There is a secondary story of the same house during the war, showing the challenges women face.
A scary look at what can happen in step families, who are thrown together. Perfect for mystery, suspense, and womens fiction fans.

I really enjoy Jane Corey’s books, I’ve read them all and so far none have disappointed.
This psychological thriller is set between two timelines, it’s all about secrets and lies. Nancy, whose stepbrother Martin is in prison for murdering his father and Nancy’s mother at the family farmhouse, , just wants to escape all the publicity surrounding the case so goes to her maternal family home Tall Chimneys on the south coast. The story then moves to 1941 when Britain was in the grip of WW2. The house is owned at that time by Nancy’s grandmother’s friend Elizabeth and her husband and tells the story of their abusive marriage and what happens when a teacher, Mr Smith and his 2 pupils Maisie and Shirley are evacuated to Tall Chimneys and how the house ultimately comes into the possession of Nancy’s grandmother. The two timelines nicely merge with one another until it ends with the present day. The book is well written, the characters are very cleverly depicted. A thoroughly enjoyable book I would highly recommend. My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers Penguin for this ARC

I really enjoyed it I loved reading about the present and the past which takes you back to the war. After tragedy that happens to Nancy’s family she decides to hide in her grandmothers house Tall Chimneys unfortunately someone finds out where she is and Martin her stepbrother starts to message her she doesn’t feel safe anymore, there is so much intrigue and tension and you just hope that everything works out happy for her. I love all her books and can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC

This book went everywhere with me, glued to it from the first page to the end and wanted more. Such a great read……

My heartfelt thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read an early copy of this outstanding read, I absolutely loved it! I have read that others managed the book in one sitting but I purposely rationed myself because I just didn't want to come to the end.
Coming to Find You is full of real, relatable characters that you actually care about and a plot that is covered by two narratives (maybe three if you include the murder); present day and the Second World War, both of which take place in Sidmouth. All the main charcters are strong, resilient, likeable women, which in itself is quite remarkable which, even in this day and age is a rarity in itself.
I very quickly became invested in the lives of these women, was overcome with emotion on several occasions, and will miss them all now that I have finished reading. What more could you ask for in a book?

Nancy has just experienced the deaths and her mother and step father, and has been involved somehow in a court case involving her step-brother. She retreats to her family holiday house to escape the press intrusion. The story moves between the current day, the night of the big event, and the war time story of inhabitants of the house. The stories all tie up at the conclusion of the book in an interesting way, making this a satisfying read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for giving me an advance copy.

I thoroughly loved this book. The dual timeline worked a treat! The characters were absolutely amazing and the storyline kept me engaged right up until a spectacular ending!

What a great story. Set in the present, but also in the past especially during the war years. The war side of the story is quite riveting, and the characters truly believable. The present storyline about Nancy and her family was particularly poignant, but for me the characters weaved into the story from the war years is exceptional. It’s a great read and would recommend to others.

I was so excited to read this book. Jane Corry is in my top ten authors list (which changes a lot but she’s always in my top ten) it was a great read. Obviously very well written. Well plotted and a great book. More please !

Sweeping Tale..
A sweeping tale, a crime that cannot be forgotten and a deeply affecting atmosphere in this domestic suspense. A family tragedy spurs Nancy to make a move to her old family home in a seaside village - but it transpires that the past can never be forgotten. An immersive read with a well defined sense of place, an intriguing storyline effectively told in dual timeline and a well crafted cast of characters where the house itself becomes a character all of its’ own.

What a fantastic story. A great read with so many twists and turns it keeps you guessing right to the last page. Nancy takes refuge at her old family home after a terrible tragedy it doesn't take long for her to be tracked down and soon her secrets come out but she also discovers about her relatives during the second world war and as the stories come together it makes for a great read. Highly recommend this book

I loved this book. Set in different time lines with tragic circumstances in both this is an interesting look into war time Britain and also how in the beat of the heart circumstances can change. An extremely enjoyable read.

What a great read. Loved the story set in the present day and also during the Second World War. I was sucked in from the very first chapter.the story unfolded in both eras at the same time, flitting seamlessly between them, bring together the characters from both eras and their interrelationships. The storyline was very believable in both eras and very well told.

