About this deal

The book is about Nancy, who’s step brother has just been charged with the murder of her mum and step dad. I liked the 1941 timeline better than the Nancy/Martin one, which I somehow couldn't engage with at all - the story and characters never really came alive for me. Tall Chimneys the family home and Sidmouth are so beautifully portrayed, I felt like I had been to visit them personally. There’s an come clues, but they just read like facts, I didn’t mind reading them, but I wasn’t eager to find them out either. Coming To Find You explores the effects of serious crime on the perpetrator's family, and does it very well.

Jane was a tutor in creative writing at Oxford University; an RLF Fellow at Exeter University; and is a regular contributor to the Daily Telegraph and My Weekly magazine. Big Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin General UK - Fig Tree, Hamish Hamilton, Viking, Penguin Life, Penguin Business for my copy. As a reader you are equally excited and intrigued to read either story which makes the book unputdownable.It has all the delightful twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not quite with its usual thrill. i appreciate the tribute to the second world war (although it wasn't originally advertised as historical fiction, it very much is) but i felt like it was forced down our throats. 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. The historical fiction section of this story was wonderful, it showed what life was like at home for those left behind, missing loved ones who had gone to fight and hearing news of deaths from bombings and the trauma that this leaves.

The two young girls Maisie and Shirley shared a room and their teacher Stephen Smith had another room. This book reads as if two completely separate genres and stories have been forced together with very little, or weak, connections made between the storylines.Coming to Find You by Jane Corry is a Thriller chock full of secrets and surprises, some pleasantly unpredictable. My favorite part of this book was learning more about our MCs and how well their characters were developed. The house almost feels like a character in its own right, and definitely takes on the mood of the inhabitants.
