Television reporter Ava Brent is pregnant with her first child, and while this should be a time filled with joy and happiness, she’s become obsessed with Overtoun House. The creepy old house has quite a history, complete with a ghostly white lady and a bridge that modern days dogs jump from to their deaths. Ava can’t stay away from the old estate, even though she feels in her bones that something very ugly happened there. Locals believe it to be one of the “thin places” a spot where the veil between the living and the dead is especially thin. This book was so good I didn’t want it to end, one of the best gothic novels I’ve ever read

A great slow-burner, The Thin Place is centred around the chilling mystery of the Overtoun estate as journalist Ava digs into its past, trying to uncover the secrets behind this 'thin place'.

Not only a thriller, this story gives a really interesting depiction of pregnancy and motherhood, periods that are 'supposed' to bring women great joy but in reality are often very challenging both physically and mentally. The interesting mix of diary-like and dialogue-driven writing made this a really enjoyable and exciting read for me, and I felt it worked really well with the story spanning from the past of 1929 to the present day.

Marion and Constance's stories are what made the book for me, and the author has done a fantastic job of showing Constance's journey from naivety to realisation. I wish we had more of Marion's life! I found her story the most compelling of the three, and I felt that more of her life could have been explored, but maybe C D Major wanted the reader to focus more on the present.

All in all a very enjoyable read, can't wait to get into more of C D Major's works!

This is a fast paced mysterious book written from 3 different view points, 2 in the past and one in the present.
In the present Ava is drawn to investigate overtoun house and the nearby bridge where many legends are told about numerous dogs leaping to their deaths.
In the past Marion and Constance lived in Overtoun house. Each character had an interesting all though depressing life in the past. As Ava investigates the history she seems to become more obsessed with the how and whys of the house with no regards to her own health (She is pregnant and has some high blood pressure)
Things come to a head as she receives threatening messages to discontinue her investigations and the ending was interesting and satisfying.

I love stories where houses take on an almost human-like quality. Given the description of The Thin Place and its atmospheric estate, I was prepared to be sucked into the book. Unfortunately, it just didn't click for me. The multiple perspectives felt more distracting than intriguing. By the time I was about 20% of the way through, I hoped to be into the plot, but there just wasn't enough buy-in to keep reading.

I really liked this one- just the right side of creepy and I couldn't put it down! Some of the twists were a bit predictable but added to the story well.
I liked the flashbacks that told more of the story and really added to the tension, and tied the story together.
I empathised much more with Constance than with the main character of Ava, and found the details of her life heart-breaking.
I found myself wanting to visit Overtoun to see if I could feel "it" too.

So, I have read The Other Girl from this author and I really liked it, so when I saw this ARC, I was super excited to get my hands on it.
This book didn't live up to my high expectations, although it wasn't a bad book at all. I love this author's writing and she can create a vivid book - almost movie-like - with her descriptions and realistic dialogue and I really like this.
However, I was way more invested in Marion and Constance's chapters than Ava's. I almost skim-read hers to get to the others and this didn't add anything to the story. I was honestly so captivated by the other two's voices that I forgot Ava was even investigating this at all. I think the book might have benefited from more of their chapters or maybe even told from Ava's mother's point of view.
However, the pacing for this story was great and I would honestly recommend this author.

I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

That’s amazing thriller kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. The characters were realistic in the plot was thrilling. I highly recommend this book.
