This is a page turner of a book, I couldn’t put it down and read it in 2 days.  The book had me gripped from the beginning to the end.  Stella, brought up on a small island until she was 11 years of age when one night, without explanation the family leave the island and Stella leaves her best friend behind.  
The story travels between the present and the past as Stella looks for answers after she hears on the news, some 25 years after leaving the island, that a bday has been found near her old home.  The plot deepens with many twists and turns as Stella looks for answers and begins to delve into her family history on the island.  Family secrets and intrigue make for a riveting read  that is gripping from the start.

A very descriptive novel with believable characters. Lots of twists and turns in the plot. Tends to flick from present to past and can be a bit confusing. A clever thriller and a good read. My thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

From the best selling author of NOW YOU SEE HER.
A island community is in shock after the discovery of a decomposed body.
The body was discovered in the garden of former family home of Stella Harvey,the home the Stella's family fled from twenty five years ago. 
This novel has secrets, intrigue and mystery all round into one.

In this book the reader is thrown into the mystery right from the start and the pace is kept up throughout the book.  The characters are believable and well-written.  My only gripe was that the continuous switching from past to present which was a trifle off-putting  but the storyline is a really good one and builds up into a very exciting climax.  I would certainly recommend this book to mystery lovers.

I really didn't know what to make of this book, I liked it at the start and thought it sounded interesting,but I soon got fed up of the constant going back to the past and then back to the present time chapters.This technique can work well, but the past chapters lost my interest quite early on and I just wanted to get on with the present story.I did guess some of it but was still surprised by other things and that was good, I really am undecided about how many stars to give this.I guess if you are more patient than me you may enjoy reading the chapters set in the past more than I did, and I think the fairest I can be is to give the book 4 stars.Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for an ARC.

Plenty of twist and turns in this book and I really wanted to find out who had committed the crime, which has bought the main character back to the small island where she grew up. Also what had happened to force her family to leave the island in the first place.  The book was written a bit too predictably for me, and I couldn't find any sympathy for any of the characters. The main character was not very likeable and too much of a ditherer for me. But the story was well written and kept me guessing till the end.

Come Back For Me is a thriller telling the story of what happens after a body is found on a small island of just 100 odd inhabitants off the coast of Dorset. I’m fascinated by life on a small island so really enjoyed the descriptions of the island and the lives of the people who live there. 

The story is a real page turner and Iona’s true purpose on the island was skilfully revealed. I was touched by Stella’s relationship with her siblings and I was satisfied with the ending. Stella talks about the weight of the secrets she keeps but I’m not sure I would have found it the burden she does. 

This book is ideal as a holiday read and I would recommend it.

This book started off so well - great setting, engaging narrative, intrigue and family secrets. Sadly a rushed and somewhat disappointing climax and ending spoiled the overall read for me. Not up to the authors usual 5☆ standard I'm afraid.

Stella Harvey lives an idyllic existence on a small island until her family have to mysteriously leave suddenly during a storm.  Years later a body is discovered at the edge of her old garden bit who is it and how did they die?
What follows is a clever thriller but the ending left me a little hollow not sure why.
A good read nevertheless and I will look forward to reading more from the author

This was an entertaining read. I found the plot interesting and the characters had good substance to them. I had guessed the ending before the end but if I'm honest it wasnt much before the end. I would read other titles by this author and would reccomend this book for others to read.

An amazing, engaging story about family secrets and a tight knit community. A good couple of plot twists and a lovely setting. Recommended for psychological thriller fans x

I liked this book but it did get slightly confusing! 

A  thriller regarding a rushed exit from a sparsely populated island. Characters weren't particularly likeable and didn't get much time to get to know them but over all, a good read!

This was my first experience of this author and I have to say I was very impressed.
The book has a good pace to it, the characters draw you in and kept me interested. I was reluctant to put it down.
There were plenty of twist and turns to keep the reader engaged.
I will be looking out for more by this author

This is a well written story about an adult counsellor, Stella, who has past demons involving her family and their time on a remote island called Evergreen. The family have long since moved away and Stella has worked hard to hide her memories, then, a body is discovered.

The positives are: I enjoyed the alternate past vs present chapters and the slow unveiling of each family member, all who have an element of suspicion surrounding them. It’s a slow build with an ending that ties up all loose ends.

The negatives: it’s very slow and quite formulaic in it’s process. Also, despite the ending tying everything up, it’s a tad far fetched.

All in all, it’s an enjoyable, fairly easy read. 3*

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to preview this book in exchange for my honest review.

What a page turner this was.... stella grows up in a close knit community when suddenly at 11 years ago her family leave without so much as an explanation ....... fast forward to her adult years and  she sees on  the news that a body has been found in the garden of her childhood home....... read this book you will.enjoy it

This is only the 2nd book I’ve read by this author bit will certainly be reading more.  While the first hand was good I found the second half so fast paced I found myself having to go back a page everynoqa d then to remind me who was who, and what they had or hadn’t done.   All in all, a very good story

Such an accomplished read. I wasn’t sure where it was going to take me, but it kept me gripped all the way to the end. The plot twists and turns. Some colourful and intriguing characters with a very atmospheric locational setting. Another gem from Heidi Perks!

Come Back For Me is another great work from Heidi Perks.  You cannot miss out on this.  The story was well-plotted and very engaging.

It was okay but a little disappointing, I didn't gel with the charters and I found the storyline uninspiring. Sorry I liked her previous book much more.

When Stella Harvey hears the news that a body has been found in the garden of her childhood home - the home her family fled without explanation twenty-five years ago, she feels the need to return to the tiny island off Poole to find out more.

This turn of events leads her to question her past and becomes desperate to unearth the truth, She discovers that the people she left behind aren't as friendly as she remembers and that they will go to any length to protect their secrets.

It's a fast paced story flicking between the present day and the build up in the past to the Harvey family suddenly leaving the small island all those years ago.  It's mostly seen from the point of view of Stella in the present and Marie, her mother, in the past.

I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review.
