus on trying to wrap up everyone’s stories.

Another great read from Jane Corry.

Nancy is hiding away from the world at her family’s old holiday home, the story of which is told in a dual timeline featuring characters from the time of the Second World War and the secrets hidden away back then. Nancy has secrets of her own, following the end of a court case that has changed her life, leaving two members of her family dead and a third in prison for their murders. Just what is the truth about her new home, Tall Chimneys, as well as what Nancy witnessed on that fateful night. And just who else wants to find her?

I found this book engrossing and was caught up in the different timelines and stories being told. I tried hard to workout the secrets hidden away and loved the reveals at the end. Would recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

I loved the duel timeline in Coming to find you……..… present day and World War II. Each timeline has its own captivating story and are bursting with characters which are memorable.

Tall Chimneys the family home and Sidmouth are so beautifully portrayed, I felt like I had been to visit them personally.

Family tragedy leads to Nancy seeking refuge in tall chimneys hoping she will find peace and obscurity. Instead, she finds it impossible to run away from her past as it has followed her.

While dealing with her own problems Nancy uncovers secrets with have been held within the walls of tall chimneys.

This book had me captivated. I love the strong female characters each leaving their own mark as they struggled to deal with the unimaginable problems which surround secrets and murder.

Jane Corry has a great talent and this book showcase it perfectly. It’s definitely one I can wholeheartedly recommend my only problem was not being able to put it down .

Lucky to get a copy via netgalley.
Have read a few books by this author and have always enjoyed them. This one is no different, the twist and turns make a great plot and unexpected ending.

I absolutely loved this book and it was so close to being 5 stars. We follow Nancy as she desperately tried to escape the family tragedy that has befallen her. Instantly I felt a connection to Nancy and as rooting for her throughout the book. As the book progressed, Corry throws in multiple twists and surprises and it made for thrilling reading.
Surprisingly there is another plot thread, set in the past and I was equally hooked by this thread. The whole book combined to make for emotional, intriguing reading and I just loved it.
Corry's characters are perfect for this book too and tell the story really well. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin General UK for an advance copy.

Great writing (I can see why many would be excited to get hold of this latest one!) twists that kept me on my toes and thinking/trying to work out what would happen. The book has a great pace and is well put together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this

A beautiful and very compelling novel set in two timelines, the present day and the second world war. The characters are beautifully drawn and the plotting is very deftly done. Very well researched, the novel really brings Sidmouth to life, especially during the war. HIghly recommended, a wonderful read.

Brilliant! I read this book in 2 days as I couldn’t put it down. A great thriller with lots of suspense. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy

This ie a brilliant book from the genius that is Jane Corry. As always her book is filled with tension twists & turns. I loved the characters in this book & the dual timelines were so well written with excellent & gripping plots This is a super book & one of her best yet

Firstly, thank you to Netgallery, and Penguin for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Jane Corry is queen of thrillers! I’ve read all her books so I was ecstatic about getting my hands on her latest one! Wow what can I say this book was amazing, it was a fast paced and kept me guessing throughout a perfect book for psychological thrillers fans alike! The ending wow and I did not see it coming! This book was so good I read it in day!

Overall I throughly enjoyed this book and all the plot twists that it presented! Jane Corry definitely should be on everyones shelf!

A good twisty standalone thriller by author Jane Corry that I didn’t get totally gripped by but it was still well written and enjoyable.

Nancy feels forced to hide away from the world after her family tragedy is the focus of all the national newspapers, She heads for her grandmothers house, a very nice Regency house in a quiet seaside village for some privacy but the old house has its own secrets and a chilling wartime legacy. The problem is someone knows the truth about the night Nancy’s mother and stepfather were murdered and knows where to find her.

The story is told over two timelines and has some good characters that were well developed.

I did enjoy it and would rate it somewhere between a 3 and a 4 star rating.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Penguin UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
