The Thin Place, C D Major

I do enjoy books with a strong sense of setting. The Thin Place definitely has this when Ava, a TV reporter, is drawn to Overtoun House and, in particular, a bridge there, where dogs have been known to jump to their deaths. Ava starts to develop an obsession with the place and keeps returning there, causing difficulties in her relationships with her husband and family, who want her to focus on the fact she’s pregnant and should be looking after herself and the baby.

The book is split into multiple perspectives, and as well as Ava’s story, we also get to find out about two other characters, Marion and Constance and as you might expect, there is a link between all three characters.

This is a well-paced, intriguing book, and there are some spooky elements. It played out to a satisfying conclusion and was an enjoyable read.
