The plot was really engaging. I was constantly trying to guess what was going to happen next but it was impossible to keep up. A serious incident on the job sees Midwife Emily Gentle fleeing to her childhood home in Cornwall to care for her ailing father – Harold Gentle. But, when Emily arrives, she is greeted by an unwelcome surprise – her father has hired a career, Francoise Alarie. She’s young and pretty, and Emily’s disturbed by the close, unnatural relationship she witnesses between Francoise and her father. There’s just something about her Emily doesn’t trust. What secrets is she hiding? Because Emily knows all about secrets. So does Harold. I do like this author despite this rather negative review, and I will eagerly look out for her future work. I'm sure many will enjoy this book but on this occasion it didn't work for me. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review! Lyutsifer Safin: James Bond. History of violence. License to kill. Vendetta with Ernst Blofeld. In love with Madeleine Swann. I could be speaking to my own reflection.
We All Have Our Secrets by Jane Corry | Waterstones
At times I really liked both leading ladies and felt sorry for them, at others I just didn't trust them, and wasn't sure what to believe about either of them. My mind was changing rather frequently. My new 2023 Penguin suspense is set in the Second World War and the present day. When Nancy’s stepbrother is sent to prison for killing her mother and his father, Nancy seeks refuge from the press at the family seaside holiday home in Devon. But Tall Chimneys was once owned by Elizabeth who took in evacuees during the Second World War and was also a member of Churchill’s Secret Army. Elizabeth commited a teribble crime. Can Nancy discover what it was - and finally find peace for herself? Tanner: [referring to Blofeld] He’s the most valuable asset this country has. I know you and he have a history, but don’t let him get in your head. If you feel yourself losing control…
IMF Secretary: You will then disappear, and this conversation never having taken place, your intentions would be unclear. But if any one of your team is caught or killed, they will be branded terrorists, out to incite global nuclear war.

The characters were beautifully complex and the small community setting realistically portrayed. I loved Billy- he reminded me of one of my own children at that age and that's what Jane does so well.’ A standalone thriller from author Jane Corry. This is an excellent read and had me guessing throughout. The two women have a problem with each other from the beginning. Emily thinking that Françoise is there to extort her old father for money and Françoise thinking that Emily does not appreciate all that she has. Both women and Harold himself all have secrets that they are keeping from each other. After Harold's death, there is a lot to uncover.M: I can’t pretend there weren’t some sorry faces when you left us, Bond. But you fell so far off the grid that we thought you must be dead. Now, learning that you were, in fact, Bond and Dalida’s experience functions on a more individual level; isolated by their experiences, the responsibility for self-assertion and expression is entirely their own. That said, it is their ways of coping with isolation and tragedy that make them relatable and fosters an allegiance with queer audiences. Mourir sur scène Mám pocit, že by ty chvíle měla mít, protože mi nikdy nic špatného neudělala, ale já jsem nejmladší. James Bond: [to Madeleine] I don’t know if you wanted me to come here, or why you tried to kill Blofeld, or who gave you the poison to do it, or how long you’ve been working for them, but I do know, that for what felt like five minutes of my life, I wanted everything with you. And it’s not because I didn’t trust. It was just that feeling. Madeleine: What? But you promised. Just get off that island. I know you can do this. Everything’s good now. There’s no one left to hurt us.

Half-way through the book and I was well and truly glued to my kindle. But - and I'm loath to say this - I'm afraid the ending fell rather flat for me. Francoise was my favourite character in this book. I couldn't help but question what her secrets where and I did manage to guess correctly but the fall out was amazing. The way Harold is with Francoise is exactly why I didn't like his character. clearly using her to get jealous. But the way she is with Emily also made me realise there was more to her story. An intriguing story with unlikeable characters that kept me invested enough to read it in one sitting.Lyutsifer Safin: [to James] Now we are both poisoned with heartbreak. Two heroes in a tragedy of our own making. Anyone we touch, we are their curse. A stroke to their cheek, a kiss, would kill them instantly. Lyutsifer Safin: The thing that no one wants to admit is that most people want things to happen to them. We tell each other lies about the fight for free will and independence, but we don’t really want that. We want to be told how to live, and then die when we are not looking. People want oblivion, and a few of us are born to build it for them. So, here I am, their invisible god, sneaking under their skin. True friends are those who came into your life, saw the most negative part of you, but are not ready to leave you, no matter how contagious you are to them.” Unfortunately - and there's no easy way to say this - for me, 'We All Have Our Secrets' fell into the latter category. Blofeld: Mm, my avenging angel. My chaser of lost causes. Now you even chase mine. But you’re asking the wrong question.