Jane Corry is one of my favourite writers of recent times; her books are full of heart, of well researched historical information that provides the perfect backdrop to her writing and characters who have depth and gravitas. Coming To Find You takes readers to a very specific setting with stories told of strong women both past and present, of subterfuge and a final twist that is almost heart wrenching.
There are times when I felt there was too much worked in, that there were too many stories to tell and that, sometimes, we were rushing through things that I would have liked to know more about and characters whose stories would have been fascinating to hear. Perhaps, one day, the author will return to tell the stories of these other characters and bring them in from the periphery.
The mystery is the hook but I don't feel that it is the centre of the story, I feel that the mystery is what brings all these characters together but it is the relationships, the shared grief, the sentiments of loss and gain, of how our history shapes us and how we shape those going forward and all the interpersonal connections that really kept me engaged in this story. Jane Corry has a way of bringing us so completely into the world she has created that, by the end, I felt like a next door neighbour to these characters.
A beautiful story, perhaps a bit too full at times, wonderfully told.

I received a free copy to review via Netgalley, below is the blurb.

"When her family tragedy is splashed across the newspapers, Nancy decides to disappear. Her grandmother's beautiful Regency house in a quiet seaside village seems like the safest place to hide. But the old house has its own secrets and a chilling wartime legacy . . .

I have read several books by this author and as I have said before, the books are not normally the type I would choose, however whenever I start reading one, I get hooked every time. The books although very different in there storyline follow a similar pattern of switching between 2 stories, one in present day and one set in the past, although the stories are ultimately connected. This book followed the same format, Nancy's present day story at Tall Trees and a story set during the war at Tall Trees with Elizabeth's relationships with her husband, evacuees and Mr Smith. This book did not disappoint and the writing style was familiar as soon as I started reading, in a good way! Another cracker of a book from this author, great read and I would recommend to both readers of Jane Corry and to new readers too.

Such a brilliant read set in 2 different times in the same house, one present day, one in the Second World War. As a reader you are equally excited and intrigued to read either story which makes the book unputdownable.
Brilliant writing, fantastic characters would 100% recommend

I have enjoyed all of Jane Corry’s books and this did not disappoint.

I loved the back and forth between past and present. It really helped to put the story together. The ending was great would definitely recommend this book.

What an incredible book, another bestseller for sure!

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader ebook, I couldn't wait to read this one.

'When Nancy’s stepbrother is sent to prison for killing her mother and his father, Nancy seeks refuge from the press at the family seaside holiday home in Devon. But Tall Chimneys was once owned by Elizabeth who took in evacuees during the Second World War and was also a member of Churchill’s Secret Army. Elizabeth hid a terrible secret. Can Nancy unlock it – and finally find peace for herself?'

A mark of a great book, at least in my eyes, is an inability to be able to put it down.
With this book, I stayed up hours past my bedtime, and it was totally worth it.

Spanning two time lines and a variety of wonderful, and not so wonderful characters - this was one heck of a story.

8:17 pm, a farmhouse, a block of knives and very sharp tongues. Fast forward to Nancy’s stepbrother Martin being convicted for the murder of Nancy’s mother and her stepfather, with Nancy herself facing a “silent sentence“. To avoid the inevitable press interest and intrusion she had is to her family bolthole of Tall Chimneys in Sidmouth, Devon. Here she lies low but is she safe? What really happened in the farmhouse that night? Only two people know the truth…….

I really like the premise which starts by examining the implications of serious crime on the perpetrators family. It takes the most intriguing direction and it leaves you with a multitude of questions which is both fascinating and immersive.

It’s well written, it doesn’t prevaricate and dramatically launches you straight into the storyline. I especially enjoy the emerging dual narrative of the present day with a second world war storyline and I ultimately find that is more compelling than the present day one.

With all the characters, you confront an intriguing conundrum of who are they really , what is their truth and what cloak of disguise are they wearing??? This is an especially good element.

The atmosphere the author creates is very good
too, there is a pervading rippling unease throughout both timelines and with plenty of emotion from guilt to fear. Tall Chimneys and Sidmouth make a superb backdrop and are used most effectively in both periods of time. The house almost feels like a character in its own right, and definitely takes on the mood of the inhabitants.

For the first 80%, I absolutely love the book, there’s a terrific air of mystery but in my opinion it becomes a bit overly dramatic, especially in the present day, although I may be an outlier here! Conversely, there’s one thing that affects Nancy for a lot of her life which I find a tad weak as I think I expected more. The ending though is enjoyable and very positive.

Overall, though it’s a cracking atmospheric read with a well blended dual timeline.

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Penguin General U.K. for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review.
