About this deal
Everything I love in a book - Lisa Jewell, author of The Family Upstairs on The Lies We Tell You may also be interested in. After a sensational trial which sent her stepbrother to prison for a double murder, Nancy flees to the Cornish countryside to escape the prying eyes of the public and media.
It’s pretty obvious she’s not telling the entire truth about what happened the night of her family tragedy, and there is something rather unsympathetic about her despite everything she’s been through. It has all the delightful twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not quite with its usual thrill.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. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors'Yet another twisty, exciting book that I couldn't put down' Heidi Perks, author of The Whispers'Combines the heart-warming with the thrilling' Emma Curtis, author of Invite Me In'Her best yet. Coming To Find You is set in a beautiful coastal regency house set in seaside village in Devon (hence the beautiful cover).
I didn’t think I was going to like this when I first started this book but I’ve always enjoyed this authors books so decided to continue and I’m very glad I did. However it exceeded my high expectations, being an absolute cracker of a thriller, tautly written with a feeling of menace that creates compelling tension throughout. This is a dual timeline story, with Elizabeth’s and Nancy’s stories interwoven, the former taking place during the second world war and the latter taking place in the present. Like everyone else it seems, I was thoroughly surprised by the WWII historical fiction pieces taking up a solid 2/3 of this book. Her friendship with Adeline, her unhappy marriage and the compassion she showed not only to the two young evacuee girls, Maisie and Shirley, but others too despite her own suffering, made her a sympathetic and engaging character.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. With well developed characters, a fantastic sense of place and plenty of tension and suspense, Coming to Find You was extremely enjoyable and addictive. 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.
