Description

WILL YOU UNCOVER THE TRUTH?
The breathtaking new thriller from the author of the Richard and Judy bestseller NOW YOU SEE HER
____________________________
A DEADLY DISCOVERY.
AN ISLAND WRAPPED IN SECRETS.

A tiny community is stunned when long-buried body is found.

For Stella Harvey the news is doubly shocking. The body has been uncovered in the garden of her childhood home - the home her family fled without explanation twenty-five years ago.

Desperate to unearth the truth, Stella returns to the isolated island. But the community she left isn’t as welcoming as she remembers – and people will go to any length to protect their secrets.

One thing rings true…
You can’t bury the truth forever.

Featured Reviews

A mystery thriller set during two periods - the 1990s in the childhood of the main character, Stella, and the present day. The latter is in the first person, narrated by Stella whilst the historical aspects are third person and typically told by her mother. The family moved from Birmingham to a remote island off the coast of Dorset, where Stella was born, and from there they, equally precipitously, moved in 1993 when she was 11. The children grew up and we come to the present day when a skeleton of a young woman is found just outside their old garden on the island. Stella determines to find out who she was and how she died partly because of issues and uncertainties within her own family. Returning to the island she finds herself at odds with the islanders, where everything seems to have changed a lot in the intervening 25 years, or has it? The plot deepens, twists and turns and asks searching questions of behaviours both in the 1990s and today. It is a riveting read and the reader feels for Stella and her desire to understand - her family, origins, future. I found her sister less sympathetic to start with but, as the story unfolds, that changed. The story flowed well, there were good descriptions of places and feelings and excellent context. I shall look out for other titles by this author. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Random House, for sending me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and Heidi Perks for the privilage of reading Come Home to Me in advance of its release.
When a body is discovered on the periphery of her childhood home Stella is drawn back to the island she fled under the cloak of darkness as a child. A plot of intrigue and mystery ensues.
