About this deal

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Most of the ‘Jane Corry-isms’ were present: the South-West-seaside-setting; an unreliable female narrator; a dark secret; shifting time and perspective; a brief jaunt to to prison, and of course a murder. It is a tightly written book where words are not wasted and you are left anxiously waiting to find out what happens next.

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. Jane Corry seems to make each chapter end on a thrilling moment which made me want to read on to find out what happens next. This often hair-raising experience helped inspire her Sunday Times-bestselling psychological dramas, of which she has now sold over a million copies worldwide. Determined to disappear, Nancy flees to the seaside in Devon, to Tall Chimneys, her grandmother’s secluded inn–a place that holds many dark wartime secrets.I wasn’t expecting the lovely folks at Penguin Random House Canada to grant my late request, so I was surprised when less than 24h later, the ARC appeared on my Kindle. It was after her father had died and her mum married Duncan, Martin’s father, that the relationship with her mother changed. One in the present, which is the one you read about in the blurb, where Nancy has just come out of a murder trial in which her stepbrother was convicted of murdering her mother and his father, and the press won't leave her alone. Jane Corry has crafted a well-paced and well-plotted story that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end. Not only is Nancy living ‘the silent sentence of shame’ but she’s also on the run, hounded by the press who claim that Nancy knows more than she’s letting on.

Both stories were equally captivating and as the story unfolds you begin to understand the different leads and how the stories intertwine. To get away from the press, Nancy retreats to her Grandmothers Regency House ‘Tall Chimneys’ in a rural seaside village near Devon. The thrilling part of this really felt out of place with this story and I think it would of went better with out it honestly it would of flowed better in my opinion. It is splashed over the papers and Nancy knows that soon she will have journalists on her doorstep, so she decides to go to Sidmouth in Devon, to the house she has inherited from her grandmother Adeline, Tall Chimneys. There was incredible pacing for a thriller and many twists and turns that I felt came to a satisfying conclusion at the end.I don't think it's a spolier but I certainly didn't realize this book is broken into two different time period POVs. Additionally, there is a second storyline not mentioned in the summary surrounding Nancy’s grandmothers friend Elizabeth, the previous owner of Tall Chimneys.
