Thanks to Jane and NetGalley for allowing me to read Coming to Find You before the publication date.

Tall Chimneys is at the heart of the book. It has harboured many secrets over the years.
Jane has focused on the 1940s and the current time.
As the two main storylines are intertwined, thhere are so many threads within threads.

In the current day, Martin Greenfield is convicted of murdering his father and stepmother.
His stepsister, Nancy is relieved, until she is warned that those associated with a killer can become an easy target for the media.

On her mothers’ death, Nancy has inherited Tall Chimneys, a large house in Devon.
Terrified, she quietly leaves her life in London for Devon.
Despite having changed her phone number, she starts to get intimidating, demanding calls from Martin. Then the press arrive on the doorstep.
Who has been giving out her private information? Who can be trusted?

In parallel with Nancy’s story, Jane takes the reader back to the second world war.
As a young woman, Elizabeth had inherited Tall Chimneys when it was a boarding house.
She is beside herself as her husband Henry has bullied their 17 year old Philip, their only child, to enlist.

In an attempt to escape the bombing in London, evacuees are arriving in the area and accommodation is in short supply. Her friend Adeline asks Elizabeth to take in 2 young girls and their teacher.
For the first time, Elizabeth stands up to Henry and agrees to house them.

What will be the consequences?

This book is an easy read. Jane’s writing incorporates atmosphere in every chapter, leaving the reader dangling and waiting for the next.

A story set in the past and the present which has been wonderfully woven together to create a superb balance. The story starts in the past with the murder of two people a woman and a man and the fact that the son Martin apparently did it. I found the characters very believable and the descriptive settings very well described. The story kept me not wanting to stop reading as I found the intrigue simply gripping. I loved the innuendo’s that were placed so well and that are me keep rethinking about what was really happening.. A great read that I recommend to all mystery lovers .

I couldn’t wait to get stuck into this as this is one of my favourite authors. Loved how this book was told over different time lines and how the past was interwoven with the future and how we got the different characters viewpoints this added to the storyline and enjoyed reading about the events of the war and the history of tall chimneys interspersed with current day murder such a clever plot.

This was a page turning and gripping read and loved how the secrets of the past evolved and made way for the future

This would make an excellent tv dramatisation.

Coming To Find You by Jane Corry

I loved this book!

After the murder of her mother and step-father Nancy runs away from all the reporters hounding her to her grandmother’s house near the coast lovingly known as “Tall Chimneys” There she finds refuge and rekindles old friendships as well as learns the history of Tall Chimneys and the small coastal town.

This book is written in three timelines; Present day from Nancy’s POV, 1941-1946 from Elizabeth’s POV and The Night of the Murder – where bit by bit we learn what really happened on that terrible night when Nancy’s Mother, Violet, and step-father, Duncan were murdered.


I loved everything about this book. It was a true edge on your seat thriller and as soon as one chapter ended, I had to read the next one.


I would like to thank Net Galley and Penguin General UK for a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review

Coming to Find You by Jane Corry is an engrossing psychological thriller covering two separate time lines, the first during the Second World War and the other other is in the present..
Nancy has been in the headlines since her mother and step father were murdered by her stepbrother, Martin when they were all together to celebrate her mother’s birthday. She then decides to move to, a quiet seaside village, where her grandmother house is. Tall Trees holds happy childhood memories for Nancy.
The old house also holds wartime memories and these are unfolded and murder is discovered. The history of the house and the people who lived there are discovered and the secrets they kept.
The past and the present both hide secrets that unfold throughout the book before life can move on and new memories can be found.
Highly recommend

This is an intriguing dual perspective domestic suspense story centred around a Devonian house. In current times Nancy has fled there after her stepbrother was jailed for murder but finds it difficult to feel free; back during the Second World War Elizabeth finds her world turned upside down after her son enlists. I really enjoyed the modern day side of the story and Nancy’s stepbrother was quite a character, I did also enjoy the wartime aspect but for me they felt like two separate stories that didn’t quite work together but are good in their own right although that might be my expectations that this would be more of a thriller. 7/10

Wow!! I loved this book. Spanning 2 generations, story of Nancy whose Mother and Step Father were murdered by allegedly her step brother Martin who was sentenced & jailed. Throughout you get the feeling Nancy is hiding something. Told in points of view of Nancy and her Grandmother's friend, Adaline, during WWII. A real gripping story lots of twists you keep you gripped. Read it!

A great read full of twists,turns and revelations!
Nancy had a tumultuous childhood due to her mothers partner and his son snd the repercussions of this have far reaching effects!
Told in the present and the past we find out about life in sidmouth during the war years and the secrets that Nancys inherited family home may hold! A fantastic enlightening trip back in time that yields many answers and helps Nancy come to terms with her predicament and move forward and in doing so help others in need.
An intriguing read with a historical element that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you netgalley fir this early read.

Set in Sidmouth and written during the second world war and the present day, this book takes you on an emotional journey. Full of sacrifice and courage, I loved this book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book

Something really different here.
One house with a huge history, beautifully written with just enough drama.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
Highly recommend.

Gripping story with near and distant past and present cleverly interwoven to show how the secrets of the past will always come to find us. Clearly defined characters each move the story along as the truth is gradually revealed.

Absolutely brilliant. Did she do it? What did she do? These are questions that I quickly found myself asking and couldn't wait to find the answers. What I wasn't expecting was to find a whole lot more too! I loved the way it was not only focused around our main character Nancy but the house itself and travelling back in time to the house during the war and Nancy's grandmother. Full of twists and turns and had me gripped throughout right until the end!

What a lovely book. Parts are set in WWII & parts I the current day. The mix is faultless. Fabulous story line that really draws you in. Brilliant characters
