Plus, the main plot for the modern timeline wraps up just over the halfway point so you feel you're reading the longest ending to a book ever.

Nancy's pov was dull and she left nothing to the imagination and the plot was all done in like the middle of the book. 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. It seemed that every time she did something bad it was really only an accident, or she was made to do it. Nancy is hoping to start afresh where nobody knows her or her secrets, but things have a way of catching up with you! Coming to Find You by Jane Corry is a Thriller chock full of secrets and surprises, some pleasantly unpredictable.It's not bad, it just doesn't actually have much meat on the bone in terms of a story, which is why I think we get POV two.

Parallels of theme between the two stories add depth and the way the strands are gathered together into a satisfying finale is so skilfully written. Nancy witnessed the horrendous murders of her mother and step father and the high-profile case meant Nancy was never at ease. I found this incredibly interesting as I haven’t come across this term before, but it is the idea that when somebody commits a crime their family/friends or even victims are condemned in addition to the perpetrators.

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. The story really grew on me, particularly the war time aspect, and it all fitted together nicely in the end. But the end of the trial is just the beginning of a new nightmare for Nancy: the press is rabid, certain that she is hiding something. A dark, twisty, dual timeline murder mystery that is at times bloodchilling and at others more quietly domestic.

If you love a good murder, mystery, addictive thriller then get yourself a copy of this now you will not be disappointed. There may be many decades between the main characters and events but there are parallels with both stories – controlling characters, guilt and murder.I would love to share more about things that happened in the story but the synopsis doesn't give much away, so neither am I. Henry was not a nice man, but he had his demons from the First World War, you get the impression he only married Elizabeth because she owned Tall Chimney’s, a beautiful house with amazing views. Which is also where the past timeline comes in as we are introduced to Elizabeth, who owns the house and runs it as a boarding house during the Second World War. As I stated earlier, it wasn't boring, but I felt myself waiting for the stories to blend together (which they really don't until the very end), and I wanted a big twist in the present timeline that just didn't happen. 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.

There was incredible pacing for a thriller and many twists and turns that I felt came to a satisfying conclusion at the end. There is a dual timeline in the book, one for Nancy who is hiding away from a family tragedy, the other set in 1941, Nancy's grandmother Elizabeth who took in some evacuees from London to keep them safe from the bombings. This writing style jumps around a lot so its hard to keep up with what's going on, you just have to really pay attention lol.

It doesn't lower my rating or enjoyment of the book at all but it stands out as a bit of an annoying device. We often forget that the people in history also made assumptions about their futures that could be wrong and could have serious consequences.
